The Altona Children's Hospital ( company : AKK Altonaer Kinderkrankenhaus gGmbH ) in the Hamburg district of Ottensen has been a specialist hospital for children and adolescents with 206 beds since 1859 . In addition, 31 places are available for semi-inpatient treatments. Since 2006 it has been a subsidiary of the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE).

history

Beginnings until 1914

In January 1859 initiated Emma Poel and Ida Lempfert in time to Denmark belonging Altona a collection of the "feminine Association for poor and the sick in Altona" in favor of a local children's hospital. At the same time as this campaign, a "committee" tried to raise funds for the construction and operation of such a facility. Differences about the future organizational position and content orientation of the children's hospital meant that the two initiative groups went their separate ways. The "committee" around the merchant Georg Heinrich Sieveking (1800-1878), the doctor Caspar Theodor Kraus (1826-1892) and the pharmacist Herman Siemsen (1794-1870) founded an association on March 4, 1859, which is responsible for the establishment and made the sponsorship of the children's hospital a task.

The children's hospital was opened on May 24, 1859 at Große Wilhelminenstraße  11 (today Chemnitzstraße ). Initially, six beds were available, but this number increased to eleven in the first year. The permanent staff initially consisted of a housemother and a nurse, and in the course of the first year a second nurse and a maid were added. No permanent doctor was responsible for medical care; it was provided free of charge by Caspar Theodor Kraus. On September 6, 1859, the outpatient clinic for the needy and those seeking advice began its activities. It also provided its services free of charge.

The desire for larger rooms and the need to be able to adequately isolate patients with infectious diseases motivated them to buy a house in Blücherstrasse as early as 1866 . The children's hospital stayed there until 1882. The number of beds rose from 18 to 45 during this period. As early as 1871 it was foreseeable that the general availability of space and the possibilities to prevent the spread of highly infectious diseases would remain inadequate at the new location. In 1881 the sponsoring association therefore acquired a piece of land between Schauenburger Strasse (today Schomburgstrasse ) and Grosse Bergstrasse . The front building on Grosse Bergstrasse, a former residential building, was converted and hospital barracks were built in the inner courtyard . The children's hospital now had 60 or 68 places. The new house was ready to move into in July 1882. In addition to the polyclinic, an infant care and mothers advice center started its work in 1906 with the support of the city.

The demand for beds continued to rise, and bottlenecks were already evident in the 1890s. In the first decade of the 20th century, those responsible for the children's hospital discussed extensive new building plans. The city of Altona gave the association 16,000 square meters in an undeveloped area on Tresckowallee (today Bleickenallee ). The total costs of the new building amounted to 800,000  marks , of which the city took over 100,000 marks. The Altona support institute from 1799 contributed 500,000 marks , an Altona bank that had repeatedly contributed to the costs of the children's hospital in earlier decades. The plan to accommodate an infant ward on one floor of the new children's hospital was unnecessary because Richard Henry von Donner, owner of the successful Conrad Hinrich Donner Bank , gave the children's hospital a mortgage worth 350,000 marks. With these funds, an infant home could also be built on the grounds of the children's hospital , which was operated together with the children's hospital. The groundbreaking took place in August 1912, the inauguration ceremony took place on June 24, 1914, the patients moved from Grosse Bergstrasse to their final location on Tresckowallee on July 18, 1914. There was now a “loosely arranged group building with connecting wings” a mixture of pavilion and corridor construction.

A convalescent home in Döse has also been part of the children's hospital since 1910 . It was a gift from Conrad Hinrich Donner , who had previously made it possible for 60 children to relax there every year.

1914 to 1945

The nursing home had 60 beds when it opened. 70 of the 130 beds in the children's hospital were misappropriated from January 1915 due to the war , because a reserve hospital was set up in the children's hospital. The management of this hospital lay with Bernhard Grüneberg , who had been the medical director of the children's hospital since 1888. Grüneberg's double function was made possible because he was a medical officer in the Landwehr .

