Schwabing-West, Gründerzeit quarter with a market-square feel
Schwabing-West is Munich's district 4 and one of the city's best-loved old-build quarters: unbroken Gründerzeit facades around Hohenzollernplatz and Kurfürstenplatz, the Elisabethmarkt at Elisabethplatz as the neighbourhood's market square, Hohenzollernstrasse with its shops and cafés, the Luitpoldpark in the north and the younger Ackermannbogen quarter in the west. People who move here often stay for decades. The Elisabethmarkt has supplied the neighbourhood for over 100 years, and Schwabing-West is considered one of the most family-friendly quarters in the city.
Young families with children live next door to student flat-shares and long-time residents, many of them in old buildings without a lift. That is exactly what the house call is made for: the doctor comes to the flat instead of feverish children, weakened elderly people or patients fresh out of hospital travelling across the city. We also treat in the home office and at the office, daily from 6 am to midnight. From the sledging hill in the Luitpoldpark to the playgrounds at the Ackermannbogen, everyday life here is built on short distances, and the way to the doctor should be just as short.
Typical conditions in the district
On house calls in Schwabing-West we treat febrile infections in children and adults every day, along with respiratory illness, bronchitis, gastrointestinal infections, urinary tract infections, migraine attacks, lumbago and blood-pressure derailments. Among the district's many families several household members are often ill at once, and we examine them one after another in a single appointment. For older patients we add cardiovascular check-ups, dizziness work-ups and care after hospital stays. In the nursery and school winters, waves of infection roll through the neighbourhood, and we then often care for several households in the same street. Add bladder infections, migraine and back pain between home office and commuting.
Walk-up buildings, sick children, packed days
A fourth floor without a lift is barely manageable with a fever, and with two sick children every waiting room becomes an ordeal. That is why the doctor comes to you: daily from 6 am to midnight, typically within 60 to 90 minutes. 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 in full, and statutory-insured patients receive the same service as self-payers. You submit the itemised invoice to your private insurer or benefit office.
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 Schwabing-West
Our physicians reach Schwabing-West typically in 60 to 90 minutes from the moment we accept the call, and we give you a concrete arrival window when you book. The district sits compactly between Leopoldstrasse and Schleissheimer Strasse and is easy to reach from all directions via Hohenzollernstrasse and the Mittlerer Ring to the north. The same time window applies from Kurfürstenplatz in the south to the Luitpoldpark in the north.
In the dense residential streets between Hohenzollernplatz and Elisabethplatz, parking is the real challenge, so we build the search for a space into the approach. The exact bell label helps, as does a short hint about the courtyard for rear buildings, and for families the information how many patients we should examine. If the sick child happens to be asleep, on request we do not ring the bell but call two minutes before arrival.
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 home office and the office, daily from 6 am to midnight. That also applies when several family members are ill at the same time.

Case profiles
Typical reasons for a house call in Schwabing-West
Feverish child at Hohenzollernplatz
A four-year-old has been running a high fever since the afternoon and the paediatric practice is closed. The doctor comes to the flat in the evening, examines thoroughly, rules out warning signs, prescribes the appropriate therapy and discusses with the parents what to watch for during the night. The parents are spared the night-time drive to the hospital, which of course remains the right place if warning signs appear.
Flat-share near Kurfürstenplatz
A student lies in his flat-share near Kurfürstenplatz with a high fever and aching limbs, and his flatmates are worried. The doctor comes the same day, examines, prescribes the therapy and issues the sick note and prescription right there in the flat. On request the doctor fills in the university's form right away.
Senior at the Luitpoldpark
An 81-year-old patient with heart failure lives on the third floor without a lift near the Luitpoldpark. We come regularly for check-ups, measure blood pressure, pulse and oxygen saturation, adjust the medication and coordinate with the family and the nursing service. That spares her the arduous trip down three floors and across the city.
Lumbago in the home office
A professional at the Ackermannbogen can barely straighten up after acute lumbago in the home office. The doctor comes to the flat, examines, treats the acute pain, prescribes the further therapy and issues the sick note immediately. On request we arrange the follow-up check right away, at home again.
