In my contract, the landlord in the Pensionkasse, and not a private person. Should I contact the insurance to add this bill to it, or this is done automatically?
Unfortunately, I have lost the key to my apartment. For that reason, the locksmith had to change the key locker, and I will receive a bill it the next week for changing the locker. I have an insurance in my home.
Normally, you pay the bill directly to the locksmith. Then you claim the cost from your insurance. The landlord is not involved in the claim at all.
I don't really understand what you've written.
Could be a bigger problem than you may think.

Have you informed the owner?
I'll translate.
Unfortunately, I lost the key to my apartment. For that reason, the locksmith had to change the lock cylinder, and I will receive a bill next week for changing the lock cylinder. I have home insurance [to cover the repair].
In my contract, the landlord is [a company], and not an individual. Should I contact the insurance to for reimbursement of this bill, or this is paid directly by the insurance?
My thought as well. If it opens the main door, it could require all lock cylinders and keys of the building be changed!

That is not correct as the lock and keys also have a certain lifetime duration and you are only required to pay residual value.
