Insolvency proceedings opened: PLUTA attorney Steffen Beck continues restructuring of Friedrichshafen and Tettnang healthcare centres

On 1 August 2025, the Local Court of Ravensburg opened as planned both insolvency proceedings for the healthcare centres operated by Medizin Campus Bodensee (MCB): Medizinisches Versorgungszentrum GmbH at Friedrichshafen Hospital and MVZ Tettnang GmbH. Mr Steffen Beck from PLUTA Rechtsanwalts GmbH was appointed insolvency administrator for both proceedings, having already been acting as provisional administrator for the companies.

“This changes nothing for patients. They will be looked after as usual at the healthcare centres and all appointments remain valid,” said PLUTA restructuring expert Mr Beck. The team also comprises attorney Mr Florian Schiller. The 90 or so employees based in Friedrichshafen, Tettnang and Kressbronn remain committed.

Sustainable solution sought

Now that the proceedings have been opened, both healthcare centres are being kept operational, while all cost commitments are being fully met. The insolvency administrator is working on finding a timely solution that will put both healthcare centres on a viable footing. Accordingly, he is focusing at this time on discussions with the hospitals’ shareholders and operators and with potential buyers. Insolvency administrator Mr Steffen Beck said, “The negotiations are in full swing. We are in communication with several interested parties. Our goal is to achieve a sustainable solution for both centres.”

To this end, Mr Beck and Mr Schiller are conducting a structured process to find an investor to acquire the centres outright or take on individual statutory health insurance contracts. The insolvency applications and the insolvency proceedings that have now been opened only apply to the Friedrichshafen and Tettnang healthcare centres. The associated hospitals are not part of the proceedings.
