Kolping

Today's Kolping Krankenkasse AG, headquartered in Basel, traces its roots back to the Kolping Society of Switzerland, which was founded in 1853. In 1885, the Catholic Journeymen's Association founded the health insurance fund as an association. In 1917, Colping Krankenkasse was recognized by the Swiss Confederation as an association-owned health insurance fund, but it was not until 1974 that the health insurance fund opened its doors to women and children. In the course of the health insurance law introduced in 1997, the health insurance fund was separated from the Swiss Colping Association and converted into a non-profit company in 2002. In 2016, we became affiliated with the Sympany Foundation. Here, the Kolping Health Insurance Fund continues to act as a legal entity and as an independent legal entity, but since 2017 it no longer has an independent brand presence.
