history
King Frederick William IV. Suggested in 1841 in which seven special hospitals in Berlin to a garrison hospital merge. Between 1850 and 1853 the construction of the garrison hospital I began on the grounds of the Invalidenpark. From August 23, 1853, the hospital with 518 beds was in operation. During the Weimar Republic , the security police took over the hospital under the name “Central Hospital of the Berlin Police and the German Reich”. From 1926 the first laboratory for the systematic examination and assessment of the blood alcohol concentration in the world was located in the hospital . From 1931, an infirmary for prisoners of the police was established in the State Police Hospital. During the time of National Socialism , the hospital was only accessible to police officers and their relatives.
People's Police Hospital
After the Second World War , the administration of the Soviet occupation zone handed the hospital over to the newly established German People's Police . After the war damage had been repaired, the People's Police Hospital was taken over by the Ministry of the Interior in 1960 . From now on, the employees of the ministry could also be treated here. The VP hospital was structurally expanded and equipped with another ward block with 280 beds. The cooperation with the Charité began in 1975 .
One of the tasks of the hospital, which was right on the border with West Berlin , was to take in people who were injured in the area of the Berlin Wall when they tried to escape from the Soviet occupation zone and the GDR . Some of the victims of the Berlin Wall died here.
600 meters further on at Scharnhorststrasse 36 was the GDR government hospital , which became government hospital No. II in 1976 due to its proximity to the border , after the GDR leadership had created a government hospital No. I in Berlin-Buch for the "very highest" management level.
Bundeswehr hospital
Shortly before German reunification , the Ministry of the Interior handed the hospital over to the Ministry of Disarmament and Defense on September 30, 1990 , under the name “Lazarett Berlin-Mitte der National People's Army ”. On October 3, 1990, the Bundeswehr took over the house and began to convert it for their own purposes. It received its current title on January 1, 1991.
