Markel Insurance SE
Markel Insurance SE is a registered legal entity registered in Germany under HRB 233618 München, and its current status with Handelsregister (Commercial Register) is active. Its registered address on file is München, Germany. 2 shareholders are on record for Markel Insurance SE, and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from Handelsregister (Commercial Register) and was last updated on 6 October 2026.

The largest of these is Blitz Beteiligungs GmbH, holding 99.2% — a majority holding — followed by Blitzstart Gruendungs Ltd. at 0.8%.
Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.

The Member Of The Management Body of Markel Insurance SE currently on record is Ulf Spessert; five officers are currently on record for Markel Insurance SE, filed with Handelsregister (Commercial Register).

The source filing doesn't specify representation authority — whether officers can act individually or must sign jointly to bind the company — so that detail isn't available here.
Group Structure
Markel Insurance SE sits 3 levels below its ultimate parent, Markel Group Inc., registered in United States. 4 subsidiaries are recorded beneath it, across 5 jurisdictions. The full chain up to Markel Group Inc. is derived by walking shareholder filings across jurisdictions; no link in it is independently corroborated by Markel Insurance SE's own shareholder record. Each of these downward relationships is derived rather than filed: resolved by matching entities across the registry network, not stated directly in a single document.
Those 4 subsidiaries span Germany, Ireland, Spain, Finland, United Kingdom jurisdictions, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear.
