Personal Medical Philosophy
“Chronic ENT disorders, structural airway issues, or auditory canal narrowings significantly compromise a person’s everyday wellbeing and performance. In my specialized clinical practice, I explicitly reject assembly-line medicine. My absolute priority is to synchronize maximum scientific diligence with a transparent, comforting environment for my patients. I ensure we thoroughly review every single anatomical option—ranging from non-invasive therapies to high-precision laser microsurgery—so that you feel perfectly secure and fully empowered throughout your healing journey.”
— Prof. Dr. med. Christoph Klingmann
Outpatients Treated Annually
The Specialized ENT Practice in Munich
Led by Professor Christoph Klingmann, this premier German center stands at the forefront of specialized otorhinolaryngological care. The clinic serves a massive international volume, delivering highly focused interventions for structural sinus pathology, advanced inner ear injuries, and reconstructive plastic surgery of the face.
✓ Seamless international coordination ensures kliniki.de patients receive swift medical assessments, ultra-precise imaging, and state-of-the-art microsurgical care under strict German quality guidelines.
Scientific Recognition
Primary Research Focus
Barotrauma of the Inner Ear, Cochleovestibular Physiology, and Diving Accident Management
Professor Klingmann is an internationally cited authority on hyperbaric ENT manifestations. His extensive retrospective studies and clinical guidelines have standardized the treatment of decompression sickness, Eustachian tube dysfunctions, and complex external auditory canal remodeling worldwide.
University of Heidelberg / University of Göttingen
The elite German “Habilitation” status proves the doctor is authorized to teach other ENT surgeons. Patients are treated directly by the scientific source—a master surgeon who establishes international protocols rather than simply copying them.
Quality Assurance and Clinical Systems Optimization
This advanced management background translates into impeccable perioperative safety protocols, optimal logistics, and zero redundant or opaque diagnostic billings for cross-border medical travelers.

Completes his full medical education at Heidelberg University, combining academic training with clinical rotations and developing an early interest in ENT diseases and diving medicine. Successfully passes the German state medical examination (Ärztliches Staatsexamen) and obtains his licence to practise medicine.
Works at the university ENT department (HNO clinic) in Heidelberg, progressing to senior physician, heading an allergy outpatient clinic, and building extensive experience in ENT surgery and the management of allergic disorders.
Publishes extensively in international journals, focusing on the impact of scuba diving on the inner ear and hearing, decompression-related disorders, and quality of life in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis; his studies appear in specialist ENT and diving medicine journals.
Concludes his professional chapter at the university ENT clinic in Heidelberg; in his curriculum vitae, he highlights this as a key milestone marking the end of his work at this academic centre.
Moves to Bremen and takes over responsibility for the section of diving medicine and the ENT clinic (including plastic procedures) at DIAKO Bremen, where he is in charge of caring for divers and developing a specialised ENT service
Continues at DIAKO Bremen as a lead senior physician, combining practical ENT surgery, management of diving-related complications, and ongoing scientific work
Relocates to Munich and starts seeing patients as an otorhinolaryngologist at the HNO Praxis im Luitpoldblock, where he consults on ear, nose, and throat conditions, performs specialised ENT procedures and plastic interventions in the ENT region, and treats patients with allergic diseases; public profiles also mention additional training in health economics at master’s level
