The Bundeswehr Hospital Ulm is a hospital on the Ulm Eselsberg and is one of five Bundeswehr hospitals . It was founded in 1968 and has been the only Bundeswehr hospital remaining in southern Germany since April 1, 2007. Since 2013, the service has been under the command of the Bundeswehr Medical Service in Koblenz .

It is anchored in the hospital plan of the state of Baden-Württemberg with 323 beds available for inpatient treatment of civilian patients. According to the StAN , the clinic has a total of 496 beds . The clinic is an academic hospital of the University of Ulm and is therefore involved in the training of medical students.

In July 2007, the Bundeswehr hospital had to be completely evacuated after a bomb threat received by a local newspaper. The patients were transferred to surrounding hospitals in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria .

history

Planning and construction

The plans for the construction of another Bundeswehr hospital in southern Germany (alongside the existing BwKrhs Amberg , Kempten and Wildbad ) go back to the early 1960s. In 1964, for example, the Bundeswehr made land available to the state of Baden-Württemberg for the upcoming construction of Ulm University on the Obere Eselsberg , but not without reserving an area of ​​around 20 hectares for the construction of a Bundeswehr hospital.

On January 2, 1968, Oberstarzt Friedrich Wilhelm Ahnefeld, together with two nurses , two nurses and a medical-technical assistant, began setting up an anesthesiological department, which was still housed in the gynecological clinic of the Ulm University Hospital due to the lack of its own premises . Ahnefeld was also appointed the first chief physician of the Bundeswehr hospital. In the same year a permanent commission for further hospital planning was set up, which included representatives of the Bundeswehr hospital, the University of Ulm, the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Defense .

The structural form of the Bundeswehr hospital was planned from 1971, the first construction work began with the laying of the foundation stone on November 26, 1974. The excavation pit was the largest in southern Germany at that time. This was mainly due to the protective bunker under the buildings, which should provide protection for up to 2000 people in the event of war. Operating theaters, detoxification devices, disinfection locks, treatment rooms, emergency power generators and technical clinic facilities - spread over 270 rooms - were available up to a depth of 20 meters, as well as the corresponding food supplies for 90 days. After a construction period of around six years, clinical operations began in 1980 in the new hospital building with 620 beds at that time. In the same year the Bundeswehr hospital in Kempten was closed in favor of Ulm.

2007 bomb threat

On July 16, 2007, the Bundeswehr hospital had to be evacuated due to a bomb threat. A male caller with an obviously strong foreign accent had announced to a local newspaper around 1 p.m. that after two hours a total of seven explosive devices he had distributed in the building would be detonated. Since the hospital management could not rule out the seriousness of the threat due to various circumstances, for example the increasing deployment of the Bundeswehr abroad, an immediate evacuation of the hospital was initiated. At that time, around 600 patients and 800 employees were mostly evacuated to the neighboring RKU and a nearby sports hall. Some of the patients in the two intensive care units were also transferred to more distant hospitals in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria . Subsequently, the police and the field hunters searched the building with around 50 explosive detection dogs. At around 7:30 p.m., the authorities declared the clinic building to be free of explosives and cleared it for the return of the patients, which was locked around 11 p.m.

General renovation

Since 2007, as part of a general renovation at and around the Bundeswehr hospital in Ulm, various renovation, new construction and repair measures with a total volume of more than 100 million euros have been carried out. The renovation includes, among other things, the renovation of the building services (completed in 2009), the construction of a new central emergency room (2011) and a new operating theater wing (2013), the renovation and redesign of the high-rise beds (between 2007 and 2015), and the expansion of the clinic premises a daycare center, the redesign of the entrance area and the construction of an ambulance station and a new helipad . The final completion of all construction work is not expected until the 2020s.

Medical departments

Air rescue center Ulm

The former parent machine of Christoph 22 at the LRZ Ulm, a BK-117 C1 with the identification D-HLIR .

From 1971 to 2003, a SAR helicopter from Lufttransportgeschwader 61 of the type Bell UH-1D with the nickname SAR 75 was in use at the Ulm Hospital , which was the second air rescue service for civil air rescue in Germany after Christoph 1 from Munich . On April 1, 2003, the SAR 75 rescue helicopter was replaced by a machine from ADAC Air Rescue , which was named Christoph 22 . Since then, operations have been ensured jointly by the ADAC and the Bundeswehr as part of civil-military cooperation . The helicopter and pilot are provided by the ADAC, while the emergency doctor and paramedic or HEMS crew member are still provided by the Bundeswehr hospital.

From April 2003 to January 2016, a BK-117 B2 with the identification D-HBND (year of construction: 1985) was in use as the master machine at the BwKrhs Ulm . On May 23, 2015, this was initially temporarily decommissioned and finally in January 2016 and sold to New Zealand. The new master machine for Christoph 22 should be an Airbus Helicopters H145 T2 from 2017 . In the meantime, a BK-117 C1 with the identification D-HLIR as Christoph 22 flew from the Ulm Air Rescue Center , which was taken over by the Christoph Murnau Rescue Center . A new H145 machine was used for the first time in December 2017. The official commissioning of the new H145 master machine for Christoph 22 (ID: D-HYAL) took place on May 28, 2018.

Non-academic education

Since January 1, 2006, the property has been home to a technical college for rescue services subordinate to teaching group B of the Bundeswehr Medical Academy for the training of emergency paramedics and the advanced training of paramedics and emergency paramedics of the Bundeswehr. On October 1, 2015, a school for health and nursing at the Bundeswehr hospital started operations. The school had existed since 1985, had since been closed and has now been rebuilt. Starting with 15 places for training as a health worker , the school should grow to 75 training places by 2018.
