The Städtische Kliniken Mönchengladbach GmbH in Mönchengladbach - Rheydt was created on January 1, 2004 through the merger of the Elisabeth Hospital Rheydt with the Hardterwald Clinic to form a hospital under municipal ownership. The municipal clinics have 577 beds and are an academic teaching hospital of RWTH Aachen University .
history
In 1847 the first hospital was built in the city of Rheydt, which was built by the local master craftsmen. The building was owned by the city and was transferred to the board of directors for free use. Of the seven available beds, one bed belonged to the community.
The upswing in the textile industry in Rheydt and Gladbach led to a strong increase in population and the clinic that had been built was no longer able to cope with the demands. In 1883 the city council decided to buy a plot of land in Ohlerfeld for the construction of a hospital and in autumn 1885 the Rheydt Municipal Hospital was opened on today's Heinrich-Pesch-Straße. After two years of renovation and expansion, in 1906 the hospital had 200 beds in the main disciplines of surgery and internal medicine as well as the departments for venereal, dermatological, mentally ill and eye-sick people. In the following year the nursing school of the city hospital was officially recognized by a ministerial decree. Up until the Second World War, there were extensions and at times the villa of the manufacturer Hubert Leisse on Hubertusstraße was used as an "auxiliary hospital" for reasons of capacity. After the war, new facilities were added to the hospital, e.g. B. an infection station and the children's clinic with a premature baby room in the Villa Junkers. The strong increase in tuberculosis during and after the war years made it necessary to rededicate Villa Leisse as a tuberculosis facility, which existed until 1958. In the same year, the obstetric and gynecological department of the Rheydt GmbH Women's Clinic on Gartenstrasse was incorporated into the Rheydt Municipal Hospital. From the end of 1959, the decentralized care structures and the need for inpatient care led to the consideration of building a new hospital on the site of the Villa Leisse on Hubertusstrasse, which was used as an outstation of the municipal hospital. In 1962 the Villa Leisse was demolished and the foundation stone for the Elisabeth Hospital Rheydt was laid on November 23rd that same year. It took four years for the new clinic to be completed. Today the Rheinische Kliniken Mönchengladbach of the regional association are housed in the former Rheydt municipal hospital.
