Ellen Culpeck Insurance Broker GmbH is a leading insurance agency specializing in serving English-speaking clients in Germany. Originally founded for British soldiers, we now cater to everyone. Whether you have no military affiliation or are a member of the US Forces, BFG or NATO.

Our History

The founder, Ellen Culpeck, started the company from her home in 1960 and soon expanded it to many offices on military bases across Germany. She retired in 1990 and has since sadly passed away.

The current managing director, Astrid Rombey, daughter of a former British soldier, began working for Culpeck Insurance at JHQ in 1988. Over the years, she witnessed many soldiers being posted away and returning for another three-year tour until JHQ closed in 2013. Since 2000, she served as joint managing director for many years and is now the sole owner. She remains deeply passionate about her work, successfully leading the company with the hope that her son, Christopher, will take over after her retirement.

With the withdrawal of British troops from Germany, many military bases have closed, leading to the unfortunate closure of several of our offices. Although it has been saddening to see thousands of British soldiers move away, we have now been able to focus more on serving NATO members of all nations, expats of all nationalities, and US soldiers stationed in Germany and at SHAPE in Belgium.

We have also successfully developed sub-brands such as problemlos-privat-versichert.de, which helps individuals obtain private health insurance who otherwise would not be able to due to negative credit or lack of prior insurance.
