The ADAC, officially the Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club (lit. 'General German Automobile Club'), is Europe's largest automobile association. The ADAC is the largest verein (club) in Germany, with around 21 million members.[2] Its headquarters are located in Munich. Its original and most well-known service is roadside assistance.[citation needed]
The objective of the ADAC is "the representation, promotion, and advocacy of motoring, motorsport, and tourism interests."[3] The ADAC also owns subsidiaries in the insurance and publishing sectors. These subsidiaries all operate under ADAC Beteiligungs- und Wirtschaftsdienst GmbH, which assumes the holding function.[citation needed] Via its subsidiary ADAC Luftrettung (lit. 'ADAC Air Rescue'), the ADAC operates the largest fleet of ambulance helicopters in Germany.[4]
