history
On August 4, 1937, after a year and a half of construction, the house was inaugurated as a military hospital for the army. It was built according to plans by the architect Hermann Distel and had 400 beds. After the war, the British military used the house until it became a military hospital on February 24, 1958. According to the term " hospital " initially only soldiers were treated. The Bundeswehr hospital in Hamburg was managed by Colonel Doctor Hans-Joachim Zierach until 1964, then by Ewald Kleist.
After some extensions had been made, the Bundeswehr hospital was renamed the "Bundeswehr Hospital" on October 1st, 1969 and at the same time opened for the treatment of civilian patients.

In addition to the inpatient care of civilian and military patients, the outpatient care of soldiers takes place in the clinics' outpatient departments (so-called specialist examination centers or FU centers). The central department, the military staff, the hospital pharmacy, the nursing management and the hospital administration service area support the specialist medical departments.
The Center for Mental Health is one of the Bundeswehr treatment centers for those 1,875 members of the Bundeswehr who suffer from mental disorders, particularly post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as a result of their war experiences . It is the only clinic that exclusively cares for military patients.
In cooperation with the Hamburg Bernhard Nocht Institute for Tropical Medicine (BNI) and the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf , the Bundeswehr Hospital Hamburg is developing into the armed forces' center for the treatment of tropical diseases. In addition, research projects as well as national and international advanced training courses are carried out. The deployment of German soldiers in the Congo mission was accompanied by 16 tropical medicine specialists from the German Armed Forces Hospital in Hamburg.
Since January 2007, the German Armed Forces Hospital Hamburg has been cooperating with the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf in education, training and further education as well as medical care .
The rescue helicopter Christoph 29 (until 2006 SAR 71 ) is stationed at the Bundeswehr Hospital in Hamburg, in addition to several rescue vehicles from the Bundeswehr and Hamburg Fire Brigade . This is provided by the Federal Ministry of the Interior and staffed by the Bundeswehr with medical personnel. The German Armed Forces Hospital Hamburg gained notoriety through the television series Die Rettungsflieger , even though the actual area of the Hamburg Armed Forces Hospital was not shown as a base for the shooting.
In 2023, the Naval Medical Institute of the Navy is to be relocated from its location in Kronshagen near Kiel to the grounds of the German Armed Forces Hospital in Hamburg. The institute's research and teaching focus on diving and hyperbaric medicine, preventive medicine and psychology. The Bundeswehr hospital will thus also have a pressure chamber .
