Welcome to Geburtshaus Ingolstadt

Your place for personal, whole-person care through pregnancy, birth, the weeks that follow and your first year as a family.

Your path. Your decisions. Entirely your own.

Geburtshaus Ingolstadt opened in 2002 — the first birth centre of its kind in the region.
As a centre for self-determined birth and primary health care, we support you and your family with experience, expertise and heart.

In the heart of Ingolstadt you will find a protected space where pregnancy, birth and the weeks that follow are treated as natural processes and accompanied with care. An experienced team of midwives, doulas, course leaders, therapists, naturopaths and other specialists is reliably at your side.

Whether you need information, birth preparation, one-to-one support or postnatal care — we are here for you.

Our birth centre — a place where you feel safe

Why a birth centre

„Hebammen betrachten die Geburt als ein Wunder und greifen nur ein, wenn es ein Problem gibt. Ärzte betrachten die Geburt als ein Problem und wenn sie nicht eingreifen, ist es ein Wunder“

Barbara Harper

In safe hands from the very start

Birth is first and foremost a natural process, not a medical problem. Birth needs attentiveness, restraint, quiet, respect, intimacy and privacy — together with the highest level of skill and empathy, paired with experience and intuition.

You will find all of this at your birth centre, with a midwife you know and trust who stays with you through every high and low. Your birth centre is there for you from the beginning of pregnancy until the end of breastfeeding — and beyond.

Safety comes first — in good hands, at every moment

Short distances. Clear procedures.

Sometimes things take a different turn and we decide together to move the birth to the nearby hospital. We make sure the handover to the labour ward team on duty runs smoothly.

We always accompany you during a transfer, and in almost every case it happens calmly and by car rather than by ambulance. Our birth centre is just under 2 km from the hospital.

That short distance allows for the highest possible level of safety.

Continuity

From ovulation to graduation — well, not quite, but certainly until the end of breastfeeding:
Familiar faces walk this path with you, because growing families are at the centre of everything we do.

We share your joy and just as much your pain, your fears and your worries. We answer your questions and we listen. Through knowledgeable guidance we build trust and confidence.

So that you can move through this remarkable time on your own terms and make informed decisions.

Our services — supported all the way

We are at your side with care during pregnancy, during the birth and in the weeks that follow.
Whether it is antenatal check-ups, birth at the centre or individual postnatal care — we accompany you on your own path.

All midwifery services are covered by German statutory health insurance.

Our team

We are a team of experienced midwives, supporting you individually on your way to birth. Whether at the birth centre or in hospital — the choice is yours, and we are beside you with expertise, sensitivity and safety.

We look forward to meeting you!
