history
On October 14, 1898, the "Sophienheilstätte" was founded in Bad Berka in the Munich district . The name was dedicated to the late Grand Duchess Sophie of Orange-Nassau . The sanatorium was a spa facility for the treatment of tuberculosis sufferers . By 1911 the number of beds had increased to 200.
From 1924 the conversion of the health resort into a clinical health center began. For this purpose, new treatment rooms were created, laboratories built and X-ray machines procured. New treatment methods and corresponding surgical interventions for lung patients were introduced.
In 1950 the GDR Ministry of Health planned to build a new ward block with 570 beds on the Harth. Adolf Tegtmeier , chief physician at the Sophienheilstätte since 1934, played a major role in its realization . The future tasks of the clinic were soon to go beyond treating lung patients. In the 1950s, tuberculosis lost its character of a people's epidemic, especially due to the antibiotic therapy that had now become possible . In 1957, after five years of construction, the new clinic was completed, which was also the first new clinic in the GDR. It was renamed from “Sophienheilstätte” to “Central Clinic for Lung Diseases and Tuberculosis”. In 1966 the Central Clinic was recognized as the GDR's fifth official heart center. In 1973, the medical range was expanded to include a urological and an orthopedic department, which were located in Munich. In 1974 the name was changed to “Central Clinic for Heart and Lung Diseases”.
During the GDR era, the central clinic maintained a children's holiday camp in Neuendorf am See for the children of its employees .
In October 1990 the Thuringian Ministry of Social Affairs and Health , which was initially responsible for the central clinic, signed a cooperation agreement with Rhön-Klinikum AG, with Rhön-Klinikum AG owning 75% of the shares. At the same time, the clinic received a supply contract from the state of Thuringia for the areas of pneumology , cardiology , thoracic and vascular surgery , neurosurgery , orthopedics and urology. The urological department was transferred to the Blankenhain district hospital in 1992 . In the 1990s, the clinic was rebuilt and rebuilt, for example a new ward block with 488 beds or a center for intensive care medicine. With the completion of the construction work, a nuclear medicine department and Thuringia's only cross-sectional center could be accommodated. In 2004 the clinic was expanded to include another six medical departments.
The architecturally valuable Sophienheilstätte Munich has been empty since 1994 and is left to decay.
