Private Doctor Home Visit Bergedorf
The private medical home-visit service in Bergedorf is an acute-care service by RAB Arztbesuche that brings licensed physicians into the Hamburg district of Bergedorf within 60 to 90 minutes, daily from 6 am to midnight.
Bergedorf is by far Hamburg's greenest borough, from the historic core around Bergedorf Palace and the high-rise estates of Lohbrügge out to the wide Vier- und Marschlande. Our private medical house call service comes to your home, whether in Neuallermöhe, Curslack or Kirchwerder. Typical arrival time: 60 to 90 minutes.

Bergedorf, Hamburg's green south-east
Bergedorf is the south-easternmost of Hamburg's seven boroughs and the most sparsely populated: around 130,000 people live across some 155 square kilometres, from the densely built core around Bergedorf Palace and the railway station through Lohbrügge out to the wide Vier- und Marschlande. Our house call service covers this entire area and reaches you typically within 60 to 90 minutes.
The population is as varied as the borough itself: young families in the new-build quarters of Neuallermöhe, long-established Hamburg residents in the terraced houses of Lohbrügge, market gardeners and farmers in Curslack, Neuengamme and Kirchwerder, plus commuters with a short S-Bahn link into central Hamburg. For all of them the principle is the same: we come to your home, rather than you driving across the borough to a practice with a fever.
Typical conditions in the district
On house calls we routinely see influenza-like illness, febrile respiratory infections, bronchitis and sinusitis, gastrointestinal complaints, urinary tract infections, migraine attacks, back pain and blood-pressure crises. In the family-heavy quarters of Neuallermöhe and Lohbrügge we add febrile childhood infections, while in the rural Marschlande we manage heart failure, COPD and diabetes among older patients who are reluctant to travel the long distance to the nearest practice.
Long distances, short arrival
In the Vier- und Marschlande in particular, farms and homes often lie kilometres from the nearest practice, and that is exactly where a house call is the obvious answer. We drive to Curslack, Neuengamme, Altengamme and Kirchwerder as reliably as into the Bergedorf core. Billing follows the German medical fee schedule (GOÄ) through our private medical accounts office, and on request directly with the private insurer or civil-servant benefit office, a typical bill falls in the range of 150 to 300 euros.
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 Bergedorf
Bergedorf lies in Hamburg's south-east, and our team drives via the B5, the A25 and Bergedorf station into every Ortsteil. We reach the densely built core around Bergedorf Palace, Lohbrügge and Neuallermöhe typically within 60 to 90 minutes; the outlying Marschlande can sit at the upper end of that window.
In Neuallermöhe and Lohbrügge we ask for the bell number or an entrance code for apartment buildings so that access goes smoothly. In the Marschlande a note on the farm entrance and, where available, the exact house number along the long dyke roads such as Kirchwerder Hausdeich or Neuengammer Hausdeich helps us find you. Parking is relaxed across the whole borough.
Availability
Hours and arrival time
RAB is available daily from 6 am to midnight, 365 days a year. In Bergedorf the typical arrival time is 60 to 90 minutes from the moment we accept the call, often faster in the evenings and at weekends when the B5 and A25 are clear.
Medical care in the borough centres on the Bethesda Krankenhaus Bergedorf and local practices in the core, but from the Marschlande the journey there is long. Our house call service closes that gap and brings a licensed physician directly to your home.

Case profiles
Typical reasons for a house call in Bergedorf
Family in Neuallermöhe
Two children develop simultaneous febrile respiratory infections in a flat by the canals of Neuallermöhe, and the mother is under the weather too. Instead of arranging three appointments at three practices, a doctor comes to the living room, examines all three in turn, and provides consolidated treatment including prescriptions and sick notes.
Farmer in Kirchwerder
A 68-year-old market gardener on the Kirchwerder Hausdeich calls in with an acute blood-pressure crisis and dizziness, and a trip to the nearest practice is barely feasible in the middle of harvest season. We are at the farm within about 85 minutes, measure, treat, adjust medication and coordinate the follow-up with the GP.
Senior patient in Lohbrügge
An 82-year-old patient with heart failure and limited mobility in a terraced house on the Boberger Hang. A trip to the practice in winter is too much. We visit regularly, check blood pressure, oxygen saturation and leg oedema, adjust medication and coordinate with the nursing service.
Commuter in the Bergedorf core
A business traveller returns from the office to his flat near Bergedorf Palace with fever, sore throat and hoarseness, with an important appointment the next morning. We come in the evening, examine, rule out a bacterial focus, prescribe the appropriate therapy and issue a prescription and sick note on site.