During the period of inflation and hyperinflation , the children's hospital had to be supported with funds from the Reich, the state and provinces. The city of Altona also supported the house. In 1924, considerations arose to nationalize the children's hospital . These plans failed because private donors raised a total of 30,000  marks . The high level of municipal participation in the operating costs led city representatives to join the board of the sponsoring association. Mayor Max Brauer was one of them . In the 1920s, the children's hospital at Bleickenallee 38 behind the city ​​hospital rose to become a second health center. In addition to the inpatient offers, it worked through its polyclinic, the mother and baby advice center, the non-stationary quartz lamp irradiation to combat rickets , the milk kitchen , the school enrollment examinations and the convalescent home in Döse near Cuxhaven . These effects were further enhanced by the close proximity to the maternity hospital in Bülowstrasse , which was inaugurated in 1920.

In 1931 a separate infection house was put into operation, the plans of which had already taken shape in 1928. It was supposed to overcome the shortage of space in the isolation ward. This succeeded - capacities were increased fivefold. The building designed by Erich Elingius in the style of the New Building comprised 102 patient and 26 staff beds. The total costs amounted to 965,000 marks, which were raised by the Free State of Prussia , the city of Altona and donations from citizens. In 1956/57 the originally three-storey building was given an additional storey, the existing storeys were rebuilt and some of them were functionally rededicated.

In 1933, Bernhard Grüneberg resigned from his position as medical director. The sponsoring association was redesigned according to the leader principle . A new statute of 1942 restricted the treatment contract to "children and infants of German or related blood". In 1942 the name of the facility was changed to Altona Children's Hospital . The buildings were spared damage from the effects of war.

Second half of the 20th century

The 1950s were characterized by structural and technical renovations. In the anniversary year of 1959, the children's hospital had 400 beds, twelve doctors looked after the patients, and 115 full-time nurses and study nurses. Another 95 people worked in the areas of administration, technology, housekeeping and laboratories. The polyclinic was closed in the 1950s, the co-insurance of children in the statutory health insurance made this form of care appear obsolete.

Even the Altona Children's Hospital was affected by increasing nursing shortage in the 1950s and 1960s, the nationwide in a serious crisis of sororities put it. Initially, since 1875, sisters from the Evangelical Lutheran Diakonissenanstalt for Schleswig-Holstein in Altona had taken on care. In later years DRK sororities provided the staff, then those of the Helenenstift , and finally, around 1920, the DRK sorority vom Schlump . The personnel problems could only be solved when a separate nursing school and a company kindergarten were established. The construction of a nurses' home in the immediate vicinity also helped. In the period that followed, more and more nurses were employed directly in the children's hospital, and the era of the DRK sisterhood there ended there in 1983 for good.

The 1970s were associated with expansion and modernization projects in the Altona children's hospital, including in the operating theater . In the following decade, the house was forced to give up beds in accordance with the Hamburg hospital plan. At times it fought for its existence, five of the ten hospitals for children or children's wards in Hamburg survived, including the Altona children's hospital. In 1994 the first "satellite station" of the Altona Children's Hospital was built in the Albertinen Hospital in Hamburg-Schnelsen . New and premature babies born there have been cared for by staff from the children's hospital since then. A second "satellite station" has existed since 1996 in AK Altona (today Asklepios Klinik Altona ). The neonatal intensive care unit in the perinatal center (PNZ) works closely with the obstetrics ward of the Asklepios Klinik Altona. An intermediate care area for newborn monitoring has been expanding the range of services there since 2004. The PNZ of the highest level of care ( Level I ) is particularly geared towards the needs of sick newborns and premature babies.

In 2000, work began on the new West Building , now known as the Central Building. This connecting structure provided space for medical wards, a new operating theater wing , pediatric orthopedics , the emergency room and X-ray diagnostics . There were also outpatient clinic consultation rooms and a helicopter landing pad on the roof . The city funded the building, which connected the main building at that time (so-called H-house) and the former infection building (I-house), with 34.2 million  DM ; it was inaugurated in April 2004.

Crisis in 2002 and development since then

At the end of 2002, the children's hospital ran into financial difficulties, and the press reported about a possible bankruptcy and closure of the facility. The clinic management at the time countered the rumors, but made it clear that in 2003, due to the conversion of the billing system to case- based flat rates, considerable financial problems were to be expected. An austerity program foresaw the impending deficit of 2.4 million  euros to push through a package of measures in half. These measures included fundraising , senior executives being waived wages , changed working time models , modified departmental structures, early retirement and partial retirement . In February 2003 the search for a strategic partner began . In November 2003 this partner was determined: The University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) took over the management of the Altona children's hospital, and a management company in which the UKE held 94 percent of the shares, the Altona Children's Hospital von 1859 e. V. 6 percent. At the same time, the UKE was granted a purchase option. After this collaboration was agreed, 50 positions were cut in the children's hospital, certain double medical capacities were concentrated at one location, and in 2003 employees waived 80 percent of the Christmas bonus .

