Gottingen: UMG Universitätsmedizin Göttingen
Built around a medieval market settlement, Göttingen grew into a university city in southern Lower Saxony. Universitätsmedizin Göttingen (UMG) forms a major clinical and research campus on the city’s northern side, bringing together the University of Göttingen’s medical teaching and patient care. The city lies in the Leine valley, with the wooded Göttingen Forest rising to the east. Founded in 1737, the University of Göttingen has shaped local life for generations, from the compact centre around the Gänseliesel fountain to academic institutes across the city. UMG places this long university tradition within a contemporary district of hospitals, housing and transport links.

Göttingen sits on the River Leine in southern Lower Saxony, Germany, where the wooded slopes of the Göttingen Forest rise immediately east of the city. The Georg-August University, founded in 1737, has shaped local life for nearly three centuries and given Göttingen an international academic profile; numerous Nobel laureates have studied or taught here. In the pedestrian centre, the half-timbered Old Town preserves the medieval town hall, while the Gänseliesel fountain on the market square remains a familiar civic emblem. The Leine valley leads into open countryside, with the Weser Uplands extending beyond the city.
