CRPS Bundesverband Deutschland e.V.

CRPS Bundesverband Deutschland e.V., also known as CRPS Netzwerk gemeinsam stark, is a German registered association that operates as a network focused on Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. The organisation maintains a telephone hotline, a website, email channels, and social media profiles as part of its communication infrastructure. These channels are used to share information and facilitate contact among individuals interested in the condition. The organisation’s activities are carried out within the German context.

On 28 January 2022, the organisation experienced a hacker attack that disrupted its online systems, making its website and email services inaccessible while recovery work was underway. During this period, the telephone hotline continued to function, allowing callers to reach the organisation despite the digital outage. The incident caused temporary limitations on the organisation’s ability to deliver services through its usual online platforms. Restoration efforts were undertaken to bring the affected systems back online.

A distinguishing feature of the organisation is its emphasis on solidarity, reflected in the subtitle 'Netzwerk gemeinsam stark' which translates to 'network together strong'. Its legal form as an eingetragener Verein (e.V.) indicates a non‑profit, member‑based structure typical of German civil society organisations. The continued availability of the telephone hotline during the cyber incident highlights a commitment to maintaining at least one reliable contact method when digital services are impaired.

The organisation operates within Germany. Its headquarters are located in Germany, although the exact city is not specified in the available sources. No information is provided about a parent or subsidiary relationship, indicating that it functions as an independent registered association.
