Question 1

What is the history and background of Kinderwunsch Bremen?

Accepted Answer

Kinderwunsch Bremen was founded in 1997 by Dr. Achim von Stutterheim, who introduced intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) to Bremen in 1995 and led the department of reproductive medicine at the Evangelische Diakonieanstalt. The clinic celebrated its first successful IVF birth in September 1998 and its first ICSI birth a month later, followed by pioneering cryopreserved embryo transfers and testicular sperm extraction (TESE) in the subsequent year. In April 2019, medical leadership transitioned to Dr. Christoph Grewe and Tanja Finger, both specialists in gynäkologische Endokrinologie und Reproduktionsmedizin. Over more than two decades, the centre has grown into a multidisciplinary practice with four physicians, a dedicated IVF laboratory, hormone lab, and a team of biologists and support staff, maintaining a reputation for innovative assisted reproduction in the Bremen region.
