Where these came from

These Russian-speaking therapists come from 2 sources, led by the Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Hamburg, Hamburg's statutory doctors' association (20) and the Psychotherapeutenkammer NRW, the statutory psychotherapists' chamber of North Rhine-Westphalia (18).

Every one of these sits on an official list, published by a body with nothing to sell.

Questions

How many Russian-speaking therapists are there in Germany?
We list 38, in 4 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Hamburg, with 20 of the 38.
Is Russian unusual for therapists in Germany?
3% of the 1519 therapists we hold in Germany are recorded as working in Russian. Most of them come from the Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Hamburg, Hamburg's statutory doctors' association, a register that records the languages each provider offers, so the figure reflects who that register covers, not only who speaks what.
