The country of origin is important for health care coverage during short stays. If you come from the ERW countries and are an EU citizen, you only need the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) to be treated in Germany in an emergency. You can apply for this from your health insurance provider if it is not already printed on your current health card. For non-EU citizens, private health insurance for foreigners is useful for the period. Alternatively, travel health insurance can be used if the stay is short. It should be noted that the insurance must have a minimum coverage of at least 30,000 euros.
