Since the founding of the Rheinische-Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität in 1818, distinguished figures have worked at the Bonn Anatomical Institute whose research and teaching have had a lasting impact on anatomy and medicine in Bonn and far beyond. Among the best known are Johannes Müller, Hermann von Helmholtz, Max Schultze, Otto Deiters, Moritz Nussbaum, Johannes Sobotta and Emmi Hagen. Today, the Institute's Anatomy Building, which was completed in 1872, has been supplemented by a modern teaching building and renovated between 2000 and 2011 to provide contemporary research space.

Directions
Arrival by car
If arriving via the A61, exit the freeway at the Meckenheim junction to join the A565 towards Bonn. Exit the A565 at the Bonn-Lengsdorf exit, then turn left onto Provinzialstraße, via Hermann-Wandersleb-Ring and Endenicher Straße. Then turn right onto Wittelsbacher Ring, turning right again at the next opportunity onto Endenicher Allee. Exit the Allee to turn left into Wegeler Straße, then drive past the IT center of the University of Bonn and look for a parking space. You have reached your destination.
If you are arriving via the A3 or A59, you must also take the A565, again exiting at the Bonn-Endenich exit. Then turn left, crossing the traffic circle onto Endenicher Straße. From here, follow the description above.
Arrival by public transport
Drive to Bonn's main train station. Once there, you can either walk (about 10 minutes) or take a cab, which also takes about 10 minutes. You will find the cab stand at the main exit of the station. Your destination is a red brick building, with the main entrance on the right side.
If you prefer to walk, go through the underpass of the train station and take the exit Quantinusstraße. There, turn onto Meckenheimer Allee and follow it for about 5 to 7 minutes until you have the Poppelsdorfer Castle in view. On your right you will see the Geographical Institute (the large yellow building), in front of which you turn onto a footpath. After a further 50 meters you will reach the Anatomical Institute from the side.
