The deaconess hospital in Augsburg is a brick building in neo-Gothic style, which was built by Jean Keller from 1891 to 1893 and is a listed building. The affiliated hospital of care level 1 now treats around 7,500 inpatients and 2,500 outpatients annually. It is located in downtown Augsburg not far from the main train station .
history
The St. Johannis branch association established in Augsburg in 1854 saw nursing by deaconesses as an important goal when it was founded. However, the actual activity did not begin until a year later on October 15, 1855, when a sister who had moved from Strasbourg began outpatient treatment in a rented apartment in the old town , the so-called Marthaheim. This date is now regarded as the foundation of the deaconess hospital in Augsburg.
In the years that followed, the staff was steadily increased and some of them were also transferred to other institutions: In 1869, eight deaconesses were already working in their own Protestant department at the main hospital on Unteren Graben.
With the funds that the deaconesses had received from the legacy of Countess Stephanie Guiot du Ponteil , a plot of land on Frölichstrasse was purchased in 1886 and the clinic building, which still exists today, was built there as a brick building in the neo-Gothic style by the well-known architect Jean Keller . This building is now a listed building.
When it opened in 1893, the clinic had 30 beds and was already managed in the affiliated doctor system. In 1900 the deaconesses cared for about 400 patients a year. In the years that followed, the hospital was expanded with additions, for example in 1899 the “Kinderbewahranstalt” or in 1901 the “Paulinenpflege”. Due to the constant expansion, the hospital had a bed capacity for 150 patients in 1930.
During the Second World War , the clinic was used as a reserve hospital and suffered severe damage in the so-called “ Augsburger Bombennacht ” from February 25th to 26th, 1944. After the end of the war, the hospital was expanded as part of the reconstruction and at that time had 220 beds. In 1960 a conference and nurses' house was added and in 1976 a new operating wing was inaugurated.
After the turn of the millennium, the deaconess hospital was heavily restructured and supplemented by the construction of a medical center next door. In the course of a medical reorientation - the focus is now placed on surgery , diabetology , gynecology , cardiology and urology - the clinic also introduced the name "diako - the city clinic" used today.
A new building directly adjacent to the hospital has been built since April 2010. The four new operating theaters located in it went into operation a month later. More than fifty attending doctors and anesthetists perform medical treatments. As part of the investment measure totaling 60 million euros, a technical center that meets modern requirements was also built. A combined heat and power unit with two micro gas turbines and an optional connection to the district heating supply ensures the hospital's operational safety. After the groundbreaking for the new building in September 2008, archaeological excavations were carried out on the site, which led to finds from Roman times. One and two-bed rooms for patients have been created on two floors above the operating wing, which was built for 14 million euros.
