The year 2013 was an exceptionally challenging one for Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin The
year again proved successful in economic terms, despite major challenges posed by extensive
construction measures. None of this would have been possible without our 16,700 hard-working
and committed staff members. The board would like to take this opportunity to heartily thank all
of our dedicated employees.
It is particulary satisfying when such good performance is recognized by others, for instance in
“Focus” magazine’s national hospital ranking survey. As in 2012, the Charité was again the overall
winner in 2013, having received the distinction as Germany’s best hospital.
With a view to further improving medical care and offering our patients state-of-the-art hospital
rooms, the largest renovation project in the history of the merged Charité began in 2013, entailing
the refurbishment of the high-rise hospital structure that was built in 1982. The first step was to
build a substitute construction comprising 150 individual modular structures. This new Charité
Campus Clinic facility now temporarily houses 339 beds from the high-rise building. The move in
September was meticulously planned and ran smoothly. The involved staff members can be very
proud of this enormous achievement.
Construction work continues not only in Berlin Mitte, but also on the Virchow Hospital Campus
and Campus Benjamin Franklin. The Virchow Hospital Campus received a new diesel-powered
emergency generator, while at Campus Benjamin Franklin the old OP rooms were transformed
into ten new operating rooms with state-of-the art technology.
Cooperation with the Berlin Institute of Health (BIH) was a further major project started in June of
2013. The Charité and the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine in Berlin-Buch will combine
their research efforts at this new institute. The aim of this joint project is to ensure that patients
can more quickly benefit from medical research findings.
For fiscal year 2013, in the area of hospital operations the Charité achieved an annual result
amounting to 1.6 million euros for the third year in a row (not including the special effects
resulting from the dissolution of third party funding obligations). With only one third of all
university hospitals in Germany achieving a positive annual result, we are pleased with what
we were able to accomplish.
The profit and loss statement for 2013 includes a special effect resulting from accumulated
third party research funding totaling 34.7 million euros. These retained earnings will be re-
leased for research funding purposes in their full amount.

Major construction measures startedFor the Charité, the year 2013 was characterized by con-
struction and remediation activities throughout our facili-
ties in Berlin Mitte. Preparations were initiated for the most
wide-ranging renovation project in the history of the Charité
merger: the comprehensive modernization of the high-rise
hospital building known as the Bettenhochhaus first built
in 1982. According to the master plan this structure will be
completely refurbished and receive a new facade; moreover,
a new state-of-the-art building on Philippstrasse will house
the Department of Emergency Medicine and Central OP and
Intensive Care areas.
The main concern of the responsible Charité planning team
composed of seven colleagues was to ensure safe and com-
fortable accommodations for our patients during the con-
struction phase. Together with the Board of Directors the
team of experts decided to transfer patient care services
from the high-rise building to the provisional Charité Campus
Clinic, a very high quality modular structure. The advantages
of this decision were obvious: patients would not be exposed
to annoying construction noise and the remediation mea-
sures could be carried out in a single construction phase.
The first module to house patient rooms was hoisted into
place in February of 2013. By mid-August, the four-storey
modular system composed of 150 modules was ready to ad-
mit patients. The building houses 9 wards with a total of 339
beds in state-of-the-art equipped and comfortably appointed
patient rooms. The Charité Campus Clinic provides a fore-
taste of the high-rise building after renovation: brightly lit
and pleasantly appointed rooms, large wheelchair-accessible
patient bathrooms and internet-enabled multimedia devices
at the patient’s bedside.
Moving the wards from the 24-floor high-rise building to the
new facility was an organizational tour de force: 3,000 rooms
occupying 25,000 square meters of floor space, including
19 wards, laboratories, offices and technological facilities,
had to be cleared. The overriding priority for all these ac-
tivities was to ensure seamless patient care. The planning
team elected to carry out the move in several stages. It took
18 long months to compile and adjust the overall plan and to
incorporate the various needs of physicians, nursing staff and
caregivers as future users of the Charité Campus Clinic. Six
weeks and 45 truck loads later, just 50 staff members had
already succeeded in moving everything from the high-rise
building to the new facility. Thanks to excellent preparatory
work the entire move was carried out within the allotted
time and budget.
The planning team paid particular attention to how the
patients were to be transferred. The pedestrian bridge connect-
ing the high-rise building and the Charité Campus Clinic
seemed the best option to transport the patients from one
building to the other. All the patients were pleasantly sur-
prised to find such bright comfortable rooms and new beds.
