In the heart of Bavaria, Augsburg's University Hospital has become a beacon of medical advancement, a journey that began with the influential leadership of Horst Seehofer.

Seehofer, who served as Minister-President of Bavaria, played a pivotal role in the establishment and development of the University Hospital. His long-standing friendship with Kurt Gribl, the then-Mayor of Augsburg, was forged through their shared vision for the University Hospital project.

The historic evening discussing this vision took place in the wine cellar of the AUGSBURG JOURNAL, where Seehofer, accompanied by several CSU members, first proposed the idea of a University Hospital for Augsburg. Gribl, taking Seehofer at his word, initiated the process for the University Hospital's establishment.

Seehofer's suggestion proved to be the catalyst for a successful University Hospital future in Augsburg. His political influence and initiatives were instrumental in advancing the medical faculty and related university hospital infrastructure in the city.

The University of Augsburg honoured Seehofer's contributions to university medicine by awarding him an honorary doctorate. The Medical Faculty of the University of Augsburg bestowed upon him the title of honorary doctor (Dr. h. c.) in recognition of his merits regarding university medical care, which includes the founding and support of the University Hospital.

As the "political father" of the University Hospital in Augsburg, Seehofer's impact on the city's medical landscape is undeniable. While the specifics of his actions and policies during the establishment of the hospital may not be fully documented, his honorary doctorate serves as a testament to his key involvement and leadership role in promoting university medical facilities at Augsburg.

In early 2008, Seehofer visited the editorial office of the AUGSBURG JOURNAL, marking a significant moment in the journey towards the University Hospital. As we look forward to the future, a new magazine titled "Augsburg University Hospital Director Prof. Dr. Klaus Markstaller on the future of medicine" is set to be published, with subscribers receiving the new magazine before everyone else.
