The VwdA

The Architects’ Pension Fund (VwdA) provides a secure retirement pension to its members. The VwdA is the compulsory insurance provider for all self-employed members of the Baden-Württemberg Chamber of Architects, the Schleswig-Holstein Chamber of Architects and Engineers, and the Hamburg Chamber of Architects. This means that it acts as the first pillar of retirement income for its members. Participating architects can rely on our experience and enjoy high benefit payments.