The Charité Campus Clinic has become very popular and
occupancy rates are nearly 100 percent.
General contractors for high-rise renovationConstruction work began on the high-rise building in Ja-
nuary of 2014. A consortium comprising Ed. Züblin AG and
VAMED Management and Service GmbH Deutschland was
appointed as the general contractor. Over the next three
years a total of 202.5 million euros will be spent on the
renovation of the high-rise building located on the Charité
Campus in Berlin Mitte and on upgrading to state-of-the-art
medical technology.
Outstanding Performance Despite Major Challenges
7
Construction work on all campusesThe Charité is rejuvenating all its campuses. Numerous pro-
jects are being implemented in the context of the master
plan and are contributing significantly to the enhancement
of existing campus structures. Technical improvements in-
clude a new diesel-powered emergency generator for the
Virchow Hospital Campus. The generator costing 5.86 million
euros starts automatically in case of sudden power outages,
which in turn ensures the proper functioning of essential and
life-sustaining machinery. A high-voltage switching station
and two diesel-powered emergency generators guarantee
adequate power supply during outages. The unit became
operational in early 2014 and is the first step in the ongoing
restructuring of Campus power supply facilities.
In the context of the master plan, ten new operating rooms
are currently being set up on the Campus Benjamin Franklin.
The old operating rooms built during the 1960s will be re-
placed and their spatial structures and building technology
systems updated in order to bring them in line with con-
temporary requirements. This will result in a more spacious
surgery section for example. The installation of the most
up-to-date medical information technology will also improve
access to cutting-edge high-tech environments. Construction
and remediation measures were started in the fall of 2013
and should be completed by early 2016 within the framework
of two separate construction phases involving five OP rooms
each. The related cost is estimated at 19 million euros. To
ensure that surgeries can continue at the same pace during
the renovation phase, the remaining operating rooms in the
central surgery section and other in-house facilities are to
be used more intensely.
Board members reconfirmedIn August 2013, the Charité supervisory board reconfirmed
Prof. Dr. Karl Max Einhäupl as its Chairperson by extend-
ing his term of office for five years. Before that, Dean
Prof. Dr. Annette Grüters-Kieslich was also reelected and
Matthias Scheller appointed to another five-year term as
the Hospital Director. In December, Prof. Dr. Ulrich Frei was
reelected to the post of Medical Director by the professors
of the clinical centers and confirmed by the supervisory
board. In this way the supervisory board expressed its
confidence in all the members of the Charité executive
board again in 2013.
Successfully defending our top rankingIn “Focus” magazine’s hospital ranking survey for 2013,
the Charité was able to defend its top position from the
previous year: the Charité is again by far the overall winner.
In the majority of the surveyed specialist fields Charité
again achieved the leading position. The list of hospitals
assessed in “Focus” is the result of the most comprehensive
nationwide quality comparison of more than 2,000 hospi-
tals in Germany. Assessment variables included success
rates, patient safety, clinical quality management measures,
technical facilities, professional staff qualifications and,
above all, recommendations by more than 22,000 medical
specialists.

Intensive care unit of the future In October 2103, Charité presented the intensive care unit of
the future at the Virchow Hospital Campus. Unlike customary
intensive care units with their technical apparatus, ‘bee-
ping’ sounds and alarms, a modern unit features a pleasant
patient-friendly atmosphere with soft light and dark wood in
the foreground. Two rooms with four beds each have been
designed in such a way that patients and their loved ones can
benefit from maximum privacy: medical machinery is kept
in the background and alarm noises are muffled. Artificial
skies arch over patient beds with clouds passing over during
the day and stars twinkling at night. This helps to reduce the
risk of dangerous postoperative delirium. The pilot project
“Parametric Interior Design” was carried out by the Charité
in cooperation with architects from GRAFT – Gesellschaft von
Architekten mbH, ART+COM AG and Charité CFM Facility Man-
agement GmbH. Over a period of 18 months, experts in the
fields of intensive care, psychology, sleep research, architec-
ture and media design will explore how room design can
influence the patient healing process.
Robotic operating room inauguratedA next-generation operating room was inaugurated in De-
cember 2013 at the Virchow Hospital Campus. Cutting-edge,
robotics-assisted surgery utilizes the most modern devices
and technologies in support of innovative surgical methods.
