The University Hospital of Tübingen ( UKT for short ), founded in 1805, is the hospital of the University of Tübingen . Together with the medical faculty of the university , it is one of the centers of German university medicine and contributes to the network of high-performance medicine , research and teaching in Germany.
The facilities of the University Hospital Tübingen are mainly spread over two hospital areas. The area of the Kliniken Tal is located north of the city center and is characterized by the classicist clinic buildings built outside the city walls since the middle of the 19th century . The buildings of the clinic on the grounds of the Berg Clinics , which were built in the 1960s, are located north-west of the city center at half-height on the Schnarrenberg .
Health care
Every year around 74,000 inpatients and 366,000 outpatients are treated in 17 clinics with numerous specializations, specialist departments and interdisciplinary centers. The catchment area extends from the conurbation of the Middle Neckar to Lake Constance . The clinic has been KTQ certified since 2009 and was recertified in 2012, 2015 and 2018.

Research and Teaching
The medical faculty is one of the four founding faculties of the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen . It has existed since 1477. Today, neurosciences, oncology and immunology, infection biology and vascular medicine with diabetes research are among the main research areas of the medical faculty. Innovative medical technology, core facilities, special research areas, research centers and other interdisciplinary research institutions connect the focal points in a supportive manner. Around 1,800 scientists conduct research in the medical field in around 980 laboratories.
More than 4,000 students of human or dental medicine as well as the bachelor 's degree programs in molecular medicine and medical technology or the master’s and doctoral degree program Graduate Training Center of Neuroscience study at the medical faculty of the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen . Around 500 graduates complete their training here every year.

history
Johann Heinrich Ferdinand Autenrieth , professor of anatomy, physiology, surgery and obstetrics, opened the hospital he directed in 1805 in the " Alten Burse ", built in 1479, with 15 beds in 12 rooms. This separated surgery and obstetrics from internal medicine . In 1839 the polyclinic, in which the patients of the city of Tübingen are treated, became an independent department in the hospital. In 1846 internal medicine and surgery moved to their new university hospital (Silcherstraße, today the old ear, nose and throat clinic). The medical clinic (today Theologicum ) was opened in 1879, the old women's clinic was built in 1890 and the mental hospital in 1895/96. The eye clinic was built in 1909, followed by the dermatology clinic in 1912, the old children's clinic in 1927 and the old surgery (now the women's clinic) in 1935.
Between 1934 and 1945 more than 1200 forced sterilizations were carried out on the basis of the law for the prevention of genetically ill offspring, for which new techniques such as radiation were "tried out". The dead of the clinics, especially the anatomical institute, lie in “Grave Field X” in the city cemetery. Preparations from body parts of prisoners of the Hailfingen-Tailfingen satellite camp were still used in teaching until 1990.
Some of the old buildings in the valley could no longer meet the requirements of modern high-performance medicine. In 1961 the medical clinic moved to Schnarrenberg. From 1988 to 1989 the "Crona Clinics" building was occupied. The children's clinic followed, only the area of neonatology remained “in the valley” in order not to have to physically separate care for mother and child. In 2002, the gynecological clinic and neonatology moved together into the now listed "Old Surgery". The ENT clinic has also been located on Schnarrenberg since 2002. The eye clinic moved into a new building on Schnarrenberg in 2016.
Gradually, the old buildings in the valley were given to other provisions. For example, the theological faculty occupied the former building of the medical clinic after it had moved to the Schnarrenberg. The University's Department of Geography is now housed in the former children's clinic; the old women's clinic has been used by psychologists since 2011.

University Eye Clinic
The University Eye Clinic in Tübingen, founded in 1875, has been part of the Berg Clinic since the move in 2016. In addition to the operative care of ophthalmic diseases, the clinic's spectrum includes, above all, specialist outpatient clinics and special consultations. The University Eye Clinic is a teaching hospital with its own research groups. With 77 beds, it is one of the largest clinics for ophthalmology in Germany and treats 80,000 outpatients and 6,000 inpatients annually and performs 20,000 surgical procedures (as of 2017).
Together with the Research Institute for Ophthalmology, the University Eye Clinic has formed the Department of Ophthalmology since 2007. The Department of Medical Structures of the State of Baden-Württemberg has been awarded the title of Center of Excellence for the special combination of health care and research.
In the precision engineering workshop founded in 1959, ophthalmic devices are developed. Among other things, the Tübingen perimeter and prototypes of the Foerster glasses were constructed here.
building
On January 1, 1909, under the reign of King Wilhelm II of Württemberg, the Royal Württemberg Eye Clinic in Tübingen was inaugurated. The clinic, a plastered brick building in Art Nouveau style with five floors and reinforced concrete ceilings, was built on a hill above the old town of Tübingen [Kliniken Tal]. An extension, which was already planned in the original plans, was realized around 1920 on the west side of the clinic. The eye clinic, which was almost undamaged in the Second World War, was expanded to include a research building in the 1960s.
In 2016 the eye clinic moved to a new building on the Schnarrenberg and is now part of the Berg clinics next to the ENT clinic.
Treatment spectrum
In addition to the general outpatient department, the eye clinic has a specialized outpatient department for cataract surgery and eight special outpatient departments (glaucoma, cornea, integrative children's clinic, intraocular tumors, macula, retina, refractive surgery and uveitis). Surgical focuses are retinal and vitreous surgery, corneal surgery, filtering glaucoma surgery, refractive surgery, tumor surgery and reconstructive trauma surgery.
The University Eye Clinic has had its own corneal bank since 2001, making it one of around 24 institutions of this type in Germany. In 2007, the Tübingen corneal bank received DIN ISO certification for corneal , scleral and amniotic membrane transplants. In the ophthalmopathological laboratory, up to 1,200 tissue samples from around 600 patients are examined every year.
Research and Teaching
The research groups at the University Eye Clinic pursue the approach of translation , a permanent exchange between basic scientific knowledge and clinical implementation. Findings from the special outpatient clinics and consultation hours are included in the research work.
Around 500 students attend the courses at the eye clinic every semester. Since the beginning of 2005 there has been a partnership with the eye clinic of the Malawi Medical College in Blantyre . Joint clinical research projects have been carried out since 2007.
The University Eye Clinic houses an ophthalmological teaching collection - "Eye Technology" - with over 50 historical examination devices. The very rare objects mostly date from the period from 1890 to 1910 and reflect the development of the subject at that time. Only in the second half of the 19th century did ophthalmology establish itself as an independent and university subject. This collection is part of the Museum of the University of Tübingen MUT and is professionally located in the research area "History of Ophthalmology".
Clinic directors
The University Eye Clinic was run from 1909 to 1970 by only one clinic director. From 1970 there was a specification of the clinic departments with respective professorships and joint clinic management. Since the establishment of the Department of Ophthalmology in 2007, the University Eye Clinic has again been run by a clinic director.
