The city ensures affordable housing
The city of Erlangen ensures that affordable apartments have been and are being built. Almost 5,200 apartments have been built in Erlangen since 2014. With a quota for subsidized housing construction, the city ensures that whenever there are large new construction projects for which land-use planning is required, subsidized, i.e. affordable, apartments are also built. Erlangen is one of the few cities in Germany where the number of subsidized apartments has been on the rise in recent years.- The University Hospital provides affordable apartments
The University Hospital has also built affordable apartments for its employees in recent years. In 2014, for example, 133 one-bedroom apartments in Elisabethstrasse, 77 apartments in Spardorf in 2021 and a further 88 affordable apartments in Büchenbach-West by the end of 2027. In the town center of
Uttenreuth, 71 new one-bedroom apartments are also planned. Public transport connections have been significantly improved by the CityLinie (bus route 299). - The University Hospital is an economic factor
Almost 10,000 people work there. It secures jobs and thus the prosperity of many people in Erlangen. It is an important part of the medical city of Erlangen with its companies and cutting-edge research facilities. At the same time, the University Hospital is an important place of education and an international research center. Innovations at the University Hospital attract attention in Germany and around the world. It regularly appears on the list of the best hospitals in the world. - The master plan aims to ensure the best possible medical care
The university hospital has drawn up a master plan to ensure that the university hospital continues to be successful in the future and can offer patients the best possible medical care with short distances in the city center. If the goals of the master plan are not achieved, this will mean a step backwards for the University Hospital and patient care. - Successful development of the University Hospital is essential for Erlangen
It treats patients from the city and from all over northern Bavaria in all areas of healthcare. Around 660,000 outpatient and inpatient treatments were carried out in 2023. The university hospital is also Erlangen's "city hospital". - The university hospital must be able to develop
Medicine and medical research are developing dynamically. The University Hospital must constantly adapt and modernize. Developments in the healthcare sector are increasing competition between hospitals. Large hospitals are becoming even more important as a result of the healthcare reform and are therefore particularly dependent on optimal operational organization. The University Hospital's master plan shows how the hospital must develop so that it can continue to offer patients optimal healthcare in the future. - The mixed, lively use of the city center should be maintained in the future
For the area between Bismarckstrasse, Hindenburgstrasse, Universitätsstrasse and Östliche Stadtmauerstrasse, the master plan only envisages that existing university hospital halls of residence in Östliche Stadtmauerstrasse will be repurposed and the low-cost halls of residence will be relocated. Facilities that are important for the functioning of the University Hospital and the Faculty of Medicine, such as a new clinic for pediatric urology, urology, orthopedics as well as forensic medicine, physiology and the central laboratory, are to be built there. This is a longer-term plan. One hall of residence is currently being converted into offices and laboratories, while no changes are planned for other halls of residence in the foreseeable future.