This allows physicians to reduce surgery time and thereby
reduce anesthesia times. The OP team also benefits from
the simplified handling of medical apparatus. Touch panels,
high definition displays and monitors over the operating
table transform the operating theater into a cutting-edge
treatment room. The operation room can be used for various
disciplines and is the result of close cooperation between
Charité‘s medical and technical personnel and its technology
partner TRUMPF Medizin Systeme GmbH + Co. KG.
Showpiece project: Mobile Stroke UnitWhen a stroke occurs, every minute counts. This is because
no other tissue suffers irreversible damage from interrupted
blood supply as rapidly as brain tissue. The Mobile Stroke
Unit (STEMO) is a specially designed rescue vehicle equipped
with a computer tomograph scanner and a mini-laboratory,
specially trained rescue personnel and a neurologist with
emergency response qualifications. A full-scale study carried
out by the Charité examining 7,000 patients over a period
of 21 months has now revealed that STEMO is significantly
more effective in the treatment of stroke patients and also
significantly reduces response times. STEMO was shown to
reduce the time between the initial emergency call and the
initiation of treatment, in addition to a marked increase
in the frequency of lysis. With the aid of medications, lysis
therapy serves to dissolve blood clots that block brain arte-
ries. STEMO also symbolizes the first-class cooperation that
exists between the Charité, the Berlin Fire Department and
two technology firms in the state of Brandenburg that were
instrumental in jointly developing the emergency vehicle.
Charity for CharitéJust prior to Christmas 2013, the Charité Pediatric Clinics
organized a benefit gala entitled “Charity for Charité”.
“Keeping our children healthy” was the main theme that at-
tracted more than 200 guests and prominent citizens to the
gala to show their solidarity with the needs of the Pediatric
Clinics. Donations amounting to more than 100,000 euros
were received in support of urgently needed health servi-
ces for children and adolescents. The Charity gala focused
on five specific services offered by the Pediatric Clinics in
the fields of prevention, treatment and aftercare. The pro-
ceeds from that evening are to be placed at the disposal of
the following Charité projects: ongoing development of an
Interdisciplinary Ward for Children with Serious Rare Disea-
9
ses and the Safe House for Children, as well as continuing
support for the Berlin Trauma Outpatient Service for Children
and Adolescents, the Aftercare Program for Families with
Seriously Ill Children, and the prevention project entitled
“Babylotse Plus” for infants and their parents. In the name of
all the Pediatric Clinics at the Charité, Dean Prof. Dr. Annette
Grüters-Kieslich thanked the many ambassadors for impro-
ved pediatric health, the artists, the partners and sponsors,
as well as the volunteers that made such an event possible.
DSO honors the CharitéIn its role as an independent organization, the German Or-
gan Transplantation Foundation (DSO) honored the Charité
for its ongoing commitment in the area of organ transplants.
At a celebratory event, Mario Czaja, Berlin’s Senator for
Health and Social Affairs, and Dr. Detlef Bösebeck, Man-
aging Physician of the DSO, presented the Charité with a
certificate and a commemorative sculpture. Approximately
4,000 people received a new organ in Germany last year
and were given a second chance at life. More than 11,000
people in Germany are currently waiting for a donor organ,
yet the number of donations is at an all-time low. The rea-
sons for receiving this award included the dedicated support
provided by hospital management to the transplantation
representative, continuing education of hospital personnel,
elaboration of guidelines for emergency organ donation,
and implementation of the organ donation process as a
normal medical care obligation.
Central operational facility for Labor BerlinLabor Berlin, the exceedingly successful joint project
between Charité and Vivantes, moved into its new head-
quarters in April of 2013. This facility offers space for
9 departments that were previously distributed across
13 locations to work together under one roof. Europe’s lar-
gest hospital laboratory can now perform its diagnostic
tasks at a central site in a concentrated and unified manner.
In the future, this facility will provide high performance
diagnostic services for more than 10,000 hospital beds in
and around Berlin, and will continue to provide high-quality,
on-site emergency care at all hospital locations under the
aegis of Charité and Vivantes.
