Charité – Campus Benjamin Franklin

Following the division of Berlin, Freie Universität Berlin was founded in the western part of the city in 1948. Steglitz Hospital was subsequently built in the south of Berlin for its Faculty of Medicine, bringing together numerous clinical departments, institutes and lecture theatres. The hospital, later renamed Benjamin Franklin University Hospital, merged with Charité in 2003. Today, Campus Benjamin Franklin is one of the sites of Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin.

The medical services cover a wide range of medical and surgical specialties. The campus is also home to departments including neurology, psychiatry and geriatric medicine.

Advanced Medicine

The Department of Gastroenterology, Infectious Diseases and Rheumatology and the Department of General and Visceral Surgery work closely together in treating disorders of the digestive system. Their specialist areas include inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, as well as tumours of the gastrointestinal tract. Depending on the clinical findings, surgical treatment may also involve minimally invasive and robot-assisted procedures.

The Department of Cardiology, Angiology and Intensive Care Medicine at the German Heart Center of the Charité (DHZC) treats conditions including cardiac arrhythmias, valvular heart disease and heart failure. The independent Department of Vascular Surgery, whose largest site is at Campus Benjamin Franklin, treats diseases of the aorta, carotid arteries and peripheral blood vessels using open surgery and endovascular procedures performed through the blood vessels.

The Department of Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery focuses on injuries and disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Its specialist areas include spinal, shoulder and elbow surgery, hip and knee replacement, and the care of severely injured patients. The spine centre at the site is certified by the German Spine Society (DWG) as a maximum-care spine centre.

Blood disorders and cancers in adults are treated by the Department of Haematology, Oncology and Tumour Immunology, using approaches including immunotherapies and cellular therapies. BerlinProtonen, a specialised ophthalmology and radiotherapy service, provides proton therapy for ocular tumours. Treatment decisions and preparation take place at the Department of Ophthalmology at Campus Benjamin Franklin; radiotherapy is delivered by Charité in cooperation with Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin using its proton accelerator in Berlin-Wannsee.
