How many insurance brokers are there in Germany?

According to the DIHK intermediary register, there are around 46,000 licensed insurance brokers in Germany under § 34d GewO. Over 90 percent of them are solo brokers or small broker offices with fewer than 5 employees. On top of that come a few industrial and commercial broker groups such as Funk, MRH Trowe or Howden.

What are the most important pools in the German broker market?

The largest pools are Fonds Finanz, Jung DMS & Cie., DT&V, Bernhardt Assekuranzmakler, BCA and Horák. Pool affiliation often determines the tool stack, line-of-business access and compliance setup — important information for the outreach strategy.

Which lines of business are growing the most in 2026?

Cyber insurance (NIS2-driven in the SME segment), D&O for the mid-market, professional liability for new professions (AI tools, influencers) and occupational pension schemes. Classic property insurance grows more moderately amid increasing price pressure.

Which contacts are relevant in a broker office?

For strategic topics (pool switch, software, strategy), the owner. For operational tools, the back-office lead. For sales workflows, the client advisor. For solo and small brokers, the owner is the only contact.

Are the insurance-broker addresses GDPR-compliant?

Yes. LeadScraper works exclusively with publicly accessible data from the DIHK intermediary register, the BVK member directory, websites, imprints and LinkedIn. No purchase, no resale, transparent source attribution per contact.

► Insurance Brokers Address Lists / Leads

Insurance brokers are an attractive but highly fragmented B2B target group in 2026 — between pool consolidation (Fonds Finanz, Jung DMS, DT&V), IDD compliance pressure and the cyber-insurance wave, owners are under constant demand for software, pool and advisory tools. A precise insurance-broker address list, filtered by line-of-business focus, pool affiliation and size, is the entry ticket to brokers who scrutinize pitches very critically.

Who needs address lists for insurance brokers — and why

Insurance brokers are an attractive target group for broker software (eVB tools, broker management programs), compliance/IDD training providers, pools and network platforms, cyber/specialty insurers with a broker sales channel and specialized marketing agencies. Once you are listed with a broker office, you often get multi-line follow-up business.

For all these provider groups, a line-of-business and pool filter is mandatory. A private-client broker with a P&C focus buys differently than a commercial/industrial specialty broker with a cyber focus.

If you also serve related finance sectors, it is worth looking at credit brokers, factoring providers and subsidy consultants — all three overlap on compliance and advisory tools.

Understanding insurance brokers as a target group

According to the DIHK intermediary register, there are around 46,000 licensed insurance brokers in Germany under § 34d GewO. Of these, over 90 percent are solo brokers or small broker offices with fewer than 5 employees. Alongside them are a few hundred mid-sized broker offices (5–50 employees) and a few industrial and commercial broker groups such as Funk, MRH Trowe, Howden Germany.

The industry theme of 2026 is pool consolidation and the cyber-insurance boom. Pools such as Fonds Finanz, Jung DMS and DT&V are expanding their position as a central platform — with a tool stack, compliance service and portfolio acquisition. At the same time, cyber insurance is booming in the SME segment (NIS2-driven), while classic property insurance is under price pressure.

A cyber-insurance platform that addressed its outreach specifically to commercial specialty brokers in the DACH region with an IT/tech client focus achieved a response rate of 14 percent — compared to 1.9 percent with an unfiltered "insurance broker" list. The line-of-business and client filter is the main sales lever here.

Practical workflow – How to win insurance brokers as customers

Broker sales is trust- and competence-driven. Owners scrutinize every provider intensively and ask about pool compatibility, IDD compliance and a concrete commission or efficiency advantage.

Step 1 – Pull the list: LeadScraper list by line-of-business focus, pool affiliation, number of employees. 100–300 broker offices per campaign.
Step 2 – Enrich the data: owner name, pool affiliation (from the imprint), line-of-business focus (from the website), active job ads.
Step 3 – Email or LinkedIn: email as the main channel, LinkedIn as a cross-channel. Phone only for larger brokers with a secretariat.
Step 4 – Outreach with a concrete use case: first email with reference to the pool/line-of-business specifics plus a concrete commission or time-saving story. Generic pitches are out immediately.
Step 5 – IDD/compliance reference: anyone who does not reference IDD compliance and data protection in 2026 signals being an industry outsider.

For enrichment, the DIHK intermediary register, the BVK member directory and LinkedIn are the standard sources.

Common mistakes with insurance-broker address lists

Ignoring the line-of-business focus: private-client brokers and industrial brokers buy completely different things. Without a filter, wastage.
Overlooking pool affiliation: pool brokers often have no choice in software — the pool dictates it. Anyone who does not filter this pitches into dead ends.
IDD/compliance missing from the pitch: in 2026, IDD compliance is a mandatory topic; if it is missing from the pitch, it signals being an industry outsider.
Commission reference missing: brokers think in commissions. Anyone who does not show a clear commission or ROI advantage has no chance.
