Maxvorstadt, university quarter and Kunstareal
Maxvorstadt is Munich's district 3 and the city's academic heart: along Ludwigstrasse and Schellingstrasse lie the main building of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität and the main campus of the Technical University of Munich, and at Königsplatz with the Glyptothek and the antiquities collections begins the Kunstareal with the Pinakothek galleries, the Museum Brandhorst and the Lenbachhaus. The Siegestor at the end of Ludwigstrasse marks the transition to Schwabing. Add to that the University of Music and Performing Arts and numerous galleries between Odeonsplatz and Stiglmaierplatz.
Between Türkenstrasse, Augustenstrasse and Josephsplatz, tens of thousands of students live next door to long-time residents in dense Gründerzeit quarters, joined by staff of publishing houses, law firms, galleries and university institutes as well as museum visitors. Our house call service treats them all where they happen to be: in the shared flat, the old-build apartment, the hotel or the office, without a waiting room and without trips across the city. Around Amalienstrasse and Adalbertstrasse the density of shared flats is especially high, and we often ring the bell on the fourth floor without a lift. Many international master's programmes bring patients from all over the world into the quarter.
Typical conditions in the district
On house calls in Maxvorstadt we mainly see influenza-like infections, febrile respiratory illness, bronchitis and sinusitis, gastrointestinal infections, urinary tract infections, migraine attacks and acute back pain. In the exam periods at LMU and TUM, infections, exhaustion and the need for short-notice sick notes pile up; among international visitors to the Kunstareal it is travel-related complaints. Older patients in the Schönfeldvorstadt and around Josephsplatz frequently need cardiovascular check-ups and support after hospital stays. Add bladder infections and back pain among professionals at their desks, and circulation problems of older visitors after a long museum day. In the winter months the waves of infection dominate, in summer stomach and circulation.
For students and international guests too
As a private medical service we bill under the German medical fee schedule (GOÄ), typically 150 to 300 euros depending on the effort, for statutory-insured patients as a self-pay service. Private health insurers, many international student health plans and travel insurers usually reimburse the costs in full. Sick notes, in English on request, and prescriptions are issued during the visit, and if your university requires its own form we fill it in on the spot. For professionals we issue the certificate of incapacity for work during the visit, and for students the certificate of inability to sit an exam, based on the medical findings.
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 Maxvorstadt
Our physicians reach Maxvorstadt typically in 60 to 90 minutes from the moment we accept the call, and we give you a concrete arrival window when you book. District 3 is well connected via the major axes of Ludwigstrasse, Schleissheimer Strasse and Augustenstrasse; in the evenings and at weekends the roads are usually much clearer than in rush hour. The same time window applies from Stiglmaierplatz in the west to Ludwigstrasse in the east.
Around the universities and the Kunstareal, parking is the real challenge, so we build the search for a space into the approach. In the Gründerzeit houses between Türkenstrasse and Josephsplatz the exact bell label helps us, especially for shared flats with several names on the bell; for hotel and office visits a short keyword at the front desk does the trick. On weekends with heavy visitor traffic around the Pinakothek galleries we plan in a few extra minutes.
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, in the flat, the hotel and the office, daily from 6 am to midnight. After evening events in the Kunstareal too, we are on duty until midnight.

Hours and arrival time
RAB Arztbesuche is available daily from 6 am to midnight, 365 days a year. In Maxvorstadt the typical arrival time is 60 to 90 minutes from the moment we accept the call. The LMU inner-city hospitals in the neighbouring clinic quarter and the München Klinik Schwabing are quickly reached from here; the urgent, non-life-threatening case is ours to handle at your home. Statutory-insured patients can alternatively call 116 117, the line of the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians of Bavaria (KVB), without a plannable time window.
We treat international students, visiting academics and museum guests in English, including English-language sick notes and prescriptions. In the university quarter between Ludwigstrasse and Schellingstrasse this is everyday work for our team. We prepare the GOÄ invoice so that international health insurers can process it directly.

Case profiles
Typical reasons for a house call in Maxvorstadt
Student on Schellingstrasse
A student runs a fever two days before an important exam in her shared flat on Schellingstrasse. The doctor comes the same day, examines, prescribes the appropriate therapy and issues the sick note, filling in the university's form right away. That keeps her chance at the exam date intact without her having to cross the city while ill.
Guest near Königsplatz
An international visitor to the Kunstareal falls ill with a severe gastrointestinal infection in his hotel near Königsplatz. We are in the room within about 80 minutes, stabilise him with medication and a fluid plan and issue the English-language paperwork for the travel insurer.
Senior in the Schönfeldvorstadt
A 79-year-old patient with a blood-pressure derailment and dizziness does not trust herself to cross the city. We come to the old-build flat, check blood pressure, pulse and oxygen saturation, adjust the medication and inform the family on request. We document the readings in writing for the family doctor.
Team at an office on Augustenstrasse
An employee at a publishing house on Augustenstrasse develops fever and aching limbs in the morning. The doctor examines discreetly in a meeting room, prescribes the therapy and issues the sick note immediately while the colleagues keep working next door.
