.Department of Social Neurocience building at the Charité Hospital Campus, Mitte, Berlin The Charite is rated as the best in Germany and has intensive research programmes. More than half of all German Nobel Prize winners in Physiology or Medicine, including Emil von Behring, Robert Koch and Paul Ehrlich came from the Charité. The hospital was established north of the Berlin city walls in 1710 on the orders of King Frederick I of Prussia to deal with a possible outbreak of the bubonic plague that had affected East Prussia. The plague did not reach Berlin and the hospital became a charity hospital for the poor. In 1727, Frederick William I of Prussia gave it the name Charité. An anatomical theatre was constructed in 1913 and this marks the beginning of the Medical School.
