DRK KV Wiesbaden

What DRK KV Wiesbaden does

DRK Kreisverband Wiesbaden e.V. is a local chapter (Kreisverband) of the Deutsches Rotes Kreuz (German Red Cross), structured as a registered non-profit association (eingetragener Verein) headquartered at Flachstraße 6, 65197 Wiesbaden. It delivers a broad portfolio of humanitarian services in the Wiesbaden metropolitan area: first-aid training delivered through a central Ausbildungszentrum covering standard courses, workplace Ersthelfer training per DGUV standards, AED, pediatric, modular 'Fit in Erster Hilfe', and security-force emergency modules; three Kindertagesstätten (Kita Klarenthal with 108 places, Kita Delkenheim, and the new Kita Hainweg with 110 places) operating under Freinet/Montessori/Reggio/Situationsansatz pedagogy; the DRK Kleiderkammer clothing depot backed by 50+ clothing collection containers across Wiesbaden; four Seniorentreffs in Rambach, Bierstadt, Mainz-Kastel, and Klarenthal; the volunteer-powered Sanitätsdienst for event standby; the Jugendrotkreuz (JRK) youth program including Schulsanitätsdienst; and structured FSJ and BFD voluntary service programs routed through the DRK subsidiary Volunta gGmbH. Emergency medical and rescue operations are executed through the affiliated DRK Rettungsdienst Rhein-Main-Taunus gGmbH, with complementary social services delivered via DRK Soziale Dienste Rhein-Main-Taunus gGmbH.

Revenue is generated from five primary streams with no proprietary technology stack underpinning them. Supporting membership subscriptions start at €3/month and include a flight repatriation benefit; first-aid training is sold as one-time per-seat fees (€50 standard, rising to €55 from July 2026; €30 AED full / €20 refresher; €25 per 90-minute module for public courses, €250 in-house) plus custom in-house corporate sessions for a minimum of 10 participants; donations (one-time, occasion-based birthdays/weddings/anniversaries, testamentary bequests) flow through online forms and member campaigns; daycare is delivered under Hessian government Kita funding rules via the municipal wikita-wiesbaden.de portal; and emergency medical / rescue contracts are executed through the affiliated gGmbH under government arrangements. Course scheduling runs on the third-party hiorg-server.de platform and the corporate site leverages Google Web Fonts — no first-party software product is built or sold.

The organization serves five primary customer segments: (1) the general public of Wiesbaden and surrounding districts (first-aid training, blood donation drives, social support), (2) supporting members and donors contributing monthly fees and gifts, (3) employers and businesses needing DGUV-compliant workplace first-aiders and corporate in-house training, (4) families with children aged 0–6 seeking daycare, and (5) seniors participating in Seniorentreff programming. Outreach is led through the drk-wiesbaden.de website, Facebook and Instagram, member newsletters, attendance at community events (Wiesbadener Gesundheitstag, World Red Cross Day), and the Volunta FSJ/BFD pipeline. Distribution is anchored by 8 local Ortsvereine chapters covering sub-municipal districts (Auringen, Bierstadt, Erbenheim, Innenstadt, Kastel/Kostheim, Nordenstadt, Sonnenberg/Rambach, West/Biebrich), the headquarters at Flachstraße 6, three Kita locations, and the dispersed Kleidercontainer network. Governance rests on a volunteer Präsidium led by President Manfred Trittler, with Manfred Stein serving as hauptamtlicher Vorstand / Geschäftsführer of the employed staff.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Caritas: Germany's largest welfare confederation operating in social services, family support, daycare, and senior care. Direct overlap with DRK's Kita, clothing-bank, and senior-treff offerings, but Caritas is much broader (refugee integration, addiction counseling, hospital pastoral care).
• Deutsches Rotes Kreuz (DRK Bundesverband): National parent organization and federation of the 19 Landesverbände and ~500 Kreisverbände including DRK KV Wiesbaden. National body coordinates Blutspendedienste, international disaster response, and political representation; relevant as the governance/brand umbrella under which DRK KV Wiesbaden operates.

Others

• Volunta gGmbH: DRK Hessen subsidiary that handles FSJ/BFD/FÖJ placement, listed as an operating subsidiary of the local chapter. Indirectly comparable as a Freiwilligendienste placement agency and a feeder of young volunteers into the Kreisverband.
• DRK Rettungsdienst Rhein-Main-Taunus gGmbH: Affiliated EMS subsidiary of the local DRK network that performs emergency medical services for the region under government contract. Listed in the company's own data as a core operating subsidiary; included because it is the legal counterparty for the Kreisverband's EMS revenue and a structural peer for EMS-only providers.

Direct peers

• Malteser Hilfsdienst: Catholic-affiliated humanitarian organization operating across Germany with parallel service lines: first-aid training, EMS, Kita operations, Sanitätsdienst event standby, and Fördermitgliedschaft memberships. Closest direct peer in mission, structure, and revenue mix, competing head-to-head for corporate training, Kita placements, and EMS contracts in the Rhein-Main market.
• AWO (Arbeiterwohlfahrt): Major German welfare association operating Kitas, senior services, clothing banks, and social counseling. Particularly comparable for the Kita and senior center lines of DRK KV Wiesbaden, although AWO lacks the first-aid training and EMS sub-businesses.
• Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB): Confederate humanitarian organization with overlapping offerings: first-aid training, EMS, Sanitätsdienst for events, Kita/childcare operations, and supporting memberships. Competes directly for corporate DGUV Ersthelfer training and EMS contracts in the Rhine-Main region.
• Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe: Protestant-affiliated parallel of DRK providing first-aid courses, EMS, Kita services, Sanitätsdienst, and membership subscriptions across Germany. Highly comparable business model (subscription-based funding + mandated training + EMS contracts + daycare) and operates its own local chapters that directly compete for participants.
