Klinikum Stuttgart

What Klinikum Stuttgart does

Klinikum Stuttgart is a municipal maximum care hospital (Maximalversorger) and the largest hospital in Baden-Württemberg, operating across three integrated sites — Katharinenhospital, Krankenhaus Bad Cannstatt, and Olgahospital — plus a dedicated cardiac center (Herzzentrum). Founded in 1820 and owned by the City of Stuttgart as a non-profit municipal institution under public law (gKAöR), it functions as the academic teaching hospital of the University of Tübingen and employs approximately 10,000 staff serving the Stuttgart region with comprehensive medical, surgical, emergency, oncology, cardiac, pediatric, and psychiatric services.

The hospital operates 24/7 emergency departments at each site (INA, CINA, PINA), the Stuttgart Cancer Center (Tumorzentrum Eva Mayr-Stihl), the Stuttgarter Simulationszentrum STUPS for medical training, and a telemedicine service backed by Microsoft Teams with a formal Data Protection Addendum. Digital patient services include the KS Patientenportal (appointment and record management), nora Notruf App integration for hearing/speech-impaired emergencies, and the 07HEALTH podcast distributed on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and Acast. Virtual Reality (VR)-based training was added in March 2026 for emergency medicine simulation. Accessibility compliance is maintained under BITV 2.0 and L-BGG BW, with GDPR-aligned data protection and multilingual (German, English, Turkish) privacy notices.

Revenue is generated through statutory health insurance (GKV) and private insurance reimbursements under the German DRG system, supplemented by patient co-payments, premium accommodation and optional physician services (Wahlleistungen), municipal subsidies from the City of Stuttgart, and ancillary services such as blood donation, nutritional therapy, and parent education (Elternschule). The institution does not publish revenue figures, is not publicly traded, and is governed by a two-person Executive Board led by Prof. Dr. Jan Steffen Jürgensen (Medical Director and CEO) and Marya Verdel (Chief Commercial Officer / Kaufmännische Vorständin).
