The plan to build a second medical faculty in Lower Saxony next to the University of Göttingen dates back to 1961. The founding rector of the Hannover Medical School was the Göttingen internist Rudolf Schoen (1961 to 1967). The first elected rector was the internist Fritz Hartmann . The Science Council recommended that seven new medical teaching facilities be set up in Germany.

These start-ups should not only relieve the existing facilities, but also be used to implement reform ideas in the training of new doctors. Following this idea, the organizational structure already deviates from that of a classic university and is rather based on the departmental structure of American universities. The departments were assigned to centers, which in turn are grouped into four sections (preclinical subjects, large clinical subjects, small clinical subjects, clinical-theoretical subjects).

As an academic and clinical institution, the motto In necessariis unitas, in dubiis libertas, in omnibus caritas was chosen, with which ideals and objectives should be outlined as an obligation and task. The words unitas libertas caritas can therefore also be found in the university's academic logo, on the rector's chain of office and in the seal. Like the high relief located in the clinical teaching building, it was designed by the sculptor Kurt Lehmann (1905–2000).

Less than four years after it was founded, teaching began in 1965 with 41 students enrolled. Due to the lack of space, the lessons initially took place in the Oststadt municipal hospital in Hanover. At the same time, the foundation stone was laid and new buildings were erected on an area of ​​around 400,000 square meters in the Roderbruch . By 1978, all important facilities, such as the central clinic, polyclinics, children's clinic, clinic for dental, oral and maxillofacial medicine, the library, various laboratory buildings, teaching buildings and lecture halls as well as supply and administration buildings, dormitories and residential buildings were built here. Only in the last few years was another building added, which since 2004 has housed the gynecological clinic and the “ Rudolf Pichlmayr ” transplant and research center. The Department of Plastic, Hand and Reconstructive Surgery moved from the Oststadt-Heidehaus Clinic to the MHH Clinic at the turn of the year 2006 .

From 1973 to 1997 the university operated the Hannover Research Reactor , a nuclear reactor for the production of radioactivity for nuclear medicine .

The university is set up as a campus university, with orthopedics in Annastift there is only one department in an external hospital.

The conversion into a foundation university was repeatedly up for discussion .

Research and Teaching

Ever since it was founded, the concept of collaboration between teachers and students has been used “in small groups at the bedside”. In this approach, reinforced by the new licensing regulations for doctors, the MHH is sticking to the successful teaching concept with its new study model HannibaL (Hanoverian integrated, job- oriented and adaptive curriculum).

As of the 2016 winter semester, a total of 3423 students, 2180 women (63.7%), from 82 nations were enrolled. 490 students (14.3%) had a foreign passport. Most of them studied human medicine (2059), followed by dentistry (522).

Medical students must complete their final year of study as an internship at their university's university hospital or an academic teaching hospital . Students can complete their practical year at over 50 teaching hospitals.
