Freiburg Teddy Bear Hospital

Playfully demonstrating how exciting a visit to hospital can be and that children need not be afraid of it - more than 350 Freiburg medical students are once again taking on this task with great commitment this summer. In cooperation with trainees from Freiburg University Medical Center, the Offene Fachschaft Medizin Freiburg e.V. is organizing the 21st Freiburg Teddy Bear Hospital from Tuesday, 5 May to Monday, 11 May 2026. Children aged around three to six years can have their sick or injured cuddly toys examined by specially trained students, the so-called "Teddy Docs", at the Teddy Bear Hospital. The cuddly patients are treated daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the park of the Freiburg University Medical Center.

Daycare and kindergarten groups (of five or more children) are welcome to visit the Teddy Bear Hospital during the week. Prior registration is required. Families can visit the Teddy Bear Hospital at any time. Registration is recommended and reduces the waiting time, but is not mandatory. About two hours should be planned for a visit to the Teddy Bear Hospital.
