What Landesgesundheitsamt Baden-Württemberg does

The Landesgesundheitsamt Baden-Württemberg (LGA BW) is the state health office of Baden-Württemberg, operating as Abteilung 7 (Department 7) within the Ministry for Social Affairs, Labour and Health (Ministerium für Soziales, Arbeit und Gesundheit). It functions as the professional lead agency (fachliche Leitstelle) of the Öffentlicher Gesundheitsdienst (Public Health Service) under §1 Abs. 2 ÖGDG, coordinating 38 city and rural district health departments (Gesundheitsämter) and the statewide network of Kommunale Gesundheitskonferenzen (Municipal Health Conferences) established across all districts since 2018. The organization provides health reporting, prevention, health promotion, and health planning services to municipal authorities, state policymakers, researchers, and the general public.

Its core product is the Gesundheitsatlas Baden-Württemberg, a web-based public health reporting platform accessible at gesundheitsatlas-bw.de. The platform is built on InstantAtlas dashboard technology and aggregates health data from federal sources (DESTATIS, Robert Koch Institute), statutory health insurance and physician associations, regional data holders, and international organizations (OECD, WHO, Eurostat). It presents this data through interactive dashboards, automated PDF area profiles (Gebietsprofile), dual-layer comparative maps (Doppellayerkarten), and a color-coded health barometer (Gesundheitsbarometer) covering 10 thematic fields including population structure, diseases, medical procedures, health behaviors, facilities, and expenditures.

The LGA operates as a non-commercial public entity funded entirely through state government appropriations. There is no revenue generation, pricing model, or commercial sales motion; the Gesundheitsatlas and all related services are provided free of charge to citizens, health professionals, and policymakers. The organization employs 2,430 personnel across the 38 municipal health departments. Its head office is located at Nordbahnhofstraße 135, 70191 Stuttgart. Dr. Gottfried Roller serves as the person responsible for content (V.i.S.d.P.) of the Gesundheitsatlas website.

• Landeszentrum Gesundheit Nordrhein-Westfalen (LZG.NRW): State health center for North Rhine-Westphalia, a sister Landesinstitut providing health reporting, indicator dashboards, and Gesundheitsplanung support comparable to the LGA Baden-Württemberg's role.
• Landesamt für Gesundheit und Soziales Berlin (LAGeSo): Berlin's combined state health and social affairs office, responsible for health reporting and oversight of local health authorities. Comparable as a city-state health authority delivering similar indicator-based reporting.
• Bayerisches Landesamt für Gesundheit und Lebensmittelsicherheit (LGL Bayern): State-level public health and food safety agency in Bavaria performing an equivalent fachliche Leitstelle role for the Bavarian ÖGD. Directly comparable in mandate, indicator-based reporting, and coordination of district Gesundheitsämter.

Broad incumbents

• Bundesinstitut für Öffentliche Gesundheit (BIÖG): Federal institute for public health under the BMG, responsible for national prevention and health-literacy initiatives. Sits above the LGA in the federal ÖGD hierarchy with overlapping health-promotion scope.

Regional players

• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): US federal public health agency with comparable indicator-based reporting, disease surveillance, and population-health analytics functions, although operating at a national rather than state scale.
• UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA): UK national-level public health agency performing surveillance, health protection, and reporting functions analogous to the LGA's role, but operating across the UK rather than a single German Bundesland.

Others

• Statistisches Bundesamt (DESTATIS): Germany's federal statistical office and a foundational data provider for the Gesundheitsatlas. Comparable as a public-sector data publisher and upstream data partner, though not a direct competitor for state-level reporting.
