A specialist workshop in Bonn with a clear mission: we recover the data and devices that others have long given up on. Personal, transparent, and backed by over a decade of experience.






From our first repair workstation in Bonn to the largest data recovery community in the German-speaking world – a journey shaped by precision and patience.
Handyarzt began as a response to a growing frustration: smartphones were becoming increasingly complex, while genuine repair expertise was becoming harder to find. In a small workshop in central Bonn, we focused on what customers were missing – honest diagnosis, transparent prices, and repairs that last.
Building our own data recovery lab was the logical next step: too many devices arrived with water or drop damage whose data had long been considered lost elsewhere. Since then, we have been recovering photos, chats, and documents right here in Bonn – without involving third parties.
Investments in microscopes, infrared soldering equipment, and chip programmers made logic board repair our second core service. Instead of routinely replacing expensive assemblies, we work at component level – with millimeter precision, targeting individual components, often where manufacturers have already declared a device beyond repair.
Our YouTube channel has become the leading German-language resource for data recovery. Over 350.000 people now follow Handyarzt on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram – watching us bring seemingly dead devices back to life.
Today, we work in Bonn’s centrally located Sterntorhaus – transparently, with an open workshop and direct customer contact. More than 120.000 repairs and data recoveries later, our approach remains the same as on day one: when others give up, we get started.

“Repairing rather than replacing is our philosophy. In our workshop, we combine craftsmanship with microscope-based diagnostics – turning seemingly dead devices into recovered data and working smartphones.”
Four principles by which every repair and every data recovery we perform must be measured.
We treat every device as if it held our own memories. No work begins without a clear agreement.
We solder at component level and reconstruct data paths where others simply declare a device beyond repair.
Fixed prices, clear diagnosis, no unexpected costs. If recovery is not possible, we tell you openly.
No call center, no middleman. You speak directly with the technicians working on your device.
Our branch is right in the heart of Bonn. Bring your device in person – we will look at it together and give you an honest initial assessment.

Over 350.000 people follow us on social media. On YouTube, we show how we recover devices – honestly, in real life, without filters.
Whether you need data recovery, board-level repair, or a simple diagnosis – contact us for an honest assessment.
