Due to its innovative nature, the state of Hesse supported the investment with funds amounting to 70 million euros. As the sponsor of the Hochtaunus clinics, the Hochtaunuskreis has secured the remaining financing through guarantees and at the same time has spoken out in favor of maintaining the Hochtaunus clinics in public ownership.
