Penzberg Hospital Secured as Sector-Crossing Provider; Herrsching and Seefeld Set for Specialisation

Financing negotiations over daily flat rates will determine whether the reforms can be fully funded against plans for a new Starnberg central hospital.

Overview

  • The Klinikum Penzberg will continue as a sector-crossing provider with its emergency department and the 2020-opened medical care center for hematology and oncology intact, and no immediate job cuts are planned.
  • Herrsching and Seefeld hospitals will convert into specialist clinics for geriatric medicine and hip and knee operations, meeting 25 percent quota requirements while keeping most existing services.
  • Starnberger Kliniken is advancing site talks and planning for a 450–500-bed central hospital near Starnberg expected to replace current facilities in about ten years.
  • The group’s sustainability hinges on securing negotiated daily flat rates by mid-December 2025 to cover Klinikum Penzberg’s €5–6 million annual deficit and the holding’s €23 million shortfall.
  • All federal reform mandates must be implemented by January 2028 to consolidate specialized care and safeguard regional healthcare access.
