COREH Care Holding is acquiring the Evangelische Dienste Lilienthal Group with four care homes, outpatient and day-care services and a training centre. The operational transition is planned for 1 January 2027.

Munich / Lilienthal, 5 November 2026 - COREH Care Holding GmbH is acquiring Evangelische Dienste Lilienthal. The operational transition is planned for 1 January 2027.

All of the group's services will be continued under the transaction. These include the four residential care homes Michaelisstift in Lilienthal, Huus am Stadtpark in Hemmoor, Huus Ihlienworth and Parkstift Osterholz in Osterholz-Scharmbeck, as well as the outpatient care service Lily Pflege Ambulant, the day care centre in the Hamme Quartier in Ritterhude, senior housing and the training centre for curative education nursing, occupational therapy and podiatry.

All of the around 350 jobs will be retained. Torsten Wieting and Henrik Schwarz will remain on board as managing directors and will accompany the transition and the further development of the group together with COREH.

According to Jacob Hetzel, Managing Partner of COREH Care Holding, the company is very pleased to have preserved Evangelische Dienste Lilienthal as a whole. He describes the group as combining strong regional roots with a broad, integrated offering from outpatient to residential care, and sees it as COREH's starting point for further expansion in northern Germany; he thanks the employees in particular for their strength and motivation over recent months (quote paraphrased).

Hetzel adds that the transition from a non-profit to an entrepreneurially managed structure does not mean a departure from the formative values of the facilities. Economic stability, he says, is not an end in itself but the prerequisite for reliably paying salaries, attracting skilled staff, investing in buildings and equipment and enabling good care in the long term; COREH does not intend to arrive with a standard concept from outside but to understand the individual homes, their history and their specific challenges (quote paraphrased).

In the coming weeks, COREH will work with the management teams, employee representatives and local teams to get to know the individual sites further and define priorities for their development. The focus will be on securing the quality of care, good working conditions, recruiting and retaining skilled staff and a sustainable long-term perspective for the facilities.

Hetzel thanks Dr. Malte Köster and his team in the role of custodian (Sachwalter), as well as Prof. Dr. Gerrit Hölzle, Dr. Karl-Friedrich Curtze and all those involved in the self-administration proceedings for their professional and solution-oriented support, and in particular Torsten Wieting and Henrik Schwarz for their trust and willingness to shape the new start together with COREH (quote paraphrased).

Torsten Wieting adds that Evangelische Dienste Lilienthal stands for committed employees, strong regional roots and an exceptionally diverse range of services for people in need of care and support. With COREH, he says, the group has found a partner that recognises, values and wants to develop these strengths together; he looks forward to contributing his experience and commitment to the group's next phase of development (quote paraphrased).

Evangelische Dienste Lilienthal operates under the guiding principle "Begeisterung stiften. Menschlichkeit pflegen. Lebensqualität gestalten." (Inspire enthusiasm. Nurture humanity. Shape quality of life.) COREH intends to build on this attitude and develop the group together with its employees in the long term.
