About the clinic

Situated in the tranquil, verdant district of Steglitz-Zehlendorf, the Helios Clinic Emil von Behring stands as a beacon of high-tech medicine in southwest Berlin. Born from the strategic merger of three historically significant institutions, the Oskar-Helen-Heim, the Hekeshorn pulmonology clinic, and the Behring Hospital, this medical center harmonizes deep-rooted tradition with cutting-edge innovation. Today, it serves as a primary care powerhouse, defined by an interdisciplinary philosophy where specialized departments and certified centers collaborate to provide a seamless continuum of care for both acute emergencies and chronic conditions. The clinic is globally recognized for its pioneering role in thoracic medicine. In a landmark achievement, its pulmonology department was the first in Germany to be certified as a lung cancer unit by the German Cancer Society. It remains one of Europe’s premier institutions for thoracic oncology, offering unmatched expertise in the treatment of complex lung diseases and respiratory pathologies. This legacy of excellence extends to the field of visceral and minimally invasive surgery, where surgical teams utilize advanced robotic and laparoscopic techniques to treat oncological diseases of the esophagus, liver, pancreas, and gastrointestinal tract with maximum precision and minimal recovery time. Beyond its surgical and oncological dominance, the Emil von Behring Hospital operates a high-performance, 24-hour emergency center, which includes a specialized pediatric intensive care unit and a certified local trauma center for the treatment of severe injuries. The facility’s diagnostic capabilities are bolstered by dedicated institutes for nuclear medicine, radiology, microbiology, and immunology. This internal infrastructure enables rapid, evidence-based decision-making, ensuring that patients across all disciplines, including gynecology, urology, endocrinology, and ophthalmology, benefit from the most up-to-date diagnostic insights. Recognizing that true recovery extends beyond the operating theater, the clinic integrates a holistic support network into its therapeutic model. A multidisciplinary team of nutritionists, psychologists, and physiotherapists works alongside medical doctors to guide patients through the rehabilitation process. Whether through conservative therapy or the most sophisticated surgical interventions, the Helios Clinic Emil von Behring provides a compassionate, patient-centered environment where the spirit of its namesake, Nobel laureate Emil von Behring, continues to inspire medical advancement and life-saving care.

FAQ

Can I treat lung cancer at Helios Clinic Emil von Behring?

The clinic is the first lung center in the country to be certified, offering a wide range of oncology treatments. Highly experienced doctors have a background in the best combination of various methods, such as immunotherapy and brachytherapy, to achieve the fastest recovery without compromising health.

Is the facility good for surgery?

One of the hospital's departments is the general, visceral, and minimally invasive surgery unit. As a certified competent center for minimally invasive surgery, the medical team performs all gastrointestinal tract operations, primarily using minimally invasive approaches (keyhole surgery).

What specialties are available in the clinic?

The medical center offers treatment of the most common diseases of the digestive, reproductive, genitourinary, endocrine, and cardiovascular systems. In addition, a wide range of oncological treatments, including conservative therapy and minimally invasive surgery, is available.

Is emergency care available for children at the clinic?

The high-tech department of acute medicine offers services 24 hours a day for patients of any age. Acute heart failure, anaphylactic shock, and acute neurological deficiency are quickly diagnosed thanks to high-precision MRI, CT, and catheter techniques. Intensive therapy is highly effective.

What makes the integrated lung clinic a national leader?

As one of Germany's most prestigious lung centers, Heckeshorn specializes in the entire spectrum of pneumology and thoracic surgery. It is a primary site for the newly launched national lung cancer screening program for high-risk groups. The clinic utilizes ultra-modern diagnostics, including ION-robot-assisted bronchoscopy, which enables extremely precise tissue sampling from peripheral lung regions that were previously difficult to reach.

How is robotic technology used in thoracic surgery?

The thoracic surgery department uses the da Vinci robotic system to perform complex lung resections and tumor removals. A key medical focus is lung-sparing surgery, where robotic precision enables the removal of isolated segments rather than entire lobes, maximizing the patient’s post-operative respiratory capacity. They also host a specialized Mesothelioma Center for the treatment of rare pleural cancers.

What is the "Oskar-Helene-Heim" heritage in orthopedics?

The clinic continues the legacy of the famous Oskar-Helene-Heim as a center for high-end joint and spine surgery. The joint medicine and spinal surgery center specializes in complex primary and revision endoprosthetics (hip and knee replacements). They use bone-sparing implantation techniques and modular revision systems for cases in which previous implants have failed or become infected.

What specialized care is available for children?

The hospital operates a highly specialized pediatric department, including the unique Pectus Clinic for the correction of chest wall deformities, such as funnel chest (pectus excavatum). It also features a renowned pediatric orthopedic unit specializing in hip dysplasia and the electromagnetic, pain-free lengthening of limbs (callus distraction) for children with leg-length discrepancies.

How does the clinic treat rare lung diseases?

The Rare Lung Diseases Center is a reference site for conditions such as cystic fibrosis, Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, and pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. They offer specialized whole lung lavage procedures and personalized biological therapies. They also operate a large sleep and ventilation medicine unit that specializes in weaning (the process of weaning patients off long-term mechanical ventilation).

What advanced oncological treatments are provided?

The visceral oncology division focuses on the surgical treatment of esophageal, liver, and pancreatic cancers. The hospital integrates personalized, precision oncology, in which tumors are genetically profiled to select targeted therapies. This is supported by the on-site Institute for tissue diagnostics (pathology) and an advanced Radiotherapy department that uses respiratory-gated (breath-synchronized) radiation to protect healthy lung tissue during treatment.

What is the focus of the vascular unit Berlin-Brandenburg?

This interdisciplinary center treats the full range of arterial and venous diseases. A medical highlight is the hemorrhoid embolization (HeEm), a minimally invasive radiological procedure where the blood supply to hemorrhoids is selectively blocked via a catheter, offering a painless alternative to traditional surgery. They also specialize in complex aortic aneurysm repairs using custom-made fenestrated stents.
