For the people of Bonn, the Venusberg area is synonymous with the "university hospital", which has been headquartered here since 1950. The area of the clinic is almost as large as the inner city of Bonn. At the same time, the building complex of the hospital is constantly growing, uniting the past and the future of Germany. The old wall and observation decks of the hospital still resemble the original purpose of a military facility in the past. Many of the historic buildings have been replaced with new, functional homes.

In 1950, the university clinics were moved from the city center in what is now Beethovenhalle to Venusberg. The fresh mountain air and vast forest area have also been appreciated by many of the politicians who have settled on Venusberg since 1949, including Presidents Heinrich Lübcke and Walter Scheel, as well as Herbert Wehner and Willy Brandt.

Surgical and medical clinics were created from two adjacent former command units connected by a large auditorium. At the same time, the outer houses of the Medical Clinic, the "Tuberculosis House" (today the Auenbrüger House) and the "Infection House" (today the Paul Ehrlich House) were relocated. It was followed by an ENT, a gynecological clinic, and in the 50s the first hospital, new buildings, an eye clinic and a skin clinic.

In the late 1950s, the main entrance to the hospital grounds, the arch in the tower building (now the administration), was replaced by the main gate on the west. In the 60s, the territory was expanded to the south and west, first a psychiatric hospital was built there, and in the 70s a neurosurgical clinic.
