What SRH Holding does

SRH Holding (SdbR) is a private German foundation (Stiftung des bürgerlichen Rechts) headquartered in Heidelberg and founded in 1966. The organization operates an integrated portfolio of education and healthcare facilities across Germany, organized through 14+ wholly-owned operating subsidiaries. The education division includes SRH Hochschule Heidelberg, EBS Universität, SRH Fernhochschule (The Mobile University), Wilhelm-Löhe-Hochschule, Fachschulen, schools, the Berufsbildungswerk vocational center, and the Technological Education Center (tec). The healthcare division comprises SRH Akutkliniken, Rehabilitationszentren, MVZ/Praxen, Hospiz services, and the SRH Therapienetzwerk. SRH also extends internationally via the UPA Paraguay campus. The foundation serves students, patients, professionals, families, and youth-welfare clients, and reinvests all profits into its education and health markets rather than distributing them.

The foundation's service delivery is enabled by a network of physical facilities in 20+ German cities (Berlin, Hamburg, Dresden, Heidelberg, Wiesbaden, Karlsruhe, and others) plus an online/distance-learning channel via SRH Fernhochschule. The Technological Education Center (tec) equips trainees with modern notebooks, tablets, VR headsets, AR Brillas, and Siemens SPS systems for digital, AR/VR, robotics, app design, and Industry 4.0 training in MINT careers. In healthcare, the SRH Kurpfalzkrankenhaus Heidelberg leads the Parkinsonnetz Rhein-Neckar Plus, an interdisciplinary Parkinson's care network combining medical, nursing, and therapy expertise. Revenue is generated through tuition fees for educational programs and regulated fees for healthcare services, both operating under German regulated fee structures; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Governance is exercised through a Board of Directors (Vorstand) and Supervisory Board (Aufsichtsrat). As of June 2026, Patrick Mombaur serves as CEO (Vorstandsvorsitzender) following the death of Prof. Dr. Christof Hettich in early 2026, with the board's stated focus on growth and expansion of services. Headcount is reported at 10,000+ employees, and the foundation complies with German supply-chain due-diligence requirements applicable to organizations of that scale.
