Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin

Founded in 1710 by King Frederick I of Prussia as a hospital during the plague outbreak, Charité became a medical school in 1810 and was integrated with Humboldt University. Today operates as a joint medical school of Humboldt University Berlin and Free University Berlin since 2003. Approximately 8,000 medical/dental students. Approximately 18,000 hospital staff serving ~700,000 patients/year — making Charité Europe's largest university hospital. **More than half of all German Nobel laureates in physiology/medicine were affiliated with Charité** — including Robert Koch (Medicine 1905, tuberculosis), Paul Ehrlich (Medicine 1908, chemotherapy founder), Emil Behring (Medicine 1901, diphtheria), Rudolf Virchow (founder of modern pathology). 🕯️ HONEST CONTEXT: Charité doctors were complicit in Nazi medical experiments on concentration camp prisoners and in the T4 'euthanasia' programme that murdered ~70,000 disabled Germans. The institution has published extensive historical research on this complicity and operates the GeDenkOrt Charité memorial. ⚠️ Added by curator (collector omission).
