Germania Today | Fall 2021

A message from OUR PRESIDENT

L Paul Ehlert President & Chief Executive Officer T

ike the rest of the world, we at Germania have welcomed the year 2021 with open arms and a new mindset. Not only did this year provide us with more of a sense of normalcy, it marks a special milestone in our company’s story. One hundred twenty-five years ago this August, in a small schoolhouse in Perry, Texas, German businessman Otto Rau formed the Germania Mutual Aid Association. Otto and 30 other members saw there was a need for providing protection for rural farm property in small communities in Texas and hoped their cause would alleviate the burdens local farmers faced. Little did Otto know that 125 years later, Germania Insurance would expand to be the largest farm mutual insurance company in the state of Texas. Or that our tradition of providing fair and honest insurance protection would span to approximately 220,000 Texas families. It’s not a mission we take lightly, and it resonates in everything we stand for. From compassionate claims service during a year filled with unpredictable weather to our purposeful community partners, Germania dedicates itself year after year to evolving with our customers’ needs while staying true to our roots. I am proud to announce that Germania will be upholding its tradition of supporting the fight against breast cancer. For the fourth consecutive year, Germania will make a donation to the Breast Cancer Resource Center in Austin.

This community-based nonprofit is a perfect recipient for our support with a tradition of dedicated personal care for those affected by breast cancer, so no one must face the journey alone.