Exemplary cooperation with Vivantes In 2013, the Charité and Vivantes initiated their own dedi-
cated network for the treatment of ovarian cancer. Their
activities include online tumor conferences on how to best
deal with the disease which is contracted by approximately
8,000 women in Germany each year. The conference takes
place over two weeks, during which physicians discuss the
clinical pictures of the patients with a committee of ex-
perts and together jointly develop therapy recommenda-
tions. The aim of this cooperative effort is to significantly
improve the treatment of patients with ovarian cancer in
the Berlin and Brandenburg region, and beyond.
10
Berlin Institute of Health openedThe Berlin Institute of Health (BIH) was inaugurated in June
2013 at an official ceremony. Its board members include Prof.
Dr. Ernst Theodor Rietschel (chairperson), Prof. Dr. Walter
Rosenthal, Prof. Dr. Karl Max Einhäupl and Prof. Dr. Annette
Grüters-Kieslich. The BIH combines the research capabili-
ties of the Helmholtz Association’s Max-Delbrück Center
for Molecular Medicine Berlin-Buch (MDC) and the Charité,
one of the largest university hospitals in Europe. The aim of
the institute is to better translate research findings into real
hospital settings. As such, Germany now has its first ever
holistic and medical systems-based research facility. The
federal and state governments and the Helmholtz Associa-
tion are providing funds in the amount of approximately 300
million euros to the MDC and Charité to further develop the
BIH over the next 5 years. The benefactress of the Charité
Foundation, Johanna Quandt, is also supporting the BIH
project with 40 million euros.
Science and Social Responsibility: GeDenkOrt.CharitéIn the context of Berlin’s theme year 2013 “Diversity De-
stroyed”, the Charité has erected two commemorative co-
lumns to honor its staff, physicians and research assistants
who were expelled or died during the National Socialist
period. One of the columns bears inscriptions of the names of
the 180 Charité members identified to date along with rele-
vant biographical information. Exclusion and expulsion have
become important topics of discussion at the Charité. In Ger-
many, and in Berlin in particular, numerous monuments are
dedicated to Germany‘s past. Until now, however, the Charité
has lacked a visible, centrally located place of remembrance,
and despite a few steps in this direction, no comprehensive
historical-scientific analysis of the NS period has yet been
undertaken. In this context, “GeDenkOrt.Charité” represents
a highly significant and high-priority project which aims to
close long-standing gaps in our culture of remembrance and
expose historical realities that in turn influence the contem-
porary and future identity of such an historic institution.
As an internationally renowned university hospital where
physicians and scientists research, heal and teach at the
highest levels and where students are trained and subse-
quently disseminate learned knowledge to the outside world,
the Charité now strives to set and to adhere significantly
higher standards.
World Health SummitIn October of 2013, health policy decision makers from 80
countries gathered once more in Berlin on the occasion of the
World Health Summit (WHS). Under the auspices of the Ger-
man Chancellor Angela Merkel, the French President Fran-
çois Hollande and the President of the European Commis-
sion, José Manuel Barroso, the gathering discussed possible
solutions in terms of a global approach to healthcare. The
Charité has been the organizer of the WHS since 2009 and
participated in many important events again this year, and
in doing so provided key input on issues such as prevention,
education and academic responsibility. The mission of the
WHS is to improve global health. To this end the spheres of
science, industry, politics and civil society need to cooperate
more closely and take greater joint responsibility for this
issue.
HAM-NatA first for the Charité: with a pencil in one hand and an ID in
the other, approximately 700 prospective students submitted
applications to take the Hamburg Natural Science Test (HAM-
Nat) for the first time in September 2013 for enrolment in the
winter term 2013 / 2014. They were all vying for the highly
coveted admission to medical or dental studies at the Charité.
11
The HAM-Nat is a scholastic aptitude test that has replaced
the customary personal interviews with prospective stu-
dents. The test examines an applicant’s skills in subject areas
related to the fields of mathematics and the natural sciences.
During a two-hour examination, the candidates must answer
around 80 questions from the fields of mathematics, physics,
biology and chemistry. The test was conceived at the Univer-
sity of Hamburg and further elaborated in conjunction with
the Charité and the University of Magdeburg.
Charité and the Sorbonne cooperateThe Centre Virchow-Villermé was established in April 2013
on the occasion of ceremonies commemorating the 50th
anniversary of the Élysée Treaty. The aim of this joint center
administered by the Charité and the Sorbonne Paris Cité is
to promote innovative interdisciplinary research in the area
of public health and to create innovative course materials.
