DRK Kreisverband

What DRK Kreisverband does

D&T Internet GmbH is a German private limited company (GmbH) founded in 2004, operating from Köln, Germany. The company has held an exclusive mandate from DRK-GS (the German Red Cross General Secretariat) since 2004 to provide web hosting and content management services to all Rotkreuz-Gliederungen, including Ortsvereine (local chapters), Bereitschaften (volunteer units), and Kreisverbände (district associations). Its core product is DRKCMS, a TYPO3-based content management system with specialized designs for JRK (Jugendrotkreuz / youth Red Cross) and Wasserwacht (water rescue), along with HiOrg-Server integration for organizational management.

The company monetizes through four tiered subscription hosting packages: Ehrenamt (€14/month, for volunteer organizations), KV Basic (€30/month, for professional staff), KV Max (€58/month, for larger branches), and KV Ultimate (€95/month, for district associations covering subordinate units). All tiers include DRKCMS installations, SSL certificates, flexible storage (14–95 GB), and email mailboxes (50–1,000). Additional revenue comes from the Wohlfahrts-App (a unified welfare services mobile app covering daycare, care, transport, emergency call, and meals on wheels), Hausnotruf (virtual telephone routing for emergency call centers), DRKCMS training courses (Schulungen), online course registration (Online-Kurs-Anmeldung), and custom TYPO3 extension development.

The business model is a niche B2B/B2C subscription SaaS-and-hosting hybrid, exclusively available to DRK organizations. Distribution relies on direct outreach through the DRK network, a dedicated DRK hotline, and referral within the Red Cross community. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no acquisitions, no geographic expansion beyond Germany, and no parent company. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and headcount for the operating entity is not separately reported.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Fonial: German provider of cloud telephony and virtual phone numbers for SMBs and organizations. Comparable in delivering the virtual telephone number / routing functionality underlying D&T's Hausnotruf product, with similar per-line subscription pricing.
• Mittwald: German hosting provider explicitly specialized in CMS-centric hosting (TYPO3, WordPress, Neos) with managed services and training. The closest direct peer given D&T's TYPO3-based DRKCMS, with comparable agency/managed CMS positioning though serving agencies and SMBs rather than Red Cross.

Emerging players

• Jimdo: German-headquartered website builder and hosting platform aimed at small businesses and creators. Comparable in offering a simplified, bundled web-presence product for non-technical users — a similar pain point to D&T's DRK volunteer customers — but does not provide multi-tenant/multi-site management at scale.
• Greensta / GreenMark IT (non-profit IT specialists): German IT service provider specializing in non-profit and association digital infrastructure (web, email, cloud). Comparable in focusing on the German non-profit segment that D&T exclusively addresses, though with a broader association customer base rather than a single Red Cross mandate.

Broad incumbents

• Host Europe (GoDaddy group): Established German hosting provider offering shared hosting, email, and managed server products. Comparable product surface to D&T's tiered hosting bundles, but mass-market positioning and no exclusive vertical mandate.
• Hetzner Online: Major German hosting and dedicated server provider with shared hosting, email, and storage products at scale. Comparable technology stack (Linux hosting, mailboxes, SSL) to D&T's underlying infrastructure, but addresses SMBs and developers broadly, not non-profit verticals.
• Strato (IONOS Group): Large German mass-market hosting brand offering websites, email, domains, and SSL to small businesses and consumers. Similar underlying product surface (hosting + mail + SSL bundles) but no vertical specialization or exclusive-mandate model.
• netcup: German hosting and virtual server provider with competitive shared hosting, email, and SSL offerings. Comparable in providing the underlying infrastructure layer D&T uses, but without a vertical CMS or exclusive partnership model.
• IONOS (1&1 IONOS): One of Europe's largest web hosting and cloud infrastructure providers, offering shared hosting, email, SSL, and website builders. Comparable to D&T as a German-headquartered hosting provider, but serves the broad mass market rather than the DRK vertical and lacks a specialized Red Cross CMS.

Others

• TYPO3 Association / TYPO3 Agency Partners: The open-source TYPO3 CMS community and the network of accredited TYPO3 agencies that build, host, and maintain TYPO3-based sites. D&T is a specialized commercial layer on top of this ecosystem, and individual agencies (e.g., jweiland.net, dkd Internet Service) are direct competitors in the TYPO3 hosting market.
