University Hospital Freiburg

Freibung, Germany

The University Hospital Freiburg is famous for its rich history and is one of the oldest and most prestigious medical facilities in Germany (one of the three best medical institutions in the country). The hospital was based on the Faculty of Medicine of the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg, which celebrated its 550th anniversary in 2007. It should be noted that the hospital is proud of its world-renowned specialists, many of whom during their work here have become Nobel laureates.

The medical facility represents all fields of modern medicine. It consists of 42 departments, 11 institutes and 10 interdisciplinary centers. The highly qualified doctors of the hospital deal with the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with both common and rare diseases. All departments and institutes of the hospital take an active part in fundamental researches of international scale, due to which patients have access to the very latest achievements of medicine, advanced diagnostic methods, state-of-the-art medical equipment and proven effective methods of therapy.

The hospital has a variety of medical achievements, for example, the world's first TIPS procedure, the first implantation of the Jarvik-2000 artificial heart in Europe, the first robotic-assisted surgery on the brain, and the first combined cardiopulmonary transplantation in the land of Baden-Württemberg. In 2004, the University Hospital Freiburg became the first German hospital, which performed kidney transplantation in the incompatibility of blood groups. At the moment, the hospital belongs to medical centers with the greatest experience in performing such an operation.

An interdisciplinary approach to treatment, highly qualified staff, as well as individual patient care and a pleasant environment are key to the hospital’s success.

Location

Freiburg is a city in the southwest of Germany in the federal state of Baden-Württemberg. The city is located on the edge of the legendary "Black Forest", therefore it is famous for the cleanest mountain air and picturesque nature. The tiled roofs of Freiburg, its cobbled streets and the houses drowning in the greenery of the trees leave a mark on the heart of every guest of the city.

The main attractions of the city include Muenster, which is the largest and oldest cathedral of Freiburg. The cathedral was built in the XII century and is one of the most beautiful sacred buildings in Europe. The height of its tower is 116 meters. Also popular among tourists is the St. Martin’s Gothic church, built by the Franciscans in the XIII century.

In the center of Freiburg on the pedestal rises the rider, whose gaze is directed towards the southern mountains, concealing inexhaustible supplies of silver. It is a monument to the founder of the city, Duke Zähringen, who did much for the development of Freiburg. Also, all the guests of the city are attracted by the building of the Town Hall, constructed in the middle of the XVI century. It was completely destroyed during the Second World War and was restored only in 1952. Opposite the Town Hall one can see a monument to the monk Berthold Schwarz, who discovered gunpowder.

Special attention should be paid to the University of Freiburg, which enjoys great popularity both in Germany and far beyond its borders. It is considered very prestigious to get education here, and applicants from all over the world come here.
