Naturally, mail can be sent from, and received at, UH Essen. Simply hand your outgoing mail, franked with stamps to the required value, to our nursing staff, and we'll do the rest. Alternatively, you'll find the nearest post office mailbox outside the premises on Hufelandstrasse, right outside the Administration Building.

To enable letters or packages to reach you as quickly as possible, please ask your family and friends to include not just your name, but also the name of the department ("Klinik"), the ward number and your room number.

Example:
Josephine Bloggs
c/o Universitätsklinikum Essen
Traumatology / Unfallchirugie Ward UC 3
Room 121
45122 Essen, Germany

In the case of packages (as opposed to letters) please use postcode 45147 instead of 45122.
