Altstadt-Lehel, the historic centre of Munich
Altstadt-Lehel is Munich's district 1 and covers the entire historic old town inside the Altstadtring, from Marienplatz with the Neues Rathaus across the Viktualienmarkt, the Isartor and the Platzl to the Residenz with its Hofgarten, plus the quiet Lehel between the ring road, the Isar and the southern edge of the Englischer Garten with the Eisbach wave. Few places in Germany pack as many sights, law firms, shops and one of Munich's highest hotel densities into so few square kilometres. That includes the Praterinsel island in the Isar on the edge of the Lehel.
The clientele of our house call service is correspondingly mixed: international hotel guests around Marienplatz, the Platzl and Maximilianstrasse, business travellers and professionals in the city-centre offices, and the residents of the Lehel, whose old-build quarters around St. Anna rank among the most sought-after residential areas in the city. We treat at home, in the hotel room and at the office, discreetly, without a waiting room and without you having to cross the pedestrian zone while ill. Even visitors in town for just a weekend get medical help this way, without the detour through an unfamiliar emergency room.
Typical conditions in the district
On house calls in Altstadt-Lehel we mainly treat influenza-like infections, febrile respiratory illness, bronchitis and sinusitis, gastrointestinal infections, urinary tract infections, migraine attacks, acute back pain and blood-pressure derailments. Among hotel guests the picture is dominated by travel-related infections, gastrointestinal complaints and acute pain before important appointments, often combined with the request for an English-language sick note. In the Lehel we add cardiovascular check-ups, dizziness work-ups and care after a hospital stay for older patients. Cultural travellers visiting the museums on Prinzregentenstrasse in the Lehel also call us when stomach or circulation act up en route.
Discretion for the city-centre hotels
Anyone who falls ill in a hotel between Marienplatz, the Platzl and Maximilianstrasse wants medical help without any fuss, and that is exactly how we work: the doctor comes discreetly straight to the room, and we agree the arrival with reception in advance. Billing follows the German medical fee schedule (GOÄ), typically 150 to 300 euros depending on the effort; private health insurers and travel insurers usually reimburse the costs in full. Prescription and sick note, in English on request, are issued on the spot. On request the doctor also comes late in the evening; the service runs daily until midnight.
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 Altstadt-Lehel
Our physicians reach Altstadt-Lehel typically in 60 to 90 minutes from the moment we accept the call, and we give you a concrete arrival window when you book. Orientation in district 1 is simple: the Altstadtring encloses the historic centre, and the Lehel adjoins it to the north-east between the ring road, the Isar and the Englischer Garten. In the evenings and at weekends the city-centre streets are usually much clearer than in rush hour. The time window applies everywhere, from the old-town quarters to the last residential street of the Lehel.
The pedestrian zone between Marienplatz and Kaufingerstrasse is closed to cars, many old-town lanes are one-way and parking is scarce. We know this and factor it into the approach. For hotel visits we use the hotel's forecourt and agree access with reception; in the residential streets of the Lehel and around the Hofgarten we ask for the exact bell label and, if needed, a hint about the entrance.
For acute emergencies with immediate danger to life, for instance a suspected heart attack or stroke, the ambulance service on 112 is always the right route. Our service handles urgent but non-life-threatening care, at home, in the hotel and at the office, daily from 6 am to midnight.
Availability
Hours and arrival time
RAB Arztbesuche is available daily from 6 am to midnight, 365 days a year. In Altstadt-Lehel the typical arrival time is 60 to 90 minutes from the moment we accept the call. With the LMU inner-city clinics and the Klinikum rechts der Isar, two major hospital sites lie in the immediate vicinity of the district; for urgent but non-life-threatening cases we are the alternative to waiting in an emergency room.
For international guests the service is well rehearsed: several physicians in the team consult fluently in English and issue English-language sick notes and prescriptions on the spot. In the hotels between Marienplatz, the Platzl and the Lehel this is requested almost daily, and we prepare the receipts for travel insurers accordingly. On request we arrange a follow-up check for the next day right during the visit.

Case profiles
Typical reasons for a house call in Altstadt-Lehel
Hotel guest at Marienplatz
A business traveller returns to her hotel near Marienplatz from a meeting with fever, sore throat and aching limbs. We are in the room within about 75 minutes, examine thoroughly, prescribe the appropriate therapy and issue a prescription and an English-language sick note on the spot.
Family in the Lehel
Two children with febrile respiratory infections in an old-build flat near St. Anna, the parents under the weather themselves. Instead of arranging several appointments, a doctor comes to the living room, examines everyone in turn and provides coordinated treatment including prescriptions and sick notes.
Senior near the Hofgarten
An 84-year-old patient with heart failure and new-onset dizziness; the trip to a practice is too strenuous for him. We come to the flat, check blood pressure, pulse and oxygen saturation, adjust the medication and discuss the next steps with the family.
Acute infection at the office
An employee at a city-centre law firm develops fever and a severe headache in the morning. The doctor comes straight to the office, examines discreetly in a meeting room, prescribes the therapy and issues the sick note immediately.
