The Congress will take place in the historic house Langenbeck Virchow Haus, which rose in the early 20th, as the seat of the German Surgical Society and the Berlin Chamber of Physicians. A magnificent lecture hall was built there, which recently recovered its original glow. In the GDR times, the medical societies were banned form the building which was requisitioned by the East German parliament for some time. It returned to its original owners in 2003.
