The Asklepios Klinikum Uckermark (AKU) is a hospital for specialized care and the largest medical facility in the Uckermark district of Brandenburg . As a district hospital, it was inaugurated in 1973 at its current location. It is located in Schwedt / Oder in the street Am Klinikum. The clinic has been part of the private Asklepios Clinic Group since 2005 .
In 2017, 17,455 patients were treated as fully inpatients, 2,444 partially inpatients and 94,815 outpatients. The clinic is an academic teaching hospital of the Pomeranian Medical Academy Stettin (since 2008) and the University Medical Center Greifswald (since 2011). There is a cooperation agreement with the Medical School Uckermark eV for the training of nursing staff. A medical care center (MVZ) with 14 specialist practices has been integrated since 2008 .
history
The beginnings of inpatient treatment in Schwedt can only be partially reconstructed, as many documents in the city archive were destroyed in the Second World War . A hospital is said to have existed as early as 1600. Like many facilities at the time, this was located outside the city in front of the Black (Berlin) Gate because of the risk of epidemics. The sick were partly treated by the surgeons of the Dragoon Regiment, which had been stationed in Schwedt since 1770 . In 1832, a hospital at the Amtshof is mentioned.
The first municipal hospital, from which an unbroken tradition continues to the present day clinic, was completed in 1843. The building was located on Augustinerstrasse, today's Bahnhofstrasse, and initially had a capacity of 43 beds. Although the number of beds at this location was gradually increased to 96, this no longer met the requirements since the mid-1950s at the latest. The increase in population associated with the establishment of the petrochemical combine resulted in a rapid increase in the number of patients. Individual departments were temporarily outsourced. Between 1957 and 1962, obstetrics were housed in a heatable storage building on Gerberstrasse, which had already served as a hospital during the war . The hospital eventually occupied five floors in the eleven-story high-rise on Liberation Square, which was built in the mid-1960s as a workers' hostel and hotel. With all these interim solutions and provisional arrangements, the capacity increased to 329 beds.
On December 20, 1973, the new hospital building, decided in 1964 by the Ministry of Health , with a total of 670 beds at its current location on Auguststrasse was opened. The facility initially was given the status of a district hospital for the old district Angermünde and was founded in 1974 after the previous year in a military coup who have died Chilean physician and politician Salvador Allende named. At the beginning of 1981, the company was upgraded to a district hospital with the provision of care for the entire northern area of the then Frankfurt (Oder) district . This significantly improved the financial framework and the technical equipment. Schwedt was one of the first hospitals to be equipped with the then ultra-modern Barkas SMH 3 ambulance from 1985 for rapid medical assistance .
After German reunification , the city of Schwedt took over the sponsorship of the hospital, which was renamed Klinikum Uckermark on May 8, 1991 . In 1994 it was converted into a GmbH . In 2001, the state hospital plan showed 533 target beds at the Schwedt location. After the last specialist department, the Geriatrics Clinic, had left the old hospital building on Bahnhofstrasse, it was demolished. When the city decided to sell the clinic for financial reasons in 2005, the private hospital operator Asklepios was able to prevail over the competition with its concept.
Architecture and building history
The new hospital building, built between 1968 and 1973 at the current location, was designed by a collective of VEB Baukombinat Leipzig under the direction of Egon Eichner. He used the established concept of reinforced concrete assembly construction in Berlin (SKB). The construction work was in the hands of VEB Bau- und Montagekombinates Ost, Schwedt plant.
The centerpiece of the facility was originally a high-rise building with eight upper floors. The garden front on the first level with balconies was adapted to the needs of the little patients of the children's clinic . In addition to the normal ward , there was a neonatology department for the care of newborns with a pediatric intensive care unit . Functional diagnostics , the delivery room and the interdisciplinary intensive care unit were located on level 2 . Levels 3 to 7 (4th to 8th floors) each contained two wards with an average of 40 beds. To the east of the main building were three three-storey wings, between which two inner courtyards were located and which connected it to a likewise three-storey front building. In addition to the central operating room , which is still located there today , the polyclinic , the clinic secretariats and the dining room were housed there. Two wards, which were prepared for use as an isolation ward for cases of infection, were located in a three-storey building block branching off north of the high-rise. The northern courtyard formed by this and the front building provided space for the covered access to the rescue station located on the ground floor . The ensemble was completed to the north by the adjoining functional wing of the prosecution with a section room . To the north-east of the main wing, a separate building was built, which housed the hospital pharmacy , a public pharmacy and the blood donation center . Functional structures for the technical center with emergency power supply , for the oxygen center , for a storage facility for flammable liquids and a special sewage treatment plant for suspected infectious wastewater were also built on the hospital grounds.
For the conditions of the GDR , the spacious and lavish new construction of the district health center was an exception and underlined the supra-regional importance of the up-and-coming business location Schwedt. The design, originally conceived as a type hospital, has won several awards. At the cost of more than 70 million marks , however, the model was not used for other hospital buildings. Only the Weißwasser district hospital received a new building based on the Schwedt plans, albeit on a much smaller scale.
During the operation, the clinic complex was continuously modernized, which in the 1990s included the replacement of the windows and the gradual renovation of the facades. In 1995/96, the operating theater received a modern staff lock and was expanded by adding an additional operating room with conference rooms below. In 2003, the emergency department moved into new premises in the front building. Nevertheless, after three decades there were clear signs of wear and tear, in addition to the outdated technology, the building no longer met the current fire protection regulations . Accommodation of patients in three to four-bed rooms with external sanitary facilities no longer seemed appropriate. In a first step, an extension in container construction was built on the south side , in which the cardiology wards were outsourced. The geriatrics clinic, which was previously located in Bahnhofstrasse, also moved there. After considering a fundamental modernization of the old building, it was decided to add a new bed block on the east side of the complex. The reasons for this were both financial and technical in nature, since this would have meant renovation during ongoing operations. The symmetrical, four-storey building, built according to the plans of the engineering office Prüfer & Wilke, also includes two green inner courtyards and offers space for eight stations. A low-rise building was built in the north courtyard for the hospital kitchen. Following this, the high-rise building that defines the city skyline was dismantled down to the third floor , completely gutted and refurbished. A modified facade design and massive earthworks on the west side no longer reveal its former character as a prefabricated building. The current entrance area, the central patient admission and the new dining room found their place here, and intensive care medicine also returned to its old area after the reconstruction. For the outpatient surgery department, an extension with a recovery room was built between the operating theater and the wards. After the central laboratory had already been given new premises in the basement of the front building, the clinic pharmacy also moved there after several extensions were built.
