Alte Oldenburger

Alte Oldenburger was established in 1927 as a mutual insurer offering private health and long-term care products. It remains headquartered in Vechta and operates through Alte Oldenburger Krankenversicherung AG. The firm allocates capital across real estate, public equities, and venture commitments. Real estate holdings include direct properties in Germany valued at approximately €106.6 million and a minority stake in Jakobstr. 20 GbR. Public equity positions represent about 2 percent of investments. It participates as a limited partner in Heal Capital, a European venture firm. Geographic focus stays within Germany and select European markets. Manfred Schnieders retired as CEO in 2024 after overseeing integration with VGH. The firm maintains memberships in Verband der Privaten Krankenversicherung and Principles for Responsible Investment. KPMG serves as auditor. Ownership flows through Alte Oldenburger Beteiligungsgesellschaft AG, where VGH holds 60 percent and Alte Oldenburger entities control the balance. This structure separates insurance operations from investment activities while linking governance to the partner insurer.
