St. Marien-Hospital gGmbH is a Catholic general acute care hospital headquartered at Hospitalstraße 44, 52353 Düren-Birkesdorf, Germany, founded in 1876 and celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2025. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Cologne-based Josefs-Gesellschaft gAG (JG-Gruppe), a Catholic healthcare conglomerate operating 38 subsidiaries across six German states with 10,000+ employees. The hospital employs 1,100+ staff and, together with sister hospital St. Augustinus-Krankenhaus under the Rur-Kliniken brand, operates nearly 600 beds serving a regional population of approximately 280,000 in Stadt und Kreis Düren with more than 10,000 inpatient treatments annually.

The hospital delivers comprehensive multi-specialty inpatient and outpatient services across 20+ departments including acute geriatrics, visceral surgery with robotic-assisted instrumentation, obstetrics/gynecology with a Level 2 Perinatalzentrum, pediatrics with a dedicated pediatric ICU, internal medicine (gastroenterology, oncology, cardiology, pneumology), and certified specialty centers for breast, colorectal, and lung cancer, as well as geriatric trauma (ATZ). It also operates a wholly-owned Medical Care Center (MVZ Düren) with outpatient practices in radiology, oncology, pediatrics, general medicine, and women's health, plus short-term care (Kurzzeitpflege) and the Rur-Campus nursing school (525+ training places).

Revenue flows primarily through the German DRG (Diagnosis-Related Groups) reimbursement system via statutory (GKV) and private (PKV) health insurance, supplemented by MVZ ambulatory revenue and Wahlleistungen (optional private services). Distribution is direct-to-consumer via a 24/7 Zentrale Notaufnahme (central emergency department), structured physician referrals, the Doctolib online appointment platform, and the relocated Diagnostic and Treatment Center (DBZ). Key customers are individual patients (essentially the full regional population), referring physicians, and statutory/private health insurers. As a non-profit gGmbH, St. Marien-Hospital is under the JG-Gruppe parent (Catholic, Cologne) with no external venture or equity ownership; revenue is not publicly disclosed.
