Offenburg, Germany

CELENUS is a German provider of medical services with a focus on in-patient and out-patient medical rehabilitation. The clinics are specialised in psychosomatics, orthopaedics, cardiology, oncology, integrative medicine and naturopathic treatments, as well as mother-child treatments. CELENUS was created by AUCTUS through a carve-out of eight clinics from Marseille-Kliniken AG and its subsidiary Karlsruher Sanatorium AG. The management team of the clinics participated significantly in the carve-out by taking a major share of the new CELENUS group. In May 2010 three more clinics were acquired as an add-on to the group. At the moment, the group consists of 11 clinics with more than 2.000 beds, which makes CELENUS one of the leading providers for medical rehabilitation in Germany.
