Questions

How many French-speaking doctors are there in Germany?
We list 698, in 7 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source, not the number that exists.
Which city has the most?
Hamburg, with 674 of the 698.
Is French unusual for doctors in Germany?
18% of the 3782 doctors we hold in Germany are recorded as working in French. Most of them come from the Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Hamburg, Hamburg's statutory doctors' association, a register that records the languages each provider offers, so the figure reflects who that register covers, not only who speaks what.
