New film "From plague house to prestige project. The history of the Charité"

The new film ‘From plague house to prestige project. The history of the Charité’ by the Berlin Heritage Authority showcases the impressive development of the Charité over more than 300 years. What began as a plague house on the outskirts of Berlin in 1710 is now Europe’s largest university hospital. Christoph Rauhut, Director of the Berlin Heritage Authority, guides viewers through the hospital’s various sites, recounting the challenges and milestones in Charité’s history. The hospital has survived two world wars, revolutions and the division of Germany. No matter who was in power, the Charité was always needed and utilised! The historic buildings, particularly those on the Campus Mitte, reflect this eventful history in the heart of the capital. Today, the Charité combines historical architecture with modern medicine, merging cutting-edge research with outstanding patient care. The film invites viewers to discover Charité’s hidden places, such as the famous Sauerbruch bunker or a lecture hall where time seems to have stood still. Join us in exploring the history of this unique hospital and Charité’s ambitious plans for the future.
