AGAPLESION BETHANIEN DIAKONIE gemeinnützige GmbH
AGAPLESION BETHANIEN DIAKONIE gemeinnützige GmbH is a German non-profit limited liability company (gemeinnützige GmbH, gGmbH). It is registered in the commercial register (Handelsregister B) of the Amtsgericht Frankfurt am Main under HRB 48392. The register shows the sheet as current, with its latest entry on 8 February 2024. The company runs residential nursing care, specialist psychiatric care and day care for older people in Berlin. Its statutory seat and registered business address are at Ginnheimer Landstraße 94, 60487 Frankfurt am Main. Its legal notice gives its operating address as Paulsenstraße 5-6, 12163 Berlin-Steglitz.
The articles of association are dated 5 October 1999 and the company was first entered in the register on 2 December 1999. It was first called Sophienhaus Bethanien gemeinnützige GmbH and was set up to run the Sophienhaus care home at Paulsenstraße 5-6 in Berlin-Steglitz. It became Bethanien-Diakonie gemeinnützige GmbH (registered 14 December 2007) and took its current name on 4 June 2010. Its share capital is EUR 100,000.
The registered objects, last revised by the resolution of 11 January 2024 and registered on 8 February 2024, are the promotion of care for older people, nursing care of sick and older people and help for people in need within the meaning of § 53 of the German Fiscal Code (AO), all on Christian principles. The objects also cover pastoral care, the promotion of welfare work and the promotion of religion. These are tax-privileged purposes, which is what the “gemeinnützige” in the name refers to.
The Berlin Senate’s open register of care facilities names AGAPLESION BETHANIEN DIAKONIE gGmbH as the operator (Träger) of seven sites. They are the Sophienhaus (Paulsenstraße 5) and the Tagesstätte day centre (Paulsenstraße 5-7) in Steglitz, Haus Bethesda (Dieffenbachstraße 40) in Kreuzberg, and HavelGarten (Spandauer Burgwall 29) and Radeland (Radelandstraße 199) in Spandau. The other two are Havelstrand (Rohrweihstraße 15) in Reinickendorf and the Tagespflege Riviera day-care centre (Regattastraße 161) in Treptow-Köpenick. The company’s website also lists outpatient services, senior residences and a site in Hamburg under the same brand. This profile does not attribute those to this legal entity, because no official source naming their operator was checked. The Berlin State Office for Health and Social Affairs (LAGeSo) is named in the legal notice as the supervisory authority for its care homes.
The company is not listed on any exchange. Its annual accounts for financial years 2009 to 2021 are indexed in the Bundesanzeiger, but the documents are behind a security challenge and were not read. Later years are filed with the Unternehmensregister. No company-level revenue or headcount figure is therefore given here.

Shareholders of AGAPLESION BETHANIEN DIAKONIE gemeinnützige GmbH
The latest shareholder list (Liste der Gesellschafter) filed for AGAPLESION BETHANIEN DIAKONIE gemeinnützige GmbH is dated 3 September 2025 and was added to the register folder on 8 September 2025. It shows a share capital of EUR 100,000 in two shares, held by two shareholders:
| Shareholder | Type and register | Nominal amount | Share of capital |
|---|---|---|---|
| AGAPLESION WOHNEN & PFLEGEN gemeinnützige GmbH, Frankfurt am Main | Company, Amtsgericht Frankfurt am Main HRB 125140 | EUR 60,000 | 60% |
| Bethanien Diakonissen-Stiftung, Frankfurt am Main | Church foundation under civil law (rechtsfähige kirchliche Stiftung des bürgerlichen Rechts) | EUR 40,000 | 40% |
The list accounts for 100% of the capital, so the disclosure is complete as at its date. The 60% share passed to its current holder under a purchase and assignment agreement of 11 December 2023. That holder was then called AGAPLESION WOHNEN & PFLEGEN NORD gemeinnützige GmbH and took its present name by a resolution of 16 July 2025. The December 2023 list gave this holder the wrong register number (HRB 55321); the notary corrected it to HRB 125140 on 30 January 2024. The Bethanien Diakonissen-Stiftung’s 40% share is unchanged across the three lists filed since December 2023.
This register evidence supersedes the company’s own website, which still says that AGAPLESION gemeinnützige AG holds the 60% stake directly. The website statement was read on 15 October 2026. The provider data on this page shows the same two holders and percentages as the 2025 list, but it types the foundation as a “Person”. The foundation is a legal entity, not a natural person.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
Neither shareholder is a natural person. The 60% holder is wholly owned by AGAPLESION gemeinnützige AG (Frankfurt am Main HRB 55321), according to its own shareholder list added to the register folder on 12 September 2025. AGAPLESION gemeinnützige AG reported 19 shareholders at 31 December 2024, all churches, church foundations or associations. The largest was the Bethanien Diakonissen-Stiftung with 157,413 shares (41.33%). The foundation therefore holds a direct 40% stake and, through the parent company, an indirect interest in the other 60%. Those two figures date from September 2025 and December 2024, so no combined effective percentage is calculated here. A foundation has no owners. Who counts as its beneficial owner under the German Money Laundering Act depends on its governing documents, which were not reviewed. No natural person is identified as a UBO in this profile.
Data availability

Directors and officers of AGAPLESION BETHANIEN DIAKONIE gemeinnützige GmbH
The current register printout for HRB 48392 (Amtsgericht Frankfurt am Main), retrieved on 15 October 2026, lists two managing directors (Geschäftsführer) and no registered Prokurist:
| Name | Role | Representation | In office since (register entry) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alexander Dettmann | Geschäftsführer | Sole representation; may act for the company as agent of a third party | 07.10.2005 |
| Christian Lust | Geschäftsführer | Sole representation; may act for the company as agent of a third party | 05.12.2016 (Prokurist from 30.07.2014) |
Under the articles, a sole managing director represents the company alone. Where there are several, the company is represented by two managing directors, or by one managing director together with a Prokurist. Both current directors hold individual authority to represent the company. The company’s legal notice names the same two managing directors. The register records that the company has a supervisory board (Aufsichtsrat), but its members are not entered in the commercial register.
The chronological printout records seventeen entries since the company was first registered in 1999. Past managing directors were Hans-Albert Steeger and Bernd Weber, the first directors, and Karsten Mohr (entered 7 October 2005, left 14 February 2011). Burkhard Bachnick held Prokura until 2022. The provider officer rows on this page name the correct two people but give no appointment dates.
Recent officer changes
- 18.08.2022 — Prokura of Burkhard Bachnick ended (register entry no. 16).
- 05.12.2016 — Christian Lust appointed managing director with sole authority, and his earlier Prokura ended (entry no. 15).
- 14.02.2011 — Karsten Mohr ceased to be a managing director, and Alexander Dettmann was given sole authority (entry no. 9).
Data availability
The German commercial register publishes the names, roles and representation powers of managing directors and Prokuristen with dated entries. It does not record nationality, so nationality is not disclosed. Supervisory board members are not registered. The register also shows each person’s date of birth and town of residence, which are deliberately not reproduced here.

Data availability
The structure is verified from register shareholder lists for each link shown, so it is complete for the relationships in this table. Other holdings may exist; the company’s own document folder does not list participations. The group graph on this page shows each of the four subsidiaries twice. One entry of each pair carries a postcode-fused provider key (for example “DE 10623B99947B”), which is not a register number.
