Founded in 1710 as a quarantine facility to combat the plague, it was named “Charité” (French for “charity”) by King Frederick William I of Prussia in 1727. In 2003, it was integrated into a comprehensive medical university affiliated with Humboldt University of Berlin and the Free University of Berlin, now boasting four campuses covering all areas of modern medicine.
Charité is renowned for its research, with a research budget of €277 million in 2024. It participates in 30 special research projects funded by German research foundations and focuses on cutting-edge areas such as translational medicine through the Berlin Institute of Health. Medical giants such as Robert Koch and Rudolf Virchow have emerged from its ranks, and more than half of Germany’s Nobel laureates in Physiology or Medicine have worked here.
In clinical practice, the hospital treated over 820,000 outpatients and 143,000 inpatients in 2024, boasting more than 100 clinical departments. It has been consistently ranked as “Germany’s Best Hospital” for many years and has ranked 8th in Newsweek’s “World’s Smartest Hospitals” ranking for two consecutive years, making it the only hospital in Europe to enter the top ten.
As one of Berlin’s largest employers, it employs 24,000 people from 113 countries. Today, guided by the principle of “rethinking health,” Charité integrates teaching, research, and clinical practice.
