    Private Krankenhäuser in wirtschaftlichen Schwierigkeiten - Handlungsmöglichkeiten der öffentlichen Hand - ein Überblick aus öffentlichrechtlicher, gesellschafts- und insolvenzrechtlicher Sicht
    2026-04-22

    Die Sicherstellung einer flächendeckenden, leistungsfähigen Krankenhausversorgung ist eine der zentralen Aufgaben der Landkreise und Kommunen in Deutschland. In den vergangenen Jahren hat sich die wirtschaftliche Lage vieler privater Krankenhäuser jedoch dramatisch verschlechtert. Ursachen sind unter anderem der anhaltende Fachkräftemangel, steigende Kosten durch Inflation und Tarifabschlüsse, ein Investitionsstau sowie strukturelle Veränderungen im Gesundheitswesen und die noch nicht in Gänze umgesetzte Gesundheitsreform.

    EuGH zu Gesellschafterdarlehen in der Insolvenz - Keine Berufung auf Art. 13 EuInsVO
    2026-03-30

    Der EuGH hat mit Urteil vom 19.03.2026 (C-43/25, „SML Maschinen") entschieden, dass sich der Empfänger von Rückzahlungen auf ein Gesellschafterdarlehen nicht auf Art. 13 EuInsVO 2000 (bzw.