After the renovation goals were quickly achieved, the UKE exercised its purchase option. In mid-2005 it was taken over by the children's hospital for a symbolic euro . The Federal Cartel Office had previously agreed , and the city also agreed to the transfer of the property. Since September 1st, 2006, the Altona Children's Hospital has been an independent subsidiary of the UKE. With this connection to the UKE, the largest children's clinic in Germany at the time was created.

Since 2005 there has been a cooperation with an inpatient facility in Geesthacht to operate an early rehabilitation ward in the Altona children's hospital. The first pediatric medical care center in the Hamburg area started its work in September 2006, and since then it has been providing care for chronically ill children in close cooperation with the hospital. A third “satellite” of the Altona Children's Hospital was created in July 2008: In the Pinneberg Clinic (now part of the Sana Clinics ), the Hamburg facility provides the staff for the children's department, including the emergency room. The importance of pediatric orthopedics in the Altona Children's Hospital was underlined in 2011 by the establishment of the first nationwide chair in this field.

The Altona Children's Hospital officially opened its "airport" in April 2011, construction of which began in December 2009. The facility, which is used to care for young ventilated patients , cost 6.7 million euros; The federal and state governments raised just under 6 million euros, and around 800,000 euros came from donations. Such a special facility for children was missing in northern Germany up to this point. Due to the utilization of the airport, an extension of seven additional patient beds was decided in 2015. The Ronald McDonald House at the Altona Children's Hospital opened in December 2014 . It is intended for families of seriously ill children who are treated in the children's hospital. The new cafeteria also started operations in December 2014. In June 2016, two newly built operating theaters were inaugurated to expand capacities. In December 2016, the children's hospital opened its expanded “air port” premises. In December 2017, the foundation stone was laid for the new interdisciplinary emergency room (INA), which opened on April 4, 2019.

building

location

The buildings of the Altona Children's Hospital are located on an area in Hamburg-Ottensen that is bordered by Bleickenallee to the south, Grünebergstraße to the west and Lisztstraße to the north . To the east is the Lankenaustift site and the former maternity hospital in Bülowstrasse , and to the north of Bülowstrasse is a bunker and a playground.

Single building

The old main building with the old main entrance is known as the H-Haus , it is parallel to Bleickenallee . Today it offers space for hospital administration, rehabilitation and a training center. The S-Haus is to the left or to the west of it . The nursing home used to be located here, today the medical care center and the pediatric day clinic with a psychosomatic focus are housed here.

Between the H-house and the S-house , but especially north of the H-house , is the new west building , now known as the central building. It contains rooms for outpatient departments, intensive care units, day clinics and orthopedics. The central building crosses Bülowstrasse .

At the north end of the central building, to the east, is the old house I , formerly called the Infection House. Four stations are housed here. It is north of Bülowstrasse . To the north of the I-Haus there is an expansion complex under construction, which should be completed by the end of 2019.

The cafeteria and the Ronald McDonald house are located behind the east wing of the old main building ( H-Haus ) .

The “airport” is located in the north-western area of ​​the site, part of the building runs parallel to Grünebergstrasse . The "corridor laboratory" has been the northeastern end of the building ensemble since 2012.

There is a children's playground in the inner courtyard.

Monument protection

The H-Haus and S-Haus , both built before World War I, were architecturally designed by Curt Francke. He used red clinker brick for the facade , while the windows are predominantly white. North German mansions served as models . The building is considered an example of reform architecture . The efforts to respond to the needs of young patients can be seen in details, for example in the architectural jewelry. A number of playful and fairytale-like motifs on the outer facade underline this relationship.

In October 2000, today's H-Haus and S-Haus were placed under monument protection. Neighboring buildings were also awarded and protected at the same time: the former women's clinic and bunker in Bülowstrasse , the Hohenzollernring high school and the Lankenaustift. The ensemble is considered an important document for Altona urban development and social history . The special artistic design of the individual facilities is also one of the reasons for their permanent preservation.
