Welcome to the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf Milestones International Patients in Focus Welcome to the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf Milestones Front page: UKE Main Entrance Words of welcome It is with great pleasure that I introduce the core areas of medical treat- ments of the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE). Originally founded in 1889 on spacious park grounds, the UKE opened its ultramodern main building in January 2009 combining tradition with state-of-the-art technology. Excellent patient care is central to our work at the UKE. Medical Director We aim to help our patients the very best by offering medical care of Prof. Dr. med. Burkhard Göke the highest quality and by providing services tailored to their physical, emotional, familial and social needs. To find solutions to modern medical challenges, the UKE implements a multi-faceted and interdis- ciplinary approach to patient care, teaching and research. For many patients and their families, the fact of being confronted with a serious illness calls every thing into question. In this situation, the UKE offers the most effective treatments provided by internationally renowned experts as well as inpatient and outpatient care in an innovative facility. We have one of the highest numbers of newly proven procedures acknowled ged in Germany, allowing the most cut- ting-edge medical knowledge to be applied at our medical depart- ments. Fundamental research, carried out in our laboratories, is the cornerstone of innovation, patient care and teaching. We would like to use this brochure to guide you through our medical center and hope you will find it most useful and informative. I thank you for your interest and wish you a vibrantly happy and healthy life!

  • Cannes Hamburg
    MIPIM® | Cannes 10th to 13th March 2015 ELBE&FLUT / Thomas Hampel Hamburg The booming city luring international investors Ideal for property investment, Hamburg has for years been a favourite of international in- vestors. With eye-catching deals and transaction volumes totalling €3.82 billion, Germany’s northern metropolis pulled away from competitors in 2014 by attracting twice as many buy- ers as the previous year. At this year’s MIPIM, to be held from 10–13 March in Cannes, the Hanseatic city will showcase its potential, one that offers major development opportunities for the years ahead. Hamburg – An economic magnet With one of Europe’s most dynamic econo- mies, the city of Hamburg lies on the lower reaches of the river Elbe on the North German Plain, roughly 100 kilometres from the North Sea. Home to 1.81 million people and cover- ing an area of 755 km2, Hamburg is Germany’s second city after Berlin. More than 5 million people live and work in the Hamburg metro- politan region. As a city-state (one of the 16 Länder of the Federal Republic) and municipali- ty, Hamburg offers short decision-making chan- nels, making for optimum conditions both for politics that remains close to the people and for establishing businesses. Christian Spahrbier Trade centre The world is at home in Hamburg. With almost 100 consulates, the economic centre of Germany’s north has the third larg- est concentration of consulates worldwide. The city cultivates these manifold links with other international regions and towns through various networks and partnership programmes. With the North Sea and the Baltic Sea in easy reach, and a tradition in maritime activities, the port of Hamburg is a crucial growth factor.

  • A Day in Hamburg
    A Day In Hamburg 1) Why should Hamburg, Germany be visited? Hamburg is not the top of the list for must- see places like London, Paris or Munich and that is part of its charm. It is the second largest city in Germany, the seventh largest in Europe, but you don´t really feel it. Located on the water and dotted with parks and wooded areas; Hamburg is a city that welcomes you right away. It is one of the most beautiful cities in Germany! Very metropolitan and friendly, but also full of history and beauty. Hamburg is a harbour city, with so many gorgeous water canals, the Alster Lake and the Elbe River! 2) Must-see/Do-not-miss attractions a. Ladies Day: A day trip to one of the many little 'doll house' towns that dot the countryside would be fun for Ladies' Day. b. With spouse or partner: • Get on a bike. There are so many fabulous bike paths, including the North Sea Bike Route, that lead you – even if you are an inexperienced rider – around the city. The Deutsche Bahn has bike rental stands at most of the tourist attractions. You can rent for as little as15 minutes or for multiple hours using your bank card. • Take in a soccer game. Both the HSV and St. Pauli draw in enthusiastic crowds for every game. c. Family day: • Miniatur Wunderland, the largest miniature train museum in the world. http://www.miniatur-wunderland.de • Hagenbecks Tierpark, the only family-run private zoo still in existence in Europe. www.hagenbeck.de • So many fantastic playgrounds and gardens, ready for picnics and BBQ's! Beach along the Elbe is great with kids too.
