Steglitz-Zehlendorf — Berlin's district of established private clientele
The district of Steglitz-Zehlendorf extends from Steglitz and Lankwitz in the north through Lichterfelde, Zehlendorf and Dahlem to Wannsee, Nikolassee and Schlachtensee in the south. Around 310,000 people live here — and hardly any other Berlin district has such a high share of privately insured patients, academic households, Beihilfe-entitled civil servants and established senior residents. Local medical care density is exceptionally good — and precisely because of that, our house call service does not compete with the existing family practice but supplements it when the journey to the long-standing family doctor is no longer manageable or when the consulting hours simply do not fit the situation.
Dahlem is a chapter of its own: numerous ambassadorial residences, the Free University, the Max Planck Institute and a correspondingly international academic clientele. In Zehlendorf, Nikolassee and Wannsee, villas, established family homes and a pronouncedly high share of seniors dominate. In Lichterfelde, Lankwitz and central Steglitz the structure is more fine-grained — apartment buildings, renovated old-builds, terraced houses.
Typical conditions
In Steglitz-Zehlendorf age-related care questions dominate our house calls as in no other district: hypertension, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, diabetes, COPD, early dementia, the aftermath of falls and mobility limitations. Among the families around Schlachtensee and Nikolassee we add classic family-medicine topics — fever in children, respiratory infections, migraine, gastrointestinal illness. With diplomatic families in Dahlem we often treat travel-related infections or acute concerns before important engagements.
Discretion, international clientele, settled structures
Steglitz-Zehlendorf is a district in which discretion and thoroughness count. We are used to it — particularly in Dahlem with its diplomatic and academic clientele, in Wannsee and Nikolassee with the established senior clientele. English is the standard language in many consultations; further languages are available in the team. Billing follows the German medical fee schedule (GOÄ) via our private medical accounts office, and on request directly with the private insurer, the Beihilfe office or — with diplomatic clientele — the home-country insurer.
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.

Arrival and logistics in Steglitz-Zehlendorf
From Charlottenburg we travel via the city motorway A100/A115, Hohenzollerndamm or Königin-Luise-Strasse. Steglitz and Lankwitz are reached in 25 to 35 minutes, Lichterfelde and central Zehlendorf in 30 to 40 minutes, Dahlem in 30 to 45 minutes, Nikolassee, Schlachtensee and Wannsee at the southern city edge in 45 to 55 minutes.
Parking in Dahlem, Nikolassee and Wannsee is generally relaxed — villas with their own driveways, quiet streets, plenty of green. In central Steglitz, Lichterfelde and Lankwitz we ask for the bell name, floor and any hint about a rear courtyard. With senior patients we briefly coordinate with relatives, household help or the nursing service in advance so that access is smooth.
Availability
Hours and arrival time
RAB is available daily from 6 am to midnight — 365 days a year. In Steglitz-Zehlendorf we expect 25 to 55 minutes arrival time from the moment we accept the call. Steglitz and Lankwitz in the north of the district are among the faster-reached areas from Roscherstrasse; Wannsee, Nikolassee and Schlachtensee at the southern city edge take correspondingly longer.
The specialist expertise applies throughout — including at the Wannsee. For the older clientele in the district we arrange scheduled house calls at agreed intervals on request, with fixed weekdays and time slots. English-language consultations are almost daily practice in Dahlem.

Case profiles
Typical reasons for a house call in Steglitz-Zehlendorf
Elderly patient in Zehlendorf
An 88-year-old private patient in a villa around Onkel-Tom-Strasse, with heart failure, atrial fibrillation and early dementia, lives alone with household help. Her daughter in Munich organises her care. We attend once a month on schedule, check blood pressure, INR, leg oedema and cognitive function, adjust medication and coordinate with the daughter by phone.
Diplomat in Dahlem
A diplomat at a western European embassy, residing in an ambassadorial property around Pacelliallee, calls in with high fever, chills and headache — he has a reception the following day. We attend, examine, rule out a bacterial focus, prescribe therapy and issue English-language documentation for the home-country insurer.
Family by the Schlachtensee
An academic family with three children in a single-family house around Spanische Allee. One of the children has developed high fever and abdominal pain overnight — the parents want a clear medical assessment before a journey to a practice. We attend, examine, clinically rule out acute appendicitis, advise on next steps and offer a follow-up phone consultation the next day.
Senior couple at the Wannsee
An 84-year-old private patient and his 82-year-old wife in a villa with views of the Wannsee. Both have long-standing family doctors in the city, but the trips have become increasingly tiring. We take on family-doctor care for planned occasions — influenza vaccination, hypertension follow-up, small wound care — and coordinate with their long-standing clinicians in the city.
Frequently asked questions
How quickly does a doctor arrive in Steglitz-Zehlendorf?
In Steglitz, Lankwitz and Lichterfelde we expect 25 to 40 minutes from the moment we accept the call. Central Zehlendorf and Dahlem 30 to 45 minutes. Nikolassee, Schlachtensee and Wannsee at the southern city edge 45 to 55 minutes. We give a concrete time window at the point of booking.
Do you also treat patients with diplomatic status?
Yes — that is almost daily practice in Dahlem. We observe protocol and discretion and issue all documents in the format required for the home-country insurer or embassy health scheme. English-language and multilingual consultations are a matter of course.
Can you take on regular house calls for elderly patients?
Yes. Steglitz-Zehlendorf has Berlin's oldest private clientele — and planned geriatric care on house calls is accordingly a core part of our work in the district. We agree fixed weekdays and time slots, coordinate with the nursing service and relatives and maintain a continuous record.
How does billing work?
We bill under the German medical fee schedule (GOÄ) through our private medical accounts office. For Beihilfe-entitled and private patients we issue documentation suitable for direct submission. For diplomatic clientele the invoice can be issued in English on request.
