In its first year, the hospital had thirty beds, performed 93 surgeries and treated about 600 outpatients. From 1872 to 1883 the hospital moved to a new complex of buildings in the city center of Bonn, where today the Beethoven Concert Hall stands, and after [[World War II]] to the [[Bonn#Districts|Venusberg]] on the western edge of Bonn. On 1 January 2001 the university hospital became a public corporation. Although the university hospital is since then independent from the university, the School of Medicine of the University of Bonn and the university hospital closely collaborate. Today the university hospital comprises about thirty individual hospitals, employs more than 990 physicians and more than 1,100 nursing and clinical support staff and treated about 50,000 inpatients.<ref>{{cite web |author=Universitätsklinikum Bonn |title=Homepage of the University Hospital Bonn |url=http://www.ukb.uni-bonn.de |access-date=8 February 2008}}
