Luckily for all the non-german speakers there is a doctors office located conveniently close to the Jacobs campus. His name is Dr. Med. Hagen Schmidtmann, the full adress is

Pumpenstr. 10

28759 Bremen

Telephone: 0421 627171

He is accustomed to having Jacobs students in his office, is very frienly and quite sufficient in German. So if you come down with something that’s beyond our first aid tips, just trot over.

You exit off campus through the gate behind the Kindergarden accross from Research III (Taunusstrasse, where the pool is). From the gate you head left, and follow the street (Friedrich Humbert Strasse) for about 600 meters until you see the Pumpenstrasse. Alternatively you can wait at the busstop at the opposite side of the road and take any bus (74,75) two stops down the line. Once you’ve gotten out, continue in the same direction until you meet the Pumpenstrasse (about 20 meters). Turn right into Pumpenstrasse and continue down about 50 meters, its a small house with a bikerack in the driveway on the right hand side. Remember to bring 10 Euros in cash, which you have to pay each quarter year anew when you visit the doc in Germany. Also remember to get a note from him if you miss class, especially exams, because thats the only excuse that will be accepted by most Professors. Stay healthy
