Wandsbek, the district of our Hamburg base
Wandsbek is Hamburg's most populous district with around 440,000 residents and stretches from the dense Wandsbek-Markt across Bramfeld, Farmsen-Berne, Rahlstedt and Jenfeld out to the leafy Walddörfer of Volksdorf, Sasel and Bergstedt. Our base at Ilenkruut 13 in Bramfeld sits in the middle of the district, from here every Ortsteil typically lies within 60 to 90 minutes.
The clientele is settled and diverse: established private patients in the villas of the Walddörfer and along the Alster in Poppenbüttel and Wellingsbüttel, families in Rahlstedt and Farmsen-Berne, seniors in Marienthal and Tonndorf, and international professionals around Wandsbek-Markt. Our house call service has known this mix for years and serves it without lead-in time.
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. Among older patients in Sasel, Wellingsbüttel and Volksdorf we add management of heart failure, COPD and diabetes. In the family quarters of Rahlstedt and Bramfeld febrile childhood infections dominate, especially in the evening once the Notfallpraxis Farmsen and the paediatric practices have already closed.
Discretion and short routes
Patients in Volksdorf, Sasel or by the Alster in Poppenbüttel want a doctor in the house who arrives without fuss, and that is how we work. Billing follows the German medical fee schedule (GOÄ), typically 150 to 300 euros per house call, and on request directly with the private insurer or civil-servant benefit office. For our regular Bramfeld patients the house call stays dependable: the same records, the same clinician, the same continuity at follow-up.
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 Wandsbek
From Ilenkruut 13 in Bramfeld we reach every Ortsteil of the district (Wandsbek, Farmsen-Berne, Rahlstedt, Marienthal, Tonndorf, Jenfeld, Hummelsbüttel, Poppenbüttel, Sasel, Wellingsbüttel, Volksdorf and Bergstedt) typically in 60 to 90 minutes. We drive via Ring 2, the Bramfelder Chaussee, the Wandsbeker Marktstrasse and the Saseler Chaussee, in the evenings and at weekends usually substantially faster.
Parking around Wandsbek-Markt and at the Farmsen and Rahlstedt stations is tight, but the Walddörfer of Volksdorf, Sasel and Bergstedt are relaxed. We factor it in. For the apartment blocks in Poppenbüttel and by the Alstertal shopping centre we ask for the bell number or an entrance code; for the detached houses in the Walddörfer the house number is usually enough.

Case profiles
Typical reasons for a house call in Wandsbek
Family in Rahlstedt
Two children develop simultaneous febrile respiratory infections, the mother is also under the weather. Instead of arranging three appointments at three practices, a doctor comes to the living room in Rahlstedt, examines all three in turn and provides consolidated treatment including prescriptions and sick notes, often within about 75 minutes.
Senior patient in Sasel
An 84-year-old patient with heart failure and growing mobility limitations in a house between Saseler Markt and Wellingsbüttel. A trip to the practice is too much. We visit regularly, check blood pressure, oxygen saturation and leg oedema, adjust medication and coordinate with the nursing service.
Private patient by the Alster in Poppenbüttel
A long-standing private patient calls in with a migraine attack and nausea ahead of an important appointment, with a home near the Alstertal in Poppenbüttel. We attend, treat intravenously, restore working capacity within two to three hours and bill under GOÄ directly with the insurer.
Professional near Wandsbek-Markt
A business traveller returns in the evening with fever, sore throat and hoarseness to his flat near Wandsbek-Markt, the Notfallpraxis Farmsen has already closed. We are on site within about 80 minutes, examine, rule out a bacterial focus, prescribe the appropriate therapy and issue a prescription and sick note, in English on request.
