More than 8,500 people work there. == History == At the same time as the [[Prussia|Prussians]] started the [[University of Bonn|Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn]] in 1818, the first [[Professor|professors]] and [[Clinic|clinics]] were started for [[internal medicine]], [[surgery]] and [[obstetrics]], among others. Because they needed more space, these clinics moved to new buildings on Theaterstraße in the area of today's [[Beethovenhalle]] during the [[German Empire]]. After [[World War II]], the hospital moved to a large area on the Venusberg in the middle of the Kotten Forest, and now only the [[Forensic science|Forensic Medicine]] Institute, the [[Diamorphine]] Outpatient Clinic, the Preclinical Institutes and the [[Dental clinic|Dental]] Clinic remain in the city outside the [[Venusberg]] campus. Since 2001, Bonn University Hospital has been independent with its own supervisory board. It is managed by a five-member board of directors. Prof. Dr. med. Dr. h.c. mult. [[Wolfgang Holzgreve]], MBA, has been chairman of the board since 2012.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-10-26 |title=Kennzahlen |url=https://www.ukbonn.de/site/assets/files/29503/ukb-geschaeftsbericht-2021.pdf |website=UKB}}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Bonn]] [[Category:University hospitals in Germany]]
