The company: The Marseille Clinics AG (with around 3200 employees) is one of the biggest private
suppliers of services on the German health care market. At present 36 homes for the elderly and
institutions for the disabled as well as eleven specialised rehabilitation centres within the
total German federal territory with more than 6000 beds belong to the company group. The annual
turnover in the financial year 1999/2000 was 305,5 Million DM.
The history: With the 1984 opening of the first home for the elderly in Langen in Lower Saxony,
Theo and Ulrich Marseille laid the foundation of a company which ranks as one of the largest private
services industries within the German health services.
After the death of Theo Marseilles in 1991 Ulrich Marseille lead the Company on his own. After
the reunification the opportunity arose to transpose the proven concepts regarding care of the
elderly also in the new German federal states. With this the company achieved an important contribution
towards bringing similarity to the circumstances of life in East and West Germany. In the years
1991 to 1994 the Marseille Clinics GmbH took over more than 20 Institutions in the former DDR or
built new constructions there. The Company was the fist private enterprise in the new German
federal states which offered modern care for the elderly with blanket coverage.
In 1991, the area of medical rehabilitation was included in the original field of activity
which was care services. The take-over of both specialised clinics in Blankenburg and Bad
Klosterlausnitz was followed five years later by a majority share of the Karlsruher Sanatorium
AG, a reputed operating authority of rehabilitation clinics.
