Friedenau — the quiet writers' quarter

For decades Friedenau has remained a quiet, culturally minded neighbourhood. Around Bundesplatz, Friedrich-Wilhelm-Platz and Rheinstrasse live above-average numbers of writers, editors, publishers, freelance journalists and university lecturers. Pre-war buildings are carefully restored, streets are quieter than in neighbouring districts.

Our patients in Friedenau are often 50+, freelance, culturally active and privately insured. Add to this families that have moved in over the past few years from Schoeneberg or Wilmersdorf, plus older residents in flats they have occupied for decades.

Common reasons in Friedenau

Migraine, back pain, hypertension, respiratory infections, sleep disorders and stress-related complaints are common in this often highly focused, hard-working clientele. Add classical acute complaints such as gastrointestinal infections, middle-ear infections and feverish illnesses.

Pre-war buildings in Friedenau

Many Friedenau pre-war buildings have multiple courtyards, narrow staircases and partly no lift. We are used to this and plan extra time for access. When booking we briefly ask for front/rear building, floor and lift. Billing follows the German GOÄ scale through our Privatärztliche Verrechnungsstelle.

Route from Charlottenburg to Friedenau

From Roscherstrasse 3 we drive directly down Bundesallee — the quickest route to Friedenau. Typical arrival 15 to 25 minutes, evenings and weekends often 12 to 15 minutes. Addresses around Bundesplatz are particularly close.

Parking in Friedenau is tight during the day, easier in evenings and at night. For dense streets such as Stierstrasse or Rheinstrasse we factor in extra time for parking. When booking we ask for the exact address and nameplate.

Emergency? Dial the emergency number

If unconscious, with severe chest pain, breathlessness or heavy bleeding, dial 112 immediately. Our service complements the emergency services — it does not replace them.

Case profiles

Typical scenarios

Migraine attack at the publisher's

A 52-year-old publisher develops a severe migraine attack with nausea on Sunday evening. We come, administer targeted parenteral medication, calm the sensory-overload state and avoid an emergency-department trip.

Writer with disc problem

An author complains of acute back pain with radiation after long sitting. We examine neurologically, administer a pain injection and advise on follow-up.

Family with feverish child

A child has a high fever at the weekend. Parents work freelance and cannot manage waiting-room time. We come, examine and advise on re-presentation.

Sleep disorder with exhaustion

A 48-year-old journalist has suffered from sleep disorders and exhaustion for weeks. We examine, rule out organic causes, advise on sleep hygiene and refer to specialist colleagues if needed.