Two professorships have been granted to date. Sanofi-Aventis
Deutschland GmbH is providing funding in the amount of one
million euros for the first five years of each professorship.
Einstein Professorship at the CharitéWith the appointment of Prof. Dr. Angelika Eggert, the Cha-
rité has now earned its second Einstein Professorship. Prof.
Dr. Eggert is taking over the Pediatric Clinic specializing in
oncology and hematology. A renowned specialist in pediatric
cancer, she is considered one of Germany‘s leading oncolo-
gists and is an excellent and highly active scientist. One of
her goals is to launch a dedicated research network. The
Charité has again succeeded in appointing a woman to an
important chair, thereby maintaining its leading position in
Germany in terms of delegating academic chairs to talented
female scientists.
HU and Charité research togetherIn the spring of 2013, the Charité, the Humboldt University
of Berlin (HU) and the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular
Medicine Berlin-Buch (MDC) established the Integrative
Research Institute (IRI) for the Life Sciences. The aim was to
further develop the Humboldt’s north campus area into an
important science park in the heart of Berlin, and together
to promote basic research activities in systems biology and
theoretical biology, the neurosciences, as well as infec-
tion biology and immunology. IRI scientists conduct joint
research into life itself, from the molecular to the more
complex levels of organic life with a view to strengthening
the focus on prevention, diagnostics and therapy in daily
clinical practice.
Clinical Trial Management Unit (CTMU)The Clinical Trial Management Unit (CMTU) provides im-
portant support for excellent clinical research at the Cha-
rité. It supports the coordination and conduct of industry-
sponsored clinical studies at the Charité. The aim of this
new facility is to ensure adherence to high quality standards
in patient-oriented clinical research projects, to optimize
infrastructures, and to offer general support for research
activities at the Charité. This cooperation with industry in
the context of clinical studies makes it possible for Charité
clinics to offer the most cutting-edge medicinal therapeutic
strategies emanating from pharmaceutical development
pipelines. In this way patients will be able to gain access to
the most innovative therapies.

ProfitabilityCharité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin comprises more than
100 medical facilities and institutes distributed across four
separate locations: the Benjamin Franklin Campus, Berlin
Buch Campus, Charité Mitte Campus and Virchow Hospital
Campus. The Charité Group employs a total of approximately
16,700 staff members in the areas of health care, research,
teaching, services, administration and external funding. This
makes the Charité one of the largest employers in the Ger-
man capital.
With an overall turnover exceeding 1.4 billion euros and more
than 136,000 inpatient and 637,000 outpatient cases, the
Charité achieved revenues amounting to 816.2 million euros
for the 2013 reporting period. This breaks down to 717.2
million euros of revenues from inpatient care, 58.6 million
euros from outpatient care services, and charges for elec-
tive procedures and fees for the use of medical facilities by
private doctors in the overall amount of 40.4 million euros.
The Charité received grants and allocations from the State of
Berlin in the amount of 197.9 million euros. Other operating
income amounted to 338.7 million euros.
Staffing costs were the largest single expenditure item.
This amounted to 745.7 million euros, corresponding to an
increase of 4.3 million euros when compared with the pre-
vious year. The cost of materials rose by 22.8 million euros
to a total of 393.1 million euros. Other operating expenses
amounted to 211.3 million euros, including 71.3 million euros
for maintenance needs.
Net earnings amounted to 36.3 million euros overall for the
reporting period. Even without the dampening special effect
in the amount of 34.7 million euros due to the dissolution
of external funding obligations — with its net earnings of 1.6
million euros — the Charité has achieved a positive result
for the third year in a row, and has again exceeded its own
ambitious business plan goals. The successful course of eco-
nomic consolidation continued in 2013 as well, despite a
further reduction of 84 beds. This improvement in the
Charité’s economic underpinning was made possible by the
hard work of our staff in furthering the Charité’s economic
reform process, which in turn facilitated the implementati-
on of an extensive portfolio of improvements in structural
efficiency. We were able to balance and even overcompensate
for these losses, despite a further increase in expenditures
due to tariff agreements and inflationary effects, as well as
additional costs for construction measures.
InvestmentsThe Charité invested a total of 72.9 million euros in both
tangible and intangible assets over the course of the fiscal
year. A major portion of these investments was financed by
the State of Berlin in the form of subsidies for health services
and research and teaching; the regular investment subsidies
of the State of Berlin amounted to 33.7 million euros.
