Gesundheitsholding Werra-Meißner GmbH
Gesundheitsholding Werra-Meißner GmbH is a German private limited company (GmbH) registered with the Handelsregister (commercial register) at the Amtsgericht Eschwege under number HRB 2510, with its registered office at Luisenstraße 23, 23b, 23c, 37269 Eschwege, Hesse, Germany. The registry records the company as active.
Gesundheitsholding Werra-Meißner GmbH functions as a managing holding company for companies and institutions under private law operating in the health and social-care sector in the Werra-Meißner district of northern Hesse. Its stated corporate purpose is to lead and steer hospital and healthcare operations under municipal sponsorship, coordinating the group’s hospital, medical-care-centre and related service activities rather than delivering patient care directly itself.
The operating hospital activities of the group are carried out through Klinikum Werra-Meißner GmbH, which runs acute hospital sites in Eschwege and Witzenhausen and was formed in 2010 through the merger of hospital operations previously run separately in the two towns. Ambulatory medical services are provided through MVZ Werra-Meißner GmbH, a medical care centre (Medizinisches Versorgungszentrum) holding statutory health-insurance treatment seats.
Gesundheitsholding Werra-Meißner GmbH operates under municipal and public-sector sponsorship rather than as a publicly listed entity; it has no stock-exchange listing or ticker. No consolidated revenue or employee figures for the holding company itself were located in the sources reviewed as of September 2026; publicly available reporting on hospital capacity and financial performance for the wider Werra-Meißner group is generally published at the level of the operating subsidiary, Klinikum Werra-Meißner GmbH, rather than the holding company.

Shareholders
Shareholders of Gesundheitsholding Werra-Meißner GmbH
Ownership of Gesundheitsholding Werra-Meißner GmbH is public-sector in nature. According to the company’s own published corporate-group information, the shareholders are the Werra-Meißner-Kreis (the district), holding 86.7 percent, and the Stadt Witzenhausen (the town of Witzenhausen), holding 13.3 percent. No more recent shareholder filing date or subsequent ownership change was identified in the sources reviewed; the company presents this split as its current structure.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No natural-person ultimate beneficial owner applies on the basis of the disclosed shareholding. Both disclosed shareholders, Werra-Meißner-Kreis and Stadt Witzenhausen, are public-law territorial authorities (Gebietskörperschaften) rather than private individuals or corporate entities, so no Transparenzregister filing would be expected to name a natural person as beneficial owner on ownership grounds alone.
Data availability
Shareholder information for this company is best described as major shareholders only: the 86.7% / 13.3% split between the two public-sector owners is published by the company itself but was not independently cross-checked against a Handelsregister Gesellschafterliste (shareholder list) filing. The underlying Zavia.ai registry record for this company did not itself return shareholder detail beyond a generic Transparenzregister notice.

Group Structure
Group structure of Gesundheitsholding Werra-Meißner GmbH
Gesundheitsholding Werra-Meißner GmbH is not an independent operating company; its stated corporate purpose is to act as the managing holding company for a small group of health and social-care entities in the Werra-Meißner district of Hesse. The company itself has no identified corporate parent: its shareholders are two public-sector bodies (see Shareholders), not another company. Verified within the group are one direct subsidiary and one indirect subsidiary, both confirmed via the holding company’s own published corporate-group page. All identified group entities operate solely in Germany. This information is partial: additional Werra-Meißner-branded service and therapy entities referenced in third-party registry sources could not be independently confirmed as owned by Gesundheitsholding Werra-Meißner GmbH from the primary sources reviewed, and have therefore been excluded from the table below.

Group-structure information for this company is partial: the immediate holding relationship to its two confirmed subsidiaries is documented on the company’s own website, but registration numbers, ownership percentages and the full population of group entities referenced in third-party sources were not independently verifiable from the primary sources reviewed.
