The Gerling-Konzern, also known as the Gerling Group, was an internationally operating Cologne-based multi-line insurance company that was taken over in April 2006 by the Hanover-based Talanx Group, brand name HDI Haftpflichtverband der Deutschen Industrie, Germany's third largest insurance group. The group was fully integrated into HDI.[1]

At the beginning of 2016, Gerling also disappeared as a brand after HDI-Gerling became "HDI Global SE".[2][3] The Cologne headquarters around the (former) Gereonshof street was converted into residential and commercial space as the Gerling quarter.[4]

In 2005 the Gerling Insurance Group employed around 6400 people in over twenty countries around the world. The premium income recently amounted to approx. 4.56 billion euros, the profit amounted to 158 million euros, after the previous years had been rather loss-making.

Das "Gerling Quartier" ist das drittgrößte innerstädtische Quartiersentwicklungsprojekt in Deutschland. Die Immofinanz Group investiert rund 400 Millionen Euro in das Viertel zwischen den Ringen und der Kölner Altstadt. Der erste Bauabschnitt steht kurz vor seiner Fertigstellung und umfasst rund 20.000 Quadratmeter an gehobener Wohn- und Gewerbefläche. Bis Ende Mai sollen die meisten Gebäude in dem Luxusviertel bezogen und auch die Außenanlagen gestaltet sein. Prunkstück ist ein 330 Quadratmeter großes Penthouse, das das 62 Meter hohe Haus Gerling krönt. Es wurde im vergangenen Jahr für einen Rekordwert von 5,9 Millionen Euro verkauft.
