Kur + Reha

What Kur + Reha does

Kur + Reha GmbH is a German nonprofit healthcare provider, founded in 1990 and headquartered in Freiburg im Breisgau, operating 12 specialized rehabilitation clinics plus one Medical Care Center (MVZ) across Germany under the parent affiliation of Der Paritätische Wohlfahrtsverband Landesverband Baden-Württemberg. The company delivers five integrated service lines: mother-child cures (Mutter-Kind-Kur, 8 clinics), father-child cures (Vater-Kind-Kur, 7 clinics), family rehabilitation (Rehaklinik Kandertal), psychosomatic acute treatment and rehabilitation (Thure von Uexküll-Klinik, Kandertal, Buching), and addiction rehabilitation (Rehaklinik Birkenbuck), serving approximately 12,000 children and an undisclosed adult patient base annually with roughly 1,000 employees.

The core digital infrastructure consists of the Klinikfinder platform at kur.org - an integrated clinic discovery, indication-matching, and online reservation system - complemented by WhatsApp Business contact, Userlike live chat, and a separate employee portal. The Klinikfinder, redesigned in August 2020, merged previously separate availability search, clinic matching, and booking workflows into a unified mobile-responsive platform addressing over 70% smartphone traffic. Certifications span Paritätisches QS-Siegel Reha, MGW-Qualitätssiegel, DSQS quality management audits, and DSGVO compliance.

The business model is anchored in statutory health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenkassen) reimbursement of mother-child, father-child, and rehabilitation services as mandatory benefits (Pflichtleistungen), with secondary revenue from private-pay patient tariffs (downloadable price lists) and minor donations processed through SozialBank AG. Distribution combines direct clinic operations, a self-service online reservation portal, free advisory services (phone, WhatsApp, live chat), and statutory health insurance referral channels. The go-to-market is sales-led with strong direct-to-consumer digital touchpoints and recurring earned media via STERN and FOCUS-GESUNDHEIT rankings across multiple consecutive years.

Broad incumbents

• MEDIAN Kliniken: Largest operator of rehabilitation clinics in Germany with a broad portfolio across orthopedics, cardiology, oncology, psychosomatics, and neurology. Comparable as a large German rehab chain serving statutory-insurance patients, though MEDIAN's scope is far broader than Kur + Reha's parent-child/family focus.
• Helios Kliniken (Fresenius): One of Europe's largest hospital operators with acute and rehabilitation facilities in Germany. Comparable as a multi-site German healthcare provider with statutory-insurance reimbursement, though Helios is predominantly acute care rather than preventive cure-focused.
• Asklepios Kliniken: One of Germany's largest private hospital groups, also operating post-acute and rehabilitation facilities. Comparable as a multi-site German healthcare provider reimbursed by statutory health insurance, though its core business is acute inpatient rather than preventive parent-child cures.
• Schoen Klinik: Privately held German hospital group with strong psychosomatic and orthopedic rehabilitation offerings. Comparable in psychosomatic rehab service line and German statutory-insurance reimbursement model; broader specialty footprint than Kur + Reha.
• BG Kliniken (Berufsgenossenschaftliche Kliniken): Network of German accident-insurance hospitals and rehabilitation facilities. Comparable as a multi-site German nonprofit-affiliated rehab network, though focused on accident/occupational rehabilitation rather than parent-child cures.
• Reha-Zentren der Deutschen Rentenversicherung: Rehabilitation clinics operated by the German Pension Insurance (DRV) including psychosomatic and medical rehabilitation facilities. Comparable as a German statutory-insurance rehab operator; in fact sold Psychosomatische Klinik Buching to Kur + Reha in 2021.

Comparable as a multi-site German rehab operator reimbursed primarily through statutory/private health insurance with similar quality certification discipline.
