Campus Charité Mitte
The history of Charité dates back to the year 1710. At that time the plague posed an imminent threat, and King Frederick I of Prussia had a quarantine hospital built outside the city gates. After the plague spared the city, the building was used during the next 17 years as a hospice for destitute old people, a workhouse for beggars, and a maternity home for unmarried mothers. Read more

Travel & transport information
Sustainable mobility on the go
In October 2021, Berlin’s public transport provider ‘Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG)’ joined forces with Charité to launch a cross-campus Jelbi network. Interested individuals can choose from
a range of transport sharing options. At ‘Jelbi stations’, network users can rent and return bicycles, electric scooters and electric motorcycles. Jelbi stations also offer flexible (no fixed pick-up point) and station-based (fixed pick-up point) car sharing.
On Campus Charité Mitte you will find the following ‘mobility hubs’: Hufelandweg 20, Virchowweg 6, Rahel-Hirsch-Weg 5. For further information, please visit www.jelbi.de/charite.
