History
At the same time as the Prussian founding of the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn in 1818, the first chairs and clinics were established for internal medicine, surgery and obstetrics, among others. Due to the increased need for space, these clinics later moved to new buildings on Theaterstraße in the area of today's Beethovenhalle during the German Empire. After World War II, the University Hospital Bonn moved to a large area on the Venusberg in the middle of the Kotten Forest, and now only the Forensic Medicine Institute, the Diamorphine Outpatient Clinic, the Preclinical Institutes and the Dental Clinic of the UKB remain in the city outside the Venusberg campus. Since 2001, Bonn University Hospital has been independent with its own supervisory board. It is managed by a five-member board of directors. Prof. Dr. med. Dr. h.c. mult.Structure
