Kollwitzplatz — family Prenzlauer Berg in restored period buildings

Kollwitzplatz with the Kaethe Kollwitz statue in the middle has long been the epitome of restored Prenzlauer Berg: Gruenderzeit period buildings with stucco and bay windows, large apartments, organic bakeries, playgrounds, Thursday and Saturday markets. Around Kollwitzstrasse, Woerther Strasse, Knaackstrasse and Husemannstrasse the concentration of well-educated young families with private insurance is unusually high.

At the same time, legacy apartments — for example along Rykestrasse and Belforter Strasse — are home to many older residents who have lived here for decades. Both groups benefit from the specialist house call: families with paediatric fevers and respiratory infections, older residents with hypertension, vertigo and chronic conditions.

Common reasons at Kollwitzplatz

Paediatric respiratory infections, middle-ear infections, gastrointestinal infections, fever, acute asthma exacerbations, migraine in professionals, burnout-like exhaustion and blood-pressure spikes in older residents are common. On medical indication we administer B12 cycles and restorative drips on site.

Restored period buildings and family logistics

Most period buildings at Kollwitzplatz are extensively restored, often with lifts. For front building / side wing / courtyard we clarify by phone. Billing follows the German GOÄ scale through our Privatärztliche Verrechnungsstelle.

Route from Charlottenburg to Kollwitzplatz

From Roscherstrasse 3 we take the Tiergarten Tunnel, Invalidenstrasse and Schoenhauser Allee. Arrival typically 20 to 30 minutes, evenings and weekends often 18 to 22.

Parking in the quarter around Kollwitzstrasse and Knaackstrasse is at times tight — we factor this in and often use short-stay spots on Sredzkistrasse or Husemannstrasse.

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.
