history
On July 6, 1857, the deaconess institution was founded with the consecration of the mother house. The foundation took place on the initiative of Mathilde Tholuck , wife of the Halle theology professor August Tholuck , who was oriented towards the work of the deaconess house in Kaiserswerth . In 1868, a new building was opened at today's location on Mühlweg as Halle's first modern large hospital. In the three-storey building, in addition to patient rooms, there was also a pharmacy , as well as apartments for the house chaplains, deaconesses , offices, utility rooms and a chapel.
In 1872 Pastor Otto Jordan was entrusted with the spiritual and economic management of the Diakonissenanstalt. He held this position for 44 years until 1916 and was thus largely responsible for the further direction and development of the institution. Above all, he pushed ahead with the purchase of further properties and sought the favor of new financial benefactors. During his tenure, numerous new buildings were built, for example the Martinstift on Lafontainestrasse in 1883, which was designed as a retirement home from the start; In 1886 the parish and after-work house for deaconesses followed, later the mother house.
In 1893 the Diakonissenanstalt received its own church , designed by Friedrich Fahro based on the Wiesbaden program . The neo-Gothic interior is almost completely preserved to this day. In 1908 the church received a new organ. In 1918 the community of institutions was granted parochial law .
At the beginning of the 20th century, numerous other new buildings followed, including a laundry (1903), a kindergarten teacher seminar (1908), a home economics school (1911), an infant home (1911) and the youth center with a daycare center and kindergarten (1914) ). In June 1929 the extension of the former parish and after-work house on Lafontainestrasse was completed and inaugurated as the new mother house. The sisterhood of deaconesses experienced its heyday in this and the following 20 years. Until shortly after the end of the Second World War, more than 400 deaconesses, novices, trial sisters and deaconess students belonged to the Halle mother house.
On July 5, 1945, the Red Army confiscated the hospital (Mühlweg 7) with its 360 beds and operated its own military hospital there . A wooden fence and high walls separated the military hospital from the rest of the facility. Employees and patients were accommodated in the garden hospital and in the mother house. The children's hospital, which was also confiscated, had to be relocated from Mühlweg 6 to the kindergarten and after-school care building (Lafontainestrasse 16). The number of beds was reduced from 440 beds to 100 adult and 60 children's beds.
Between 1948 and the end of the 1990s, the mother house of the Diakonissenanstalt established itself as an important center of church politics. The synods of the ecclesiastical province of Saxony took place here regularly . The Synod met for the first time on October 12, 1948 in the Motherhouse.
In the 1960s the number of deaconesses fell sharply. New blessings became rarer. In 1978 the last deaconess was consecrated. At the same time, the number of members of the Protestant congregations in eastern Germany decreased. In 1982, for the 125th anniversary of the Diakonissenanstalt, the institution was renamed Evangelisches Diakoniewerk Halle . This was accompanied by structural changes, including the establishment of a staff representative . This process was largely accompanied by the then rector Reinhard Turre and carried out in close cooperation with those responsible for the Kaiserswerther Association of the Federal Republic.
Since 1990
After the reunification of Germany in 1991, the confiscated hospital was returned to the foundation. Together with the Diakoniewerk Kaiserswerth , a non-profit GmbH was founded, which has since operated the previously independent Poli Reil . On January 1st, the Diakoniewerk took over the sponsorship and the building of the Harz Dermatology Clinic, which until then belonged to the state-run Halle District Hospital.
In addition to the professional care and care of sick and old people, the Diakoniewerk has been very active in promoting civic engagement since the early 1990s . In July 1993 the Halle regional group of the German Social Welfare Association was founded in the Martinstift , and in 1999 the Diakoniewerk was a founding member of the Halle volunteer agency.
In 1996 the facility was given its current name. On April 28, 1996, the Johannes-Jänicke-Haus, which houses a nursing home, was inaugurated. The new building was financed by funds from the state of Saxony-Anhalt , the federal government and the city of Halle. In addition, money from lottery funds, the Diakonisches Werk der EKD as well as own funds and donations were used. The name of the house pays tribute to Bishop Johannes Jänicke , who was also active in Halle and was chairman of the board of trustees of the Diakoniewerk. The interior design was designed and implemented by students from the Burg Giebichenstein Art College in Halle .
In 1996, a new dormitory for people with disabilities and a day-care center were set up in the Bethcke-Lehmann-Haus.
In 2002 the training center for nursing professions was founded, in which the various training offers were combined.
Between 2004 and 2009 new buildings were erected on the Diakoniewerk site. With the Mathilde-Tholuck-Haus, another nursing home for the elderly was opened in 2004, designed for people with dementia . The garden hospital was replaced in 2006 by a functional wing that houses new operating theaters and an intensive care unit as well as a radiological center and an emergency room . In 2009 a new ward building was inaugurated.
In March 2014 the Diakoniewerk Halle became a partner of the Christian Academy for Health and Nursing Professions in Halle . With this participation, the own training center was dissolved and the training courses offered there were transferred to a new sponsorship.
Today around 600 people are employed in the Diakoniewerk Halle. The 21 deaconesses remaining until September 2013 had retired from active service and were only active in the Diakoniewerk on an honorary basis.
Diakonie Hospital
The hospital started operations in 1868 with the newly built ward on Mühlweg. The hospital's first general chief physician was Barries.
From the beginning, the hospital was not only a place of care, but also important for science and research thanks to the doctors working there. Since 1876, Alfred Genzmer operated on his patients in the Diakoniekrankenhaus. He took up Lister's theory of antisepsis and, as in the university clinic, introduced antiseptic wound treatment. As a professor at the University appointed , he continued his teachings in Diakoniekrankenhaus into practice. In 1894 he became chief surgeon and held this position until his death in 1912.
As one of the first hospitals in Halle, the deaconess hospital had an X-ray room from 1895 and was later one of the first to have a complete X-ray station.
In 1898 the gynecologist Kurt Witthauer tested the active ingredient acetylsalicylic acid on 50 patients and researched its antipyretic and analgesic effects. After these tests, the active ingredient was mass-produced and marketed under the brand name Aspirin .
Between 1945 and 1991 the current main building of the hospital was used as a military hospital for the Red Army; medical care for the population was only possible in ancillary buildings such as the garden hospital, which was demolished in 2007 due to the new ward building.
From 1981 Hans-Joachim Maaz became the chief physician of the newly established clinic for psychotherapy and psychosomatics and developed his own therapeutic approach here.
From 1995 the surgery was restructured. Initially, Blumenstein founded an independent clinic for vascular surgery , and from 1996 a thoracic surgery department was established under Olaf Fischbeck . In 1997 the clinic for general, visceral and thoracic surgery was founded with chief physician Uwe Rose.
Today the hospital is a specialist provider specializing in geriatrics , psychosomatics, pulmonology , surgery (especially thoracic and visceral surgery) as well as gastroenterology and angiology . With the intestinal center Diako and the lung cancer center Diako , the hospital operates two certified , interdisciplinary organ centers.
The hospital has 230 beds and 30 day clinic places.
The Diakoniekrankenhaus is an academic teaching hospital of the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg .
