Unfallkasse Sachsen-Anhalt

What Unfallkasse Sachsen-Anhalt does

Unfallkasse Sachsen-Anhalt (UK ST) is a statutory accident insurance provider (Unfallversicherungsträger der öffentlichen Hand) constituted as a Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts under German social law (SGB VII). It serves as the designated public-sector accident insurer for the German state of Saxony-Anhalt, headquartered in Zerbst/Anhalt with approximately 11 employees reflected in the scraped firmographic data (likely a partial figure). Its mandate covers prevention, rehabilitation, and financial compensation for workplace accidents, commuting accidents, and occupational diseases. Insured populations include public-sector employees of municipalities, counties, and state agencies; children in kindergartens; schoolchildren; university students; volunteers and first responders; and private caregivers (Pflegepersonen).

The organization's core service delivery sits on a modest digital service stack: the Elektronische Unfallanzeige (eUAZ) for online accident reporting via the Extranet; the incoming meineUKST member service portal launching September 2026; the Seminarportal (seminar.ukst.de) for continuing education registration, scheduled for replacement in 2026/2027; and links to the DGUV-hosted Serviceportal and diva-online physician/psychotherapist directories. The technology layer is functional rather than differentiated, with the website hosted by Ikanos GmbH. A notable institutional asset is the Landesfachstelle für Barrierefreiheit, housed at UK ST since 2020 and described as unique in Germany as a state-level accessibility expertise center.

UK ST operates as a non-profit public law corporation funded through mandatory statutory contributions (Beiträge) from its public-sector member organizations, with contribution rates tied to risk classification. It has no commercial GTM motion; coverage is automatic for members, and engagement is driven by field supervision visits from Aufsichtspersonen, prevention campaigns, seminars, and partnerships within the DGUV network. The organization's leadership is Geschäftsführer Martin Plenikowski, with self-administration through a Vorstand and Vertreterversammlung under state supervision. Multi-stakeholder programs such as Audit Gesunde Kita/Schule (with LVG), MindMatters (with BARMER, LISA, and the Ministry for Education), and Verrückt? Na und! (with Irrsinnig Menschlich e.V. and Trägerwerk) form its principal prevention ecosystem.

Core offering

Unfallkasse Sachsen-Anhalt is a statutory public-law accident insurance provider operating under Germany's Social Code VII (SGB VII).

Product overview

Unfallkasse Sachsen-Anhalt is a public statutory accident insurance provider (Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts) serving public sector employers and insured persons in Saxony-Anhalt. Its product portfolio is not a software platform in the traditional SaaS sense, but rather a set of insurance service channels and operational portals. The core offering is statutory accident insurance (Arbeitsunfälle, Wegeunfälle, Berufskrankheiten) with integrated prevention, rehabilitation, and compensation services. The primary customer-facing digital channels are: (1) the main website (ukst.de) serving as the public information and navigation hub; (2) the neue meineUKST service portal — a member self-service platform replacing the previous Extranet, handling account management and service requests; (3) the Elektronische Unfallanzeige (eUAZ) for digital accident reporting via the Extranet; (4) the DGUV-hosted shared Serviceportal providing cross-insurer channels for accident and occupational disease reporting; and (5) the Seminarportal for booking continuing education courses. These channels collectively enable members and insured persons to manage accidents, access rehabilitation services, pay contributions, and participate in training.
