Good Lord. My scheduled Cesarian section delivery in 2020 was a hair over 5,000 EUR, including three nights in a double room (extremely short in Germany for that procedure, but our house was closer to the maternity ward than the main public parking garage is), and that was all picked up by my private insurance. I don't know what the in-patient charges for my child were, because that was my husband's insurance, but I'm going to guess far less, since he didn't require any special handling, thank God. In Germany, there is the GOÄ, which is a publicly-available list of procedures and what the public health insurance funds will pay doctors and hospitals for them. Private patients can be charged fixed multiples, but usually no more than about 3.5 times the "list" prices.
