The Asklepios Klinik St. Georg , until 2005 General Hospital St. Georg , is a medium-sized clinic in Hamburg-St. Georg, the only one in the city center of Hamburg. It is the teaching hospital of the University of Hamburg and the Semmelweis University.

history

The hospital was built from 1821 to 1823 by Carl Ludwig Wimmel based on what was then modern. It replaced the hospital on Hamburger Berg, which burned down in 1814, and was Hamburg's first municipal hospital. It is not identical to the medieval St. Georg Hospital , which existed as an old people's home until 1951 .

The number of beds used to be 1,088 and in 1856 it was increased to 1,800. From 1898 to 1915 the hospital was heavily rebuilt according to plans by Friedrich Ruppel .

Today the clinic has 732 beds. The clinic treats 58,000 outpatients and 29,000 inpatients per year.

Until it was privatized, the hospital was the sole responsibility of the city, before a minority of the company's shares were sold to Asklepios Kliniken in 2004 . Since 2007, the city of Hamburg has only held a blocking minority of 25.1% in the hospital company.

The Asklepios Campus Hamburg is located on the clinic premises. The training center was founded in 2008 in cooperation with Semmelweis University and is operated by Asklepios Medical School GmbH. The campus offers the clinical part of the German-language medical course at Semmelweis University.

The radiology memorial , which has been expanded several times since 1936, is located in the hospital garden . The list begins with Albers-Schönberg, after whom today's Institute for X-ray Diagnostics at AK St. Georg is named.
