history
Rastpfuhl location
Built in 1901 as the “Rastpfuhl Hospital”, the CaritasKlinikum Saarbrücken - St. Theresia is one of the oldest hospitals in the Saarland capital and one of the very few Saarland clinics that still exist at their original location. The hospital, which originally consisted of just one building, gradually became a modern building complex, the appearance of which is mainly characterized by the expansion and new buildings of the 1970s and 1990s.
The name and sponsorship of the clinic changed several times in the course of its history. The founder of the “Rastpfuhl Hospital” was the Malstatt-Burbach Health Insurance Association, and in 1914 the “General Local Health Insurance Fund for the City of Saarbrücken” took over the sponsorship. During the Second World War - in 1939 - the hospital was evacuated and relocated to the St. Wendel high school. The building on the Rastpfuhl served mainly as a reserve military hospital for the Wehrmacht during the war and was badly damaged by bombs in October 1944.
On July 1, 1947, the State Insurance Institute for the Saarland (LVA) took over responsibility for the clinic and began rebuilding it. On February 17, 1965, the Caritasverband für Saarbrücken und Umgebung eV signed the takeover contract for the Rastpfuhl Hospital and pushed ahead with the expansion of the clinic: in 1968 an ear, nose and throat clinic was set up and a nursing school was opened to train junior staff. In the summer of 1969, a newly created pathological institute began its work, and from April 1970 a dormitory was available for around 80 student nurses. In 1971 the inauguration of a new hospital building costing 25 million Deutschmarks followed, in which 350 beds and modern medical equipment were now available. At the same time as the inauguration of the new building, the hospital was given a new name on December 8, 1971, and the "Rastpfuhl Hospital" became the "Caritasklinik St. Theresia", named after St. Theresa of Lisieux .
On January 1, 1993, the sponsorship for the Caritas Clinic St. Theresia and other facilities, which had been managed by the Caritas Association until then, was transferred to Caritas Trägergesellschaft Saarbrücken mbH (cts). Under her aegis, numerous new main departments were founded such as the Oncological Day Clinic (1997), the Pain Clinic (1998), the Radiation Oncological Clinic (1999), the Clinic for Palliative Medicine (2002), the Neurological Clinic (2003) and the Clinic for Vascular Surgery (2006 ). In 2002 the clinic received its first magnetic resonance tomograph, and in 2008 a computer tomograph was put into operation. The opening of the Stroke Unit (2004), a special intensive care unit for the acute treatment of strokes, and the Medical Care Center (2007) represent further important milestones in the history of the clinic. On July 1, 2011, the Caritas Clinic St. Theresia and the Hospital St. Josef in Saarbrücken-Dudweiler merged to form a joint hospital “CaritasKlinikum Saarbrücken”.
Dudweiler location
In the middle of the 19th century, Dudweiler grew rapidly due to the beginning of the mining industry. Between 1840 and 1910, the population of the then independent municipality increased tenfold. There was a great housing shortage and the low wages led to many social problems. At the request of the then Dudweiler pastor Oesterling, the religious order of the Sisters of the Holy Spirit from Koblenz founded a branch in Dudweiler on December 18, 1866 and provided outpatient care for the residents in the first few years. However, due to the often cramped living conditions of many people, the desire for inpatient treatment was quickly aroused. The foundation stone was laid in 1898 and the hospital was officially opened on November 19, 1899. At that time, there were 30 men's and 15 women's beds in a single department for internal medicine.
In the following decades the hospital also grew and additional departments were added, including orthopedics, surgery and gynecology. In the mid-2000s, the house was extensively renovated for 14 million euros. the construction work was completed in May 2010. The main building and the extension were renovated, and a parking garage and an old people's home were built. On July 1, 2011, the Caritas Clinic St. Theresia and the Hospital St. Josef in Saarbrücken-Dudweiler were merged to form a joint hospital "CaritasKlinikum Saarbrücken" and a restructuring was then pushed forward. The clinic in Dudweiler had to hand over the gynecological obstetrics and received a clinic for psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy. The sponsorship went from the cts sisters v. Hl. Geist gGmbH to Caritas Trägergesellschaft Saarbrücken mbH.
