g5sp,

"Rechtsschutz Bundesl'a'nder Versicherung" Is probably an insurance company. The word "Versicherung" is "insurance" and "Rechtsshutz" is a compound word made up of "rights" and "protection" while the middle word sounds like it is supposed to be "Bundeslander" and two marks are "Umlauts" or two dots above the "a" to denote it is an "a" pronounced as an "ae" sound. It is like another letter and words with letters employing Umlauts mean something different than the same words without the Umlauts. In this case "Bundeslander" with Umlauts is plural of Bundesland. Bundesland is a state in a union, so Bundeslander with the Umlaut means states in the union, which is understood to be the states of the German Federal Republic.
