Overview
Caritas Trägergesellschaft Saarbrücken (cts) is a social services enterprise of the Roman Catholic Church headquartered in Saarbrücken, Germany. It forms part of the cts-Verbund, a group of eight affiliated companies. The organisation was founded in 1992 as a subsidiary of the Caritasverband für Saarbrücken und Umgebung e. V., and on 1 January 1993 it took over the sponsorship of Caritasklinik St. Theresia and other facilities previously run by the Caritas association. The creation of cts was intended to separate the open social work and peak-association tasks of the Caritas association from its institutional work, achieving a clear conceptual, structural and economic division. As a social-caritative management holding, cts provides its affiliated facilities and companies with professional and organisational support, including service functions such as finance, IT, construction, legal affairs, education and communication. The cts head office in Saarbrücken acts as the leadership centre for the group. According to its mission statement, cts is guided by Jesus Christ and his message, and works in the fields of health, elderly care, child and youth welfare, and education to help people in need. The cts group comprises eight companies: Caritas Trägergesellschaft Saarbrücken mbH (cts), cts-Schwestern vom Heiligen Geist gGmbH, cts-Reha GmbH, Vinzentius Krankenhaus Landau GmbH, cts Integra GmbH, cts Altenhilfe GmbH, cts Jugendhilfe GmbH and cts Service GmbH. As a sponsor, cts operates 34 own facilities in the areas of health, youth, disability and elderly care, and also maintains cooperation agreements and co-sponsorships of other social institutions. Its facilities include CaritasKlinikum Saarbrücken, the Medizinisches VersorgungsZentrum (MVZ) at CaritasKlinikum Saarbrücken, Caritas SchulZentrum Saarbrücken, several Caritas kindergartens, youth welfare institutions such as Haus Christophorus and Margaretenstift, numerous Caritas senior homes and centres, and the cts Reha-Klinik Stöckenhöfe near Freiburg. The cts-Schwestern vom Heiligen Geist gGmbH operates facilities such as SeniorenHaus Immaculata, Theresienheim and Hanns-Joachim-Haus, while Vinzentius-Krankenhaus Landau GmbH runs the Vinzentius-Krankenhaus Landau and the Nardini-Pflegeschule. In the field of education and training, the schools of the cts group offer 325 places for training health and nursing professionals, health and nursing assistants, midwives, speech therapists, and geriatric nurses and assistants. Haus Christophorus additionally provides around 50 training places in home economics, rehabilitation technology and reintegration measures. Training, further education and advanced training are offered at the Schulzentrum St. Hildegard, the Stabsstelle Leitbild und Ethik of cts, the Nardini-Pflegeschule of Vinzentius-Krankenhaus Landau, and the Katholische Fachschule für Sozialpädagogik Saarbrücken GmbH (co-sponsored by cts). In 2011, the cts Caritas-Stiftung Saarbrücken was established as a legally capable church foundation under civil law. Its purposes include promoting public health care, elderly care, youth welfare, disability care, hospice work, education and upbringing, science and research, and church purposes. As part of the foundation's establishment, 90% of the shares held by Caritasverband für Saarbrücken und Umgebung e. V. in cts were transferred to the newly founded cts Caritas-Stiftung Saarbrücken. The foundation particularly supports the establishment of an acute hospice by cts.
History

Its purpose as an institutional sponsoring company was to take over the sponsorship of Caritasklinik St. Theresia and other facilities previously run by the Caritas association, effective 1 January 1993. The creation of cts was intended to achieve a clear separation between the open social work and peak-association tasks of the Caritas association and its closed institutional work, resulting in a clear conceptual, structural and economic division.
