World-class research and medical care
As an internationally renowned university hospital, and one of Berlin’s largest employers, Charité has been making medical and architectural history for more than 300 years. Now it is striding ahead with ‘Charité 2030’, a comprehensive vision for the future that encompasses both medical care and urban planning.
In its role as the joint medical faculty of two major universities, Freie Universität Berlin and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Charité is one of Europe’s largest university hospitals with interdisciplinary teams operating at world-class level to conduct research, provide medical care and train future medics. Several German Nobel Prize winners of medicine and physiology were based at Charité, among them Emil von Behring, Robert Koch and Paul Ehrlich. Comprising four campuses, the university hospital is globally recognized for its excellence in medical training and has been a pioneer in urban hospital design for over three centuries.
Charité is now radically reinventing both its medical provision and its architecture. The ‘Charité 2030’ strategy lays the foundations for its ongoing architectural progress. Each of the campuses will become increasingly specialised while continuing to provide optimum care. The result: cutting-edge medicine in custom-built architecture.
