Schwanthalerhöhe, the dense Westend above the Theresienwiese
Schwanthalerhöhe is city district 8 of Munich, the smallest by area and at the same time the most densely populated district of the city. The Westend is a rooted quarter of Gründerzeit blocks and international neighbourhoods around Gollierplatz. On the Theresienhöhe, the former trade-fair grounds, a new residential quarter grew after the fair moved to Riem in 1998; today it is also home to the Deutsches Museum's transport museum, the Verkehrszentrum. Our house call service reaches the whole district typically in 60 to 90 minutes.
High above the Theresienwiese stand the Bavaria statue and the Ruhmeshalle, and once a year the Oktoberfest puts the neighbourhood at the centre of the city. In everyday life Schwanthalerhöhe is a young, urban residential quarter: old-build flats in the Westend, new buildings and serviced apartments on the Theresienhöhe, with offices, cafés and small businesses in between. We come to every residential and working location in the district, discreetly and without a waiting room. Munich's most compact district is easy for our physicians to serve: short distances, clear addresses, quick handovers.
Typical conditions in the district
On house calls in Schwanthalerhöhe we routinely see influenza-like illness, febrile respiratory infections, bronchitis and sinusitis, gastrointestinal infections, urinary tract infections, migraine attacks, acute back pain and blood-pressure crises. In the dense old-build stock of the Westend, infections spread quickly through buildings and nurseries. At Oktoberfest time in September and October, requests rise noticeably: gastrointestinal complaints, circulation problems and heavy colds among guests staying in apartments and hotels around the Theresienwiese. Many of these guests need, besides treatment, a certificate for their employer, airline or travel insurer, which we issue directly on site.
Discreet in the Westend and on the Theresienhöhe
Anyone who falls ill in an apartment on the Theresienhöhe, an old-build flat at Gollierplatz or a hotel near the Theresienwiese wants a doctor who arrives unobtrusively and reliably, and that is how we work. 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 cost in full, and prescription and sick note are issued on site, in English on request. Self-payers receive a clear invoice listing every GOÄ item.
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 Schwanthalerhöhe
Our physicians reach Schwanthalerhöhe via Landsberger Strasse and the Mittlerer Ring at Trappentreustrasse. The Westend, the Theresienhöhe and the residential streets around Gollierplatz are typically within 60 to 90 minutes of the moment we accept the call, often faster in the evenings and at weekends.
Parking in the densely built Westend is tight, somewhat more relaxed in the newer quarters on the Theresienhöhe. We factor it in. It helps if you give us the exact address, the floor and the name on the bell when you call, and for serviced apartments also the access code or the reception desk.
During the Oktoberfest in September and October, some streets around the Theresienwiese are closed; we actively plan for that on visits in the district. For acute emergencies with immediate danger to life the ambulance service on 112 is always the right route; our service handles urgent but non-life-threatening care.
Availability
Hours and arrival time
RAB Arztbesuche is available daily from 6 am to midnight, 365 days a year. In Schwanthalerhöhe the typical arrival time is 60 to 90 minutes from the moment we accept the call, and we give you a concrete arrival window when you book. We also cover district 8 reliably on Sundays, on public holidays and during the Oktoberfest. Even late in the evening, when the practices in the Westend have closed, we take bookings until midnight.
The out-of-hours service of the Bavarian Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (KVB) is reachable on 116 117 and is the right route for statutorily insured patients who can wait for a referral. Our private house call service is the plannable alternative: a fixed time frame, treatment in your flat, office or hotel, in English on request.

Case profiles
Typical reasons for a house call in Schwanthalerhöhe
Oktoberfest guest in an apartment on the Theresienhöhe
A visiting guest wakes up after an evening in the festival tents with a severe gastrointestinal infection and circulation problems; the journey home is in jeopardy. The doctor comes to the serviced apartment, examines, stabilises with medication and electrolytes and issues a certificate for the postponed return trip.
Family in a Westend old build
Two children of a family at Gollierplatz run fevers in quick succession, and the parents cannot make it to the paediatric practice in time. The doctor comes to the old-build flat, examines both in turn, explains the treatment and issues prescriptions and nursery certificates on the spot.
Blood-pressure crisis after work
An employee from an office on the Theresienhöhe measures 200 over 110 at home in the evening and develops headache and restlessness. The doctor comes to the flat, brings the blood pressure down under control, checks for warning signs and discusses the further work-up with the family doctor. Admission is not needed that evening, and the patient stays at home.
Urinary tract infection in the home office
A young woman in the Westend works from home with burning on urination and lower abdominal pain; she has no energy for a practice visit. The doctor examines her in the flat, tests the urine, prescribes the appropriate therapy and bills transparently under GOÄ between 150 and 300 euros.
