Dialog Lebensversicherungs-AG: cancelling, benefits and complaints
Dialog Lebensversicherungs-Aktiengesellschaft has its head office in Augsburg, Germany. The German regulator BaFin lists the company as a life insurer under register number 1113. This page explains where your cancellation must go, how to make a claim and how often customers complained to the regulator.
How to cancel with Dialog Lebensversicherungs-AG
Send the cancellation to the address printed on your policy schedule (Versicherungsschein). If none is given there, the head office is the right address:
Dialog Lebensversicherungs-Aktiengesellschaft
Stadtberger Straße 99
86157 Augsburg
Germany
For contracts signed after 30 September 2016 a letter or an email is enough: German law no longer allows consumer contracts to demand more than text form (section 309 no. 13 of the Civil Code). Give your policy number, your name and the date the contract should end, and ask for written confirmation. A German letter is not required, but it avoids delays.
If the contract can be taken out on the insurer's website, the site must also offer a clearly visible cancellation button (section 312k of the Civil Code).
Notice periods by type of policy
Disability, term life, pension and funeral cover
to the end of the current payment period
These contracts can be cancelled at the end of any payment period, so monthly up to yearly depending on how you pay. That is exactly the risk: disability cover given up now is often unobtainable a few years later with a diagnosis on file, and a pension contract surrendered early pays back less than you put in.
Special right to cancel: Instead of cancelling: defer the premium, make the contract paid up or reduce the sum insured.

Complaints about Dialog Lebensversicherungs-AG to BaFin
Every year BaFin publishes how many complaints it closed about each company, split into eight classes of business. To make the figure meaningful we set it against the number of policies: complaints per 100,000 policies, next to the average of all insurers that report their portfolio.

What the figure does and does not say: BaFin does not assess whether a complaint was justified. A single large case can distort a year; BaFin attributes most of the 2025 increase to one single matter. Policy numbers are only shown where the company took more than 10 million euros in premiums in that class the year before, otherwise the table says n/a.
