What Stellwerk does

Stellwerk is a privately held physiotherapy and training practice headquartered at Roddestraße 12 in Münster, Germany, operating under the legal entity Gemeinschaftspraxis Witte & Haase GbR — a German civil-law partnership (GbR) jointly owned by Ralph Witte and Matthias Haase. The practice was founded in 2001 and serves both statutory health insurance patients (Kassenpatient) and private/self-pay patients (Privatpatient) through direct-to-consumer appointment bookings via phone and an online contact form.

The clinical service portfolio is built around four core therapeutic modalities — Physiotherapie (physiotherapy), Krankengymnastik (medical gymnastics), Manuelle Therapie (manual therapy), and Osteopathie (osteopathy) — supplemented by Kinesio taping, Elektrotherapie, Pilates, and access to an in-clinic Fitnessfläche (fitness area) with resistance bands, TRX straps, and exercise equipment. Service delivery is entirely in-person, with extended opening hours (Mon–Thu 08:00–20:00, Fri 08:00–18:30). The technology stack is limited to standard physiotherapy and fitness equipment, with no digital platform, mobile application, or API documented.

The revenue model is a mix of professional-services fees (statutory-insurance-reimbursed physiotherapy, plus higher-margin private osteopathy and manual therapy) and recurring subscriptions tied to the fitness area, Pilates, and structured training courses. Patient acquisition relies on local word-of-mouth, a single-clinic physical presence in a central, transit-adjacent Münster location, a basic website (stellwerk.ms), and an Instagram channel (@stellwerkms). The practice has no external investors, no parent company, no patents, and no disclosed funding or revenue figures.
