Welcome to University Hospital Bonn

In his “Ode to Joy”, Ludwig van Beethoven, the most important son of our city, immortalized the creed of our city and far beyond in the final chorus of his Symphony No. 9. “All people become brothers” – that stands for freedom, peace, and global cooperation, all of which are values that can also be linked to Bonn.  The city is the cradle of the most successful democracy on German soil and thus also stands for the peaceful decades that Europe has experienced since the middle of the last century. It is no coincidence that the Council of Europe and the European Community – today the European Union (EU) – have made the instrumental version of the main theme “To Joy” into the anthem of Europe.

Bonn has also stood for internationality and cosmopolitanism since the Federal Government took up residence here in 1949. In the meantime, Bonn has made a name for itself as the German city of the United Nations with more than 20 UN institutions, all of which are focused on the topic of sustainability and thus on the future of our world. This became particularly clear in November 2017, when up to 20,000 participants met at the World Climate Summit at the World Conference Center in Bonn. A new facet is the strong presence of authorities dealing with cyber security, which is also a highly topical issue.

We invite you to learn about Bonn. We are present at the annual “Tage der Deutschen Einheit”, or Days of German Unity, to show you that although Bonn, with its 330,000 inhabitants, may be a small town, there’s nothing small about it. On the contrary, Bonn is the city for the world of tomorrow, because it is not only at the United Nations, but also in science and business that those topics are researched that will be important for mankind in the future. Bonn University and Bonn University Hospital are in the top positions in national rankings and there are many outstanding professors here.

By the way, the Bonn logo “Freude.Joy.Joie.Bonn.” also stands for the zest for life that is typical of the Rhineland. Experience it for yourself. Take a seat in a street café or a beer garden. Go for a stroll, a jog, or a bike ride along the Rhine. Saunter through the woods or through the large and small shopping streets. Look out for the UN Tower and the Post Tower, Godesburg Castle, and Siebengebirge hills, the gateway to the romantic Rhine. Stroll through the Wilhelmian Südstadt or the spacious Rheinaue Theme Park and the Bundesviertel, which until 1993 was the parliament and government district – in short, enjoy how beautiful it is in Bonn, how livable and cheerful this city can be, how open-minded and colorful.

Sincerely,

Ashok Sridharan
Mayor

What should you pack?

Attention: Please bring sturdy, well-fitting and non-slip shoes (no slippers) and suitable clothing to avoid falls in unknown surroundings!

  • Toiletries
  • Nightwear
  • Robe and slippers
  • Comfortable clothing, e.g. sweatshirt, sweatpants, and tennis shoes

To pass the time, bring books, magazines, MP3 players, games, stationery, etc. (Please also read the section “Valuables”.)
Before a planned operation, we ask you to discuss your medication intake with your attending doctor.

Animals may not enter the hospital for hygienic reasons. This also applies to potted plants because potting soil contains bacteria. Cut flowers are allowed in normal wards, but not in intensive care and isolation wards.

A University hospital must always be prepared for the unpredictable. Emergencies have absolute priority with us. This can sometimes result in longer waiting times for patients who have been summoned. We ask for your understanding.

Please note that the treatment in the emergency center is not carried out according to the order of arrival, but after an initial assessment based on the severity of the clinical picture and the availability of the respective specialist.

Please do not bring any valuables with you! The hospital is not liable for losses. Larger sums of money and valuables can be kept for a longer period of time at the cash desk on the ground floor of the tower building of the Administration building, building 347. Please do not leave any valuables or cash in the drawer of your bedside cabinet.

The ward physician is responsible for your treatment. Before therapy is initiated, a doctor from the ward will conduct a preliminary discussion with you, the so-called anamnesis. The aim of the interview is to identify the background to your illness and to classify your current complaints. Report as openly as possible about the development of your illness: How and when did your complaints start? Do you feel pain? If so, what kind of pain is it? Have similar illnesses occurred in your family, group of friends, or at your workplace? Is there something that is particularly bothering you? Have any examinations been carried out before your admission? If this is the case, inform the doctor during the preliminary consultation and show any relevant documentation if necessary. This also applies to medication you have brought with you. It is in your best interest that medicines are not to be taken without first consulting the ward physician. Incompatibilities with the remedies prescribed by the hospital physician could result.

Please take the opportunity to ask questions: What does my illness mean? What can I contribute to my recovery? How will you treat my illness? Are there alternatives to these treatments? How long am I expected to stay in the hospital, and what treatments will be necessary afterwards? You may want to write down your questions before the interview.

The ward physicians will discuss the individual steps of your therapy with the medical director of the department and his senior physicians. Please have confidence in your doctors and the nursing staff.

It is the duty of our doctors to inform you about the significance, scope, and risks of the treatment. Medical terms are often used in the routine of everyday hospital life. Please ask if anything is unclear. You must give your consent to operations and diagnostic procedures. In a clarification discussion, the doctors treating you will explain the purpose, risks, and possible complications. This also happens if you do not give your consent to the examination.

If you are not proficient in the German language, we recommend that you are accompanied by an interpreter who will provide you with a correct translation of the clarification and preliminary discussion.

Visits to the intensive care and recovery wards are arranged differently. Please contact the ward team for details. All other wards can be visited at the usual times of day. Please be considerate of your fellow patients and take care of yourself.

The daily routine in a hospital is often determined by diagnostics and therapy. Sometimes your usual daily routine will change. We ask for your understanding if this disturbs you.
In order to plan your individual care, we are dependent on your assistance. Please inform us about your needs and habits so that we can provide you with the best possible care.
