Kempten: Klinikverbund Allgäu gGmbH - Klinikum Kempten
Kempten sits on the Iller River in Bavaria’s Allgäu region, where the northern Alpine foothills open into rolling uplands. Klinikum Kempten is a major healthcare site within Klinikverbund Allgäu, positioned in a city whose built-up districts extend across the Iller valley. Kempten’s roots reach back to Cambodunum, a Roman settlement; its archaeological park preserves evidence of the provincial town. The medieval town developed around the princely abbey of Kempten, while the former imperial city formed a separate community until the early 19th century. Today, the city combines regional services, education and commerce with the landscapes of the Allgäu close by.

Kempten combines Roman foundations with an active Allgäu townscape in a way that reflects its position on the Iller River in southern Bavaria. The town grew from Cambodunum, a Roman settlement whose remains are preserved in the Archaeological Park Cambodunum, including a temple precinct, baths and residential structures. Later, Kempten developed around two distinct powers: the Free Imperial City and the Prince-Abbey of Kempten. Baroque St. Lorenz Basilica and the adjacent Residenz recall the abbey’s presence, while the historic centre remains the social focus. The nearby Allgäu foothills place the city within a region shaped by Alpine approaches rather than Bavaria’s larger urban corridors.

Built around the early medieval Duchy of Bavaria, Bavaria grew into Germany’s largest federal state. The Danube crosses its broad centre, while the Bavarian Alps form its southern edge and include the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. Munich is the state capital and the home of Oktoberfest, a festival rooted in an 1810 royal wedding. Beyond the metropolis, Franconia’s vineyards, Swabian towns and Alpine resorts reveal how varied this part of Germany can be.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
