Langenbeck-Virchow-Haus, Architectural heritage monument in Berlin-Mitte, Germany.

The Langenbeck-Virchow-Haus is a five-story neoclassical building at Luisenstraße 58/59, next to the Charité and Humboldt University. Its smooth plastered facade has cornices and stucco work, with two side risalits containing the entrances; above them, niches at the second-floor level hold busts of Bernhard von Langenbeck and Rudolf Virchow. A former central entrance is now a floor-to-ceiling window. The building covers 1,436.70 m² and has 7,000 m² of usable space.

The German Society for Surgery and the Berlin Medical Society commissioned this building, erected in 1914–1915 to plans by Hermann Dernburg; it replaced the smaller Langenbeck-Haus of 1891–1892, the first own home of a German scientific society. During the GDR era it served as the House of the People's Chamber. Since 2003 it has belonged to a joint company of the two medical societies.

The building functions as a gathering place for surgeons and medical professionals who convene for conferences and professional development. It reflects the strong connection between Berlin's medical research community and collaborative practice in the surgical field.

The location sits next to Charité Hospital and Humboldt University with good public transport access. Visitors should note that the building is primarily used for events and advance registration may be required.

The two side entrances on Luisenstraße sit beneath niches holding busts of the building's namesakes, surgeon Bernhard von Langenbeck and pathologist Rudolf Virchow, set at the level of the second floor. The central doorway between them no longer opens; it was walled into a floor-to-ceiling window.
