PLUTA attorney Frank Brachwitz appointed provisional insolvency administrator for GfA Tagesstätten GmbH

The Local Court of Charlottenburg ordered provisional insolvency administration for GfA Tagesstätten GmbH on 5 May 2026. Attorney Mr Frank Brachwitz from PLUTA Rechtsanwalts GmbH has been appointed provisional administrator.

He has already gained an initial overview of the situation of the company, which runs twelve adult day care centres in Berlin and Brandenburg. The company remains fully operational. The more than 90 employees are still employed and are continuing to care for those who rely on the facilities’ support services. Their wages and salaries are guaranteed for a period of three months thanks to specific substitute benefits provided under German insolvency law. The employees were informed about the current situation in several staff meetings and have committed to continuing their work with dedication despite the challenging circumstances.

Attorney Mr Frank Brachwitz said, “Our initial review has shown that we can keep the company fully operational even though provisional insolvency administration has been ordered. This means that all the older people using these services will continue to receive care. We are now focused on reviewing the restructuring prospects over the coming weeks and developing a sustainable way forward for the day care centres.” The provisional insolvency administrator is being supported in this by attorney Mr Nicolas Konkel and other experienced members of his team. Their aim is to safeguard the jobs and ensure long-term care and support for the clients.

Investor process for GfA

The provisional insolvency administrator will initiate an M&A process for this purpose within the next few days. GfA Tagesstätten GmbH offers attractive opportunities for investors: the company operates ten adult day care centres in Brandenburg and another two in Berlin. The care staff at these centres look after and support older people who require assistance and care during the day but still live in their own homes. If required, the staff collect the elderly service users from their homes in the morning and then drop them back again later.

GfA Tagesstätten GmbH, which is part of the Pflegewerk Group, is run from its headquarters in Wisbyer Straße in Berlin. Pflegewerk Berlin GmbH has already been under insolvency administration since October 2025. Attorney Mr Frank Brachwitz is also the insolvency administrator for these proceedings. He and his team have managed to keep the business operating over the past six months and more.
