history
Until 1945
In 1872 the first Munich Red Cross Sisters started their care work in rented rooms in Salvatorstrasse. Only a few years later, due to the large number of patients, a larger house was purchased in Schwabinger Türkenstrasse, but these rooms too soon became too small. Therefore, in 1887, the sisterhood signed the purchase contract for the building site on Nymphenburger Strasse , the final location of the hospital. In May 1892, after a two-year construction period , the hospital, which is run as an in-house doctor's clinic , was officially opened for a total sum of around € 550,000 . In 1905 the hospital was expanded to include the so-called Winthir or Prince Wing, and the number of beds rose to 235. During the First World War , part of the building served as a reserve hospital .
In May 1916, the Red Cross nurses opened the maternity home on Taxisstrasse, the forerunner of the later women's clinic.
Between the world wars, the Red Cross Hospital came into great economic hardship due to hyperinflation ; it threatened to be closed or sold. This crisis could only be averted through the personal sacrifices of the sisters. A few months before the end of World War II , several Allied incendiary and high-explosive bombs destroyed the hospital and all the buildings of the sisterhood to the ground. In spite of this, up to 40 patients were soon cared for in the rubble under the most primitive conditions. The operation was carried out in the basement exposed by the bomb debris.
After 1945
Reconstruction began shortly after the end of the war. In 1951 the first construction phase with 100 hospital beds, temporary operating theaters , a laboratory, the kitchen with the nurses' dining room and the hospital chapel was completed. Up until 1965, new construction phases were added piece by piece. When completed, the Red Cross Clinic comprised 500 hospital beds and 70 beds for newborns. This number of beds was reduced in later years due to modernization measures. In 1993, the total renovation of the Red Cross Hospital began in several construction phases, which was completed in August 2008 and cost around € 89 million. In 2005, the Sisterhood converted the Red Cross Clinic, together with the Red Cross Women's Clinic in Taxisstrasse, into the legal form of a non-profit clinic company, the BRK Sisterhood of Health Center Munich gGmbH . A year later, the Rotkreuzklinikum and the gynecological clinic were merged to form the Rotkreuzklinikum München, and the supporting company was renamed Rotkreuzklinikum München gGmbH. At the same time, the level of care was raised: the clinic has been a center of care ever since.
