The Katharinenhospital is the largest hospital in the Stuttgart region . In 1999 the Katharinenhospital was merged with the three other city hospitals - the Bürgerhospital , the Olgahospital and the Bad Cannstatt Hospital including the women's clinic - to form the Stuttgart Clinic . The Stuttgart Clinic is owned by the state capital Stuttgart . 2014 Olga Hospital and Women's Hospital were also spatially integrated into the St. Catherine Hospital, 2015 followed by the Civil Hospital ..

The Katharinenhospital is a maximum care hospital and in 2012 (excluding the clinics to be added in the future) had more than 1,300 beds and treated almost 65,000 cases per year. In 2013, the staff consisted of almost 700 doctors and over 1,300 nurses. The Katharinenhospital also serves as the academic teaching hospital of the Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen .

The hospital was built in 1820–1827 as the first general hospital in the city of Stuttgart and was constantly rebuilt and expanded until it was destroyed in 1944. 1957–1967 the hospital was rebuilt and in 1993 the functional building was added. Since 2005, the hospital has been modernized and prepared for the concentration of locations through renovations and new buildings, in which the Olgahospital, women's clinic and community hospital are integrated into the Katharinenhospital. The new headquarters building is to be built by 2022, replacing the functional building and providing space for six medical centers.

The buildings belonging to the Katharinenhospital complex are not systematically numbered or numbered. Some buildings are identified by letters, others by numbers. Example: The urological clinic is located in house 8, the ENT clinic in house D. The houses are not arranged in the order of the numbering, but rather scattered across the site. Example: The Sana Heart Clinic (house 33) is in the immediate vicinity of the pathology department (house 5a). The mix of numbering and the seemingly random arrangement of the buildings make it difficult to find one's way around the hospital grounds.

The abundant information signs inside the building also lack a clear system. The house in which a clinic or department is located is not always given. References to clinics or departments in other buildings are often missing or only appear after a long journey. This is annoying for patients who can walk well, and a serious obstacle for disabled and debilitated patients. The arrangement of the many elevators is also not easy to see through. The only way out is often the friendly help of the Green Ladies and Gentlemen, who also support patients on their way through the clinic.

The situation in the entrance hall is symptomatic: “Back there, in the darker part [of the entrance hall], there are also the elevators; many visitors do not discover it by themselves, and some get lost in one of the laboratories to ask for directions - apparently the information and orientation system (Atelier Stankowski and Duschk ) sometimes doesn't help either. "

A list of clinics, institutes and centers can be found on the Katharinen Hospital website. Most, if not all, facilities are listed there. Under “Directions” you can use the items “Your way in the hospital” and “Building plan” to find out where the facility you are looking for is located. However, a standardized site plan is often displayed as the building plan, on which the desired location is not marked.

history

At the beginning of the 19th century, Stuttgart, which had a population of 20,000 at the time, only had a few hundred hospital beds, which were scattered across several hospitals and social institutions. These included u. a. the following houses:

  • the Bürgerhospital (old people's home, hospital),
  • the military hospital (hospital),

  • the ducal nursing home (hospital),
  • the Seelhaus (hostel, maternity ward)
  • and the infirmary (hospital).

Old building

The shortage of hospital beds was to be remedied in the late 1790s by building a new hospital or expanding an existing house. However, funding problems and unclear responsibilities thwarted these plans. In 1817 King Wilhelm I decided to have a new hospital and birthing facility built to meet needs. The external reason for the swift implementation of the project was the sudden death of the socially committed Queen Katharina von Württemberg in 1819, to whom a memorial was to be erected with the hospital. The estimated construction costs of almost 250,000 guilders were financed by the king, a donation committee, the state treasury and the city.

From 1820 to 1827 the new 230-bed hospital was built according to the plans of Nikolaus Friedrich von Thouret on the corner of Kriegsbergstrasse and Herdweg. In the year the foundation stone was laid in 1820, the previous St. Katharinenhospital was renamed the Bürgerhospital, so that the new hospital could be baptized in the name of the late Queen Katharina ("Catharinen Hospital"). The opening of the hospital took place on January 9, 1828, the ninth anniversary of the death of Queen Katharina, who gave her name.

The hospital was about 90 meters wide, the two side wings were about 40 meters long. It was built in a simple classical style as a three-story three-wing building and crowned by a hipped roof . The wide central wing was characterized by a central risalit that ended with a triangular gable. The protruding side wings and the middle wing enclosed a courtyard open to the front. The central building consisted of 15 window axes at the front, five of which were distributed over the central projectile and the two intermediate structures, the side wings each had three axes on the front.

In the decades after it was founded, the hospital was continuously expanded and additional buildings were added. When the hospital was founded in 1828, it had 230 beds and 100 years later it had 635 beds. During the Second World War, the Katharinenhospital, which at that time had 720 beds, was almost completely destroyed in several bomb attacks on July 25 and 26, 1944.

In the years 1957–1967 the Katharinenhospital was restored or rebuilt by the architectural group Döcker , Eisenlohr and Müller. In addition to the main building (House A and B), a large number of other clinics were built.

Functional building

In 1992/1993, the architects Heinle, Wischer und Partner built the significantly lower, five-story, functional new building (House E) between Kriegsbergstrasse and the (up to ten storeys high) "bed block, which used to determine the street view of the hospital," central entrance area rearranges the access to the conglomerate of old buildings. "

“From the outside, the new building looks so compact and low that visitors entering the high, airy hall, which extends over all floors and opens up like a huge winter garden behind the entrance, are not prepared for the first time. "Winter garden" describes exactly the building physics principle that the architects had in mind when designing the concept: the hall, which is vaulted by a glass barrel roof, is not air-conditioned, but serves as a climate buffer for the treatment rooms and laboratories all around, which are all illuminated and ventilated through it. A grove of eucalyptus trees, basalt pavement and a small watercourse create a pretty, if somewhat sparse, reminiscence of the garden of the Karharinen Hospital, which was once here and (much to the chagrin of the employees) had to be sacrificed for the new building. "

Site concentration

In 2005, the City Council of Stuttgart decided to reorganize the four municipal clinics Katharinenhospital, Olgahospital , Bürgerhospital and Bad Cannstatt Hospital (including the gynecological clinic), which had been merged into the Stuttgart Clinic in 1999 . The aim of the reorganization was to concentrate the Stuttgart Clinic on the two locations Katharinenhospital and Bad Cannstatt Hospital and to integrate the Olgahospital, the women's clinic and the Bürgerhospital into the Katharinenhospital. The originally estimated investment amount of around € 800 million has now grown to € 950 million (as of 2014).

The modernization process saw u. a. the following construction measures:

  • Education and supply center, house 35, Hegelstraße 4, completion: 2007.
  • Service center supply / technology with the energy center, house 36, Panoramastraße 11.
  • Service center (DLZ) with administration and hospital management, Sattlerstrasse 25, completion: 2009.
  • Children's center (former Olgahospital) and women's clinic, between Jägerstrasse and Panoramastrasse, investment volume € 330 million, completion: 2014.
  • Central new building (ZNB) with main entrance, entrance hall and connecting hall to the ward blocks, conversion of the functional areas in the ward blocks, new building of House E.
The new central building will include six medical centers: the Center for Internal Medicine, the Center for Operative Medicine, the Center for Anesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine, the Neurocenter, the Center for Radiology as well as the Clinic for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and the Eye Clinic, Estimated investment amount: € 323 million, House F, Kriegsbergstrasse, planned completion: 2022.

There were also plans to build a clinic in Kuwait and tens of millions of dollars in corruption , which led to public prosecutor searches in 2018.
