About the clinic

Perched within the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of the Berchtesgaden Alps, the Schön Clinic Berchtesgadener Land functions as a high-altitude medical sanctuary where the purity of the alpine air is technically integrated into the treatment of complex systemic diseases. Founded in 1996, the facility has transcended the traditional definition of a rehabilitation clinic to become a European high-performance hub, specifically for patients navigating the extreme frontiers of respiratory and psychosomatic medicine. The architectural philosophy emphasizes healing by nature, with many patient suites featuring private balconies that overlook the Watzmann massif, serving as a silent partner in the recovery process. The global prestige is anchored by its status as Europe’s largest center for lung transplant medicine. It provides a comprehensive medical bridge for patients both awaiting a donor organ and those in the critical post-operative period. This pulmonology department has achieved pioneering status in the treatment of vocal cord dysfunction and was among the first in Germany to establish a dedicated high-volume unit for Long-COVID and Post-COVID recovery. Utilizing state-of-the-art body plethysmography and high-resolution spiroergometry, the medical team designs high-intensity interval training protocols specifically calibrated for patients with severely reduced lung capacity, pushing the boundaries of what was previously thought possible in respiratory rehabilitation. In the realm of psychosomatic medicine, the clinic employs a deep-dive therapeutic model that addresses the intersection of physical chronic illness and mental resilience. The facility is a national leader in treating depression, anxiety disorders, and burnout, utilizing a multidisciplinary board of psychologists, specialized nurses, and sports therapists. A unique feature of the Berchtesgaden site is its Alpin-therapy program, which utilizes the local topography for guided therapeutic climbing and Nordic walking, scientifically proven to lower cortisol levels more effectively than indoor exercise. This is complemented by an advanced orthopedic unit that specializes in the functional restoration of the musculoskeletal system following major joint surgeries or sports injuries. The clinic has further modernized its diagnostic Institute, incorporating AI-supported sleep apnea screening and real-time tele-monitoring for transplant patients. The nursing culture at Berchtesgadener Land is defined by active participation, where patients are not passive recipients of care but are coached to become experts in their own health management. Consistently ranked at the top of the Focus and Stern hospital lists, the Schön Clinic Berchtesgadener Land remains a beacon of hope where the most advanced medical technology, from specialized oscillatory PEP devices to gait training, meets the ancient healing power of the mountains.

What makes the pneumology department unique?

It is Europe’s largest center for medical care before and after lung transplantations. They specialize in complex weaning (off ventilators) and intensive rehabilitation for chronic lung diseases like COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, and Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.

How does the clinic treat vocal cord dysfunction?

The clinic uses a specialized diagnostic and therapeutic protocol, one of the few in Germany, to distinguish vocal cord dysfunction from asthma. Treatment involves specific breathing techniques and in-house-developed laryngeal retraining to prevent the vocal cords from closing inappropriately during inhalation.

What is the focus of their psychosomatic department?

The medical focus is on eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia), severe depression, and anxiety disorders. They use a high-frequency therapy model, meaning patients receive more individual and group sessions per week than in standard clinics.
