Institute of Forensic Medicine at Münster University Hospital, Outpatient Clinic for Victims of Violence (Institut für Rechtsmedizin des Universitätsklinikums Münster, Gewaltopferambulanz)
Physical violence leaves traces. They can be recorded before they fade. We provide fast, confidential and unbureaucratic help in our outpatient clinic. Specially trained doctors carry out physical examinations of victims of violence, document their injuries and secure the evidence. The findings of our doctors can be used as evidence in court and can be of great help.
