Baden-Baden Citizens Decide: Clinic future on June 29!

Baden-Baden, Deutschland - An exciting time is ahead of Baden-Baden! On June 29, 2025, citizens are asked whether they agree to build a new central clinic. This decision could not only affect local health care, but also send signals for the entire region.

The citizens' initiative "Yes! To the Baden-Baden clinic location" managed to achieve an important stage destination. The municipal council approved the citizens' decision after over 2,900 applicable signatures were submitted, which met the formal requirements for desires. Matthias Hirsch, a representative of the initiative, was full of praise for working with the city administration, but expressed criticism of the previous decision of the local council to ignore over 6,000 signatures in another citizen request. The question that is now in the room is: Citizens vote for or against the new clinic location on June 29?

health care in focus

The SPD parliamentary group has also commented on the debate and supports the citizens' decision as a democratic means. At the same time, they warn that a successful citizens' decision could endanger health care, in particular through the ailing infrastructure of the current clinic locations. Clinical planning is also not only important for Baden-Baden, but also affects the entire region. The new location on Lake Münchfeld could make sense, but there are concerns about the effects on health care in the city. The SPD wants to discuss these topics openly with the voters and relies on a realistic solution for high -quality and financed health care.

dr. Mark Lopatecki, member of the Pro Klinikum Baden-Baden i.GR., emphasizes in his guest comment how important a modern health care is. The discussion about the central clinic in Mittelbaden revolves around the supply close to home and integration of existing structures. The old building in Balg not only stands for tradition, but should also be part of a sustainable, innovative clinic ensemble. "Preserving existing structures" is emphasized as a significant aspect to ensure sustainability.

a citizens' decision with consequences

The accessibility of the new clinic location is mentioned as a central point: whether car, bus, train or bike - the connection should be secured for all citizens. The goal of the planned central clinic is to be more than just a quiet monolith; It should act as the center of a network. Digital efficiency as well as mobile services and digital consultation hours also play an important role in the future of health care. If you look at the arguments, it can be said that this citizens' decision has not only a local but also a political dimension.

Overall, a thread runs through the discussions: The decision that will be made on June 29 is a test stone for a patient-oriented and sustainable health care in Baden-Baden. It remains to be seen whether the city will become a pioneer for a fair health network. The citizens are called to give up their vote and to help shape this important decision. Ignorating the citizens' decision would be a mistake, and the chances of living health care in the city are on the brink.

Further information is provided in a brochure that should clarify citizens about the aspects of the citizens' decision. Incidentally, the cost of carrying out the citizens' decision amounts to around 110,000 euros

An exciting topic that all affects Baden-Baden! The commitment of the citizens and the dialogue with those responsible could be the key to a future -oriented health structure. Let's take a look at the developments together and we take part in the citizens' decision!
