Cholera house

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cholerahaus in Flensburg - Südstadt is the only structural remnant of the urban "Klinik Süd". It is one of the city's cultural monuments .

background

In 1861, a horse stable for the town's poor house and workhouse was built on the site of the Backensmühle. In 1904, a city hospital was established near the stables in question. The horse stable was converted into a cholera house in 1907 by the architect Otto Fielitz . The single-storey, elongated former horse stable has served as the clinic's isolation ward since then . The muddy brick , rather unadorned building is characterized by a purlin roof , arched windows and doors.

The new hospital subsequently became the nucleus of the so-called municipal hospitals. During the air raids on Flensburg on October 1, 1942, the neighboring Backensmühle was destroyed by a crashed Royal Air Force bomber . The cholera house was apparently used as a laundry for the “Klinik-Süd” since the 1960s .

In 1990, one year after the closure of the East Clinic in the Mürwik district , the South Clinic, which apparently last served as a geriatric unit , was also closed. The other hospital buildings of the Klinik Süd no longer exist today. Nowadays, the Cholerahaus at Eckernförder Landstrasse 7a is used by the “City Center Voluntary Fire Brigade”. At the address Eckernförder Landstrasse 7, it is used as a community center by the German Red Cross . First aid training courses are held there, for example .
