How to cancel with Sterbekasse der Belegschaft der Saarstahl AG Völklingen, Werk Völklingen und Werk Burbach
Send the cancellation to the address printed on your policy schedule (Versicherungsschein). If none is given there, the head office is the right address:
Sterbekasse der Belegschaft der Saarstahl AG Völklingen, Werk Völklingen und Werk Burbach
Haldenweg 9
66333 Völklingen
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.
