Heiligenfeld

What Heiligenfeld does

Heiligenfeld GmbH is a privately held German clinic group specializing in psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy, headquartered in Bad Kissingen and operating since 1990. The group runs 9 inpatient and day-clinic facilities across 5 German cities — Bad Kissingen (5 clinics including the Parkklinik, Fachklinik, Luitpoldklinik, Rosengartenklinik, and Zentrum für Tierbegleitete Therapie), Bad Wörishofen (2 clinics), Berlin (clinic plus day clinic), Uffenheim, and Waldmünchen. Its core offering is a holistic therapy concept integrating psychotherapy, medical treatment, body-oriented therapy, creative arts therapy, mindfulness, and spirituality, delivered through a therapeutic community model. The treatment portfolio covers a broad range of conditions including depression, anxiety, burnout, PTSD, eating disorders, personality disorders, addiction, ADHD in adults, and chronic pain syndromes, plus somatic rehabilitation in orthopedics, oncology, and internal medicine.

The business model is built on a B2C healthcare service delivered through Germany's regulated reimbursement system. The majority of patients are covered by statutory health insurance (GKV), with billing through the DRG/fallpauschalen system for inpatient care; private insurance, self-pay, and Beihilfeberechtigte (civil servant subsidy) patients follow separate intake pathways. Patient acquisition flows through a centralized Patientenservice Aufnahme (admissions service) accepting phone, WhatsApp, email, and contact-form inquiries, supplemented by a referring-physician portal (Zuweiserbereich), self-assessment tools, blog content (Seelenleben), and award-driven earned media. Operations are supported by the Akademie Heiligenfeld, a Psychotherapeutisches Ausbildungsinstitut, the Gärten der Seele gardens, and a kitchen operation certified under RAL-Gütezeichen and EU BIO-Siegel. The group employs 501-1,000 people and is led by Managing Directors Birgit Winzek and Michael Lang.
