==History==
Guardian founder Hugo Wesendonck, a German civil rights lawyer, participated in the 1848-49 revolution and helped draft a constitution for a united Germany. Accused of treason, he fled post-revolution Europe and landed in the U.S. With start-up funds from fellow German refugees, he opened Germania Life Insurance Company in 1860 on Wall Street in Manhattan, to cover the growing number of German immigrants arriving on American shores. Two years later, he opened a branch in San Francisco, and later across the country, reaching territories such as Colorado, New Mexico, North Dakota, and South Dakota.〔(Cyclopedia of Insurance in the United States by Henry Rodgers Hayden, G. Reid MacKay )〕
In 1868, Germania became the first U.S. insurance company to start an agency in Europe. By the early 20th century, almost half its business was outside North America, until the pressures of World War I forced it to stop its business in Europe.〔(History )〕
As operations expanded, the company moved to Union Square in 1911〔(Welcome Yeshiva University - Cardozo School of Law Visitors )〕 – a location that would serve as Guardian's headquarters for more than 85 years. In 1979, Guardian began to regionalize many Home Office functions, and satellite offices are now located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania; Appleton, Wisconsin; Spokane, Washington; and Norwell, Massachusetts.〔(Mutually Beneficial: The Guardian and Life Insurance in America, by Robert Eric Wright, George David Smith )〕 In 1999, Guardian relocated to its current headquarters to 7 Hanover Square in the Financial District.〔(GUARDIAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA ANNEX )〕
