Tempelhof-Schöneberg — from Friedenau to Lichtenrade
The district of Tempelhof-Schöneberg has more than 350,000 residents and is one of the most populous in Berlin. The north is dominated by Schöneberg with its established, academically shaped old-build milieu around the Bavarian Quarter, the Akazienkiez, Nollendorfplatz and Winterfeldtplatz. Friedenau has for decades been one of the quietest yet most cultivated Berlin residential areas — many writers, academics and lawyers live in the Friedenau old-builds.
Further south follow Tempelhof with its former airfield and the surrounding residential quarters, Mariendorf with terraced-house developments and single-family homes, Marienfelde with established family neighbourhoods and finally Lichtenrade at the southern city edge — a classic senior neighbourhood with a high proportion of home ownership and many long-standing private patients. The clientele in the district is therefore particularly mixed: young professionals and academic couples in northern Schöneberg and Friedenau, settled families in Tempelhof and Mariendorf, seniors in Marienfelde and Lichtenrade.
Typical conditions
In Schöneberg and Friedenau we frequently see acute infections, migraine, gastrointestinal complaints, back pain in professionally stressed patients and follow-up visits after a practice consultation. Among families in Tempelhof and Mariendorf, childhood respiratory infections, middle-ear infections, fever and gastrointestinal illness dominate. In Marienfelde and Lichtenrade we add age-related care questions — hypertension, heart failure, diabetes, COPD and mobility limitations.
Established clientele, calm consultation in the living room
The Schöneberg and Friedenau private clientele is demanding, well-informed and values a calm, thorough medical conversation — especially when the regular family doctor is unavailable or the consulting hours do not fit the situation. We take the time that is needed. Billing follows the German medical fee schedule (GOÄ) via our private medical accounts office, and on request directly with the private insurer or Beihilfe 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 Tempelhof-Schöneberg
From Charlottenburg we travel via the Bundesallee or Hohenzollerndamm into northern Schöneberg — arrival 20 to 30 minutes. Friedenau we reach via Rheinstrasse in 25 to 35 minutes. Tempelhof and Mariendorf via Tempelhofer Damm in 35 to 45 minutes. Marienfelde and Lichtenrade at the southern city edge take 45 to 60 minutes via the federal road B96.
In the Bavarian Quarter, the Akazienkiez and in Friedenau, parking is a question of patience — we ask on the phone for the bell name, floor and any hint about a rear courtyard or quiet side street. In Tempelhof, Mariendorf, Marienfelde and Lichtenrade the situation is more relaxed — many houses have their own driveway or a quiet street outside.
Availability
Hours and arrival time
RAB is available daily from 6 am to midnight — 365 days a year. In Tempelhof-Schöneberg we expect 25 to 60 minutes arrival time from the moment we accept the call. Northern Schöneberg and Friedenau are at the lower end of the range; Lichtenrade at the southern city edge at the upper.
The specialist expertise applies in Lichtenrade too. For family house calls with multiple patients — for example parents and a child ill at the same time — we plan in enough time to treat everyone in a single visit. For scheduled follow-ups we agree concrete time windows.

Case profiles
Typical reasons for a house call in Tempelhof-Schöneberg
Townhouse family in Friedenau
An academic family with two children in a Friedenau old-build around Rüdesheimer Platz. Over the weekend both children develop febrile respiratory infections; the mother is herself under the weather. We attend, examine all three in turn, rule out influenza and bacterial pneumonia, treat symptomatically and issue certificates and sick notes.
Professional in the Bavarian Quarter
A 41-year-old lawyer in a renovated old-build apartment by Bayerischer Platz calls on Sunday evening with an acute urinary tract infection and emerging pyelonephritis — she has an important hearing on Monday. We attend, examine clinically, treat with antibiotics and issue documentation suitable for direct submission to her private insurer.
Family in Tempelhof
A family with a small child in a terraced house around Alt-Tempelhof. The child has had high fever and earache for hours. Rather than driving the screaming toddler to a weekend emergency department, a specialist comes to the house, examines with an otoscope, diagnoses middle-ear infection, prescribes therapy and reassures the parents.
Senior neighbourhood Lichtenrade
An 82-year-old widow in a single-family house in Lichtenrade around Bahnhofstrasse, with heart failure and early dementia. Her daughter lives in Tempelhof and has booked the house call service. We attend, find a deterioration of the heart failure, adjust the diuretic dose, coordinate with the nursing service and arrange a follow-up in a week.
Frequently asked questions
How quickly does a doctor arrive in Tempelhof-Schöneberg?
In northern Schöneberg, the Bavarian Quarter and Friedenau we expect 20 to 35 minutes from the moment we accept the call. Tempelhof and Mariendorf 35 to 45 minutes. Marienfelde and Lichtenrade at the southern city edge 45 to 60 minutes. We give a concrete time window at the point of booking.
Do you also visit Lichtenrade?
Yes, regularly. Lichtenrade is among the most southerly Ortsteile we serve — the journey takes 45 to 60 minutes, but for scheduled house calls for the established senior clientele we allocate fixed weekdays and time windows in advance.
Do you also treat children in Friedenau and Tempelhof?
Yes. Childhood respiratory infections, middle-ear infections, fever and gastrointestinal illness are common call-outs — particularly in the family quarters around Rüdesheimer Platz, Tempelhof and Mariendorf. Our specialist doctors are experienced in paediatric first care and refer to paediatric colleagues for specialist follow-up where needed.
How does billing work?
We bill under the German medical fee schedule (GOÄ) through our private medical accounts office. For Beihilfe-entitled patients — frequent in Friedenau, Tempelhof and Mariendorf — we issue documentation suitable for direct submission to both the Beihilfe office and the private insurer.
