history

In 1875, Olga von Lützerode founded a sisterhood and the “Nursing Institution in Hanover” with her own resources . They were based in a rented three-story semi-detached house at Eichstrasse 16/17. Olga von Lützerode called the house Clementinenhaus, which is derived from Clementia Dei (" Gentleness of God "). There were nurses as well trained for the service in-house outside. The Sisterhood was placed under the Red Cross in 1876 , as was the Nursing Institution in 1882. In 1878 another building was rented on Blumenstrasse with around 15 beds.

In 1882 a "mild foundation" was established by Olga von Lützerode, in which the sisterhood continued to run the nursing establishment. The purpose of the foundation was to provide nursing training for nurses who also worked in-house.

The building on Lützerodestrasse that was built in the 1880s

At the beginning of the 1880s, a plot of land was acquired for the construction of its own hospital. Donations from Florence Nightingale , Wilhelm Busch , Sir Joseph Lister, Kaiser Wilhelm I and Empress Augusta , among others , enabled construction to begin. The foundation stone was laid in 1885 . In 1887 the hospital was ready for occupancy, initially with 46 beds. In 1898, Empress Auguste inaugurated an after-work house for retired sisters, the property of which the City of Hanover had donated to the Clementine House.

In 1900 the existing nursing school was enlarged and received state recognition. Also in 1900 the street “Am Clementinenhaus” was renamed “Lützerodestrasse” in honor of Olga von Lützerode and for the 25th anniversary of the sisterhood.

During the First World War , the Clementinenhaus became the war hospital of the Patriotic Women's Association with 100 beds. 67 sisters were on duty on the western and eastern fronts, especially in Constantinople and on hospital trains .

In 1933, the Clementinenhaus acquired the neighboring property on Edenstrasse, where the building was expanded to accommodate doctors and nurses. In 1935 the Clementinenhaus was assigned to the Sisterhood of the DRK Berlin and in 1937 it was placed under the authority to which all assets went. During this time the hospital had 150 beds. During the Second World War , 200 nurses were deployed in the Wehrmacht's medical service. The Clementine House was partially a military hospital at the time.

During the air raids on Hanover in March 1945, the hospital was almost completely destroyed and only a few beds could be kept in operation. The temporary restoration of the buildings began in autumn 1945; 1948 the reconstruction of the hospital and the nurses' home.

In 1951 the foundation "DRK-Clementinenhaus - Nursing Institution for the State of Lower Saxony" was brought into being. The foundation body is the board of trustees . At the beginning of the 1960s, the hospital was expanded to include a bed wing with 250 beds. In 1976 the name was changed to DRK Hospital Clementinenhaus. In 1977 the DRK sisterhood was merged with the Cornelien sisterhood in Hameln.

Ward block and emergency room of the hospital

At the end of the 1980s, the intensive care unit received the most modern rooms in an extension. In the early 1990s, a left heart catheter measuring station was set up, and in 1997 a computer tomograph went into operation. The radiology is assigned to a cooperation partner. The reorganization of the emergency room into the "Central Patient Admission" (ZPA) followed in 1999.

In 2003 the DRK hospital Clementinenhaus was awarded the "Commitment to Excellence" certificate by the German Society for Quality as the first hospital in Germany for its medical and nursing health services. A year later, the two affiliated clinics, Klinik Dr. Boueke and Bertaklinik integrated into the Clementinenhaus. Around 2005 the hospital received the KTQ certificate as a further award . On July 3, 2006, the foundation stone was laid for an extensive renovation and renovation project of the building funded by the State of Lower Saxony with 24.5 million euros. The renovation work between 2007 and 2011 was carried out while the hospital was still in operation. Around 2010 the renovated intensive care unit and the newly built operating theater were opened in the Clementinenhaus . The renovation was completed on January 1, 2012. Two years later, the geriatric department was expanded to include a modern therapy wing, which contains all the important areas of a modern geriatric department. In 2014 a member of the sorority was deployed in the Ebola epidemic in Sierra Leone .
