Es gilt der Gerichtsstand des Versicherungsnehmers. Der Versicherungsnehmer ist berechtigt, einseitig den Gerichtsstand innerhalb der Bundesrepublik Deutschland zu verlegen. Der Versicherer akzeptiert das.
Applicable (to this contract) is the legal venue of the insured. The insured is entitled to move the legal venue within the Federal Republic of Germany unilaterally. This is accepted by the insurer.
I really don't like the wording - does somebody have a better idea for this?

Thank you, Niel. Yes, I was also debating whether I should use “shall be” or “is” in this case; I think that either would work. And yes, you are exactly right: The “policyholder” is not necessarily the “insured (person/party),” i.e., the “Versicherte.” :)

Insuree is entitled to choose place of jurisdiction
w/o written consent of the insurer or insurance company.
Your translation is not ideal as you have remarked yourself. One cannot move around the place of jurisdiction. We would normally say something along the lines I suggested.

I remember we often got insurance documents that contained the terms insurer (insurance company) or insuree (the insured).

Discussion
(ii) If "insuree" = "insured", then this is not necessarily the same as the policyholder.
(iii) There is no element of choice in the sentence.
