ASB-Landesverband Bayern e.V.

What ASB-Landesverband Bayern e.V. does

ASB-Landesverband Bayern e.V. is the Bavarian regional association of the Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund, a federally recognized German aid organization tracing back to 1911. Operating as an eingetragener Verein (registered non-profit) under German law, it coordinates 18 Kreis- und Regionalverbände across Bavaria, with its Landesgeschäftsstelle in Erlangen and headquarters in Herzogenaurach, and claims approximately 200,000 members statewide. Its service portfolio spans Rettungsdienst (rescue services), Seniorenbetreuung (senior care), Behindertenhilfe (disability support), Kinder- und Jugendhilfe (child and youth welfare), Erste-Hilfe-Ausbildung (first-aid training), and civil-protection/Bevölkerungsschutz activities, plus the Wünschewagen last-wish program. Operations are carried out through three subsidiaries — ASB-Schulen Bayern gGmbH (training), ASB-Notfallhilfe gGmbH (emergency services), and ASB-Rettungsdienst GmbH München (Munich rescue concession) — which ring-fence liability and enable specialized contracting.

The business model is a hybrid welfare-and-commercial construct. Recurring membership Beiträge from ~200,000 households provide a stable funding floor. Reimbursement revenue flows from Pflegekassen, Krankenkassen, Bezirke, and Jugendämter under the German social-code framework (SGB V, XI, XII, VIII) for delivered care and youth-welfare services. Contract revenue is generated through tendered Rettungsdienst and Katastrophenschutz concessions with Bavarian municipalities and Landkreise. Commercial fee revenue is generated through ASB-Schulen Bayern gGmbH's paid first-aid and driving-license training, and through ad-hoc ambulance and event-medical services. Donations and Beiträge also cross-subsidize the Wünschewagen and volunteer-driven programs. In June 2023 the association founded its own Arbeitgeberverband and in January 2025 concluded an independent Tarifvertrag, formalizing labor terms outside sector-wide tariff structures. Norbert Tessmer was elected Landesvorsitzender in July 2026.
