history
Founding period
The establishment of a military hospital for the duration of the First World War, in a wooden barrack originally used as a canteen, was initiated by the Opel company. In June 1935 it was again the board of directors of Adam Opel AG who not only gave the impetus for the construction of an “own hospital for the city of Rüsselsheim”, but also created the financial basis for the start of construction in 1942 - with a foundation worth 250,000 Reichsmark by Wilhelm von Opel. Further funds flowed in, but initially the events of the war ruined the pursuit of this project. The focus was on setting up an emergency hospital that fell victim to the destruction by air mines. In 1944, an operations department with a total of 30 beds was opened in a second bunker under the direction of the Opel company doctor. While the Americans took Rüsselsheim after the end of the war, the Opel company built a makeshift hospital with 100 beds in the rooms of the Opel villa. When the city took over administration in September 1945, the first “City Hospital Rüsselsheim” was formally born.
1950s
After the Mainz hospitals were no longer available to the local population - Mainz was assigned to the French zone, Rüsselsheim to the American zone and all surrounding bridges had also been destroyed - a gap in health care had emerged. In addition, the city of Rüsselsheim grew rapidly, so that at the end of 1951 an architectural competition for the planning of a new hospital building was announced.
In the spring of 1952, the city council approved the plans for a hospital in Rüsselsheim, and in October the first groundbreaking took place by the Hessian Minister of the Interior. After three years of construction, the city hospital with 408 beds was opened in June 1956. The previous old city hospital closed its doors on July 1, 1956.
1960s
The development of the city and the surrounding area made the first extension necessary after eight years - the five-storey extension, which went into operation in 1964, housed an independent infection station as well as extensions to the surgical and gynecological departments. At the same time, a staff residence, the nurses' school, the gynecological ambulance, the delivery room, the laundry, the boiler house, a pumping station and some smaller buildings were completed.
1970s
As a result of these additions and renovations, the city hospital now had 488 beds and a staff of 343 employees. At that time, a surgical, an internal, a gynecological, a children's, an ear, nose and throat, an eye and an X-ray department as well as a bathing department were established. In 1968 the surgical outpatient department and an administrative wing were added to the city hospital. In 1972, the expansion of the student dormitory began, followed in 1974 by the establishment of an intensive care unit including internal admission. In the same year a central laboratory and a central sink were added, a hemolysis station was put into operation and a central heating system was built. In 1975 the construction of a second staff house with 48 apartments was handed over to its destination.
1980s
Afterwards, those responsible found that all central facilities such as the operating theater, sterilization, laboratory, treatment building, radiology , pharmacy , food distribution, supply and disposal facilities as well as the cafeteria no longer corresponded spatially and functionally to the given circumstances or were partly not taken into account in the original planning were. At that time, the Rüsselsheim City Hospital had 609 beds in accordance with the state hospital plan and had moved from the standard care level to the top level of central care. In 1985 and 1986, for example, the hospital opened new operating theaters, a new radiology department and an operative intensive care unit, followed by a cafeteria with a canteen, a central sterilization unit and a bed center.
1990s
With the completion of the second expansion stage, the surgical outpatient department, internal admission, hemolysis and internal intensive care unit moved into their current domicile. The last of the measures in this round of new construction or renovation measures, which were mainly funded by the state, was the relocation of the hospital pharmacy in 1994. The city of Rüsselsheim was again financially involved in a large number of construction measures at "their city hospital" in the 1990s. In June 1994, parallel to the new pharmacy, a new hospital ward and a renovated ward 1a (geriatrics) started operations. Furthermore, in September of the same year, a new parking deck for the hospital staff and residents improved the parking situation. Before that, a partial renovation of staff house 1 and a renovation of the dormitories of the nursing school took place. The construction of the third staff house at the end of 1995 represented a further improvement of the living space situation - and thus a measure to secure staff loyalty. The next big action, financed by the city, was the renovation and conversion of level 3, in which now the entire cardiological and gastroenterological function rooms are centralized. The city invested around 30 million D-Marks for all of these construction measures.
In May 1999, after several years of construction, the hospital completed the first phase of a complex new ward building. 150 of the 510 beds at the time are in this new building. The rooms are equipped with their own wet room including shower and toilet. 30 beds each are grouped in five care stations around a care support point. The physical therapy department moved into rooms with an exercise pool as well as gymnastics and other therapy rooms on the lower floor. Immediately after the completion of construction section A, planning began for construction section B of the new ward building, in which, in addition to 130 other modern beds, additional functional rooms for specialist departments of the city hospital were to be accommodated.
2000s
At the end of 2002, a new staff house was built in place of the old staff house 1, which was in need of renovation, which, in addition to some two- and three-room apartments, includes one-room apartments for nursing students in particular. Since the beginning of 2000, the Rüsselsheim City Hospital has been subject to structural renovations and changes such as electrical renovations, partial renovations of the wards, conversions of all former six-bed rooms into two-bed rooms, the child-friendly conversion within the specialist department for pediatric and adolescent medicine as well as the conversion of the Stations 1a and 2a to the geriatric clinic.
The Rüsselsheim City Hospital, once built on the outskirts of the city, has now moved into the structural focus and has become an integral part of the city and its surrounding area. With the inauguration of bed block B in 2004, the city hospital also celebrated its transformation into a non-profit GmbH and is now called GPR Klinikum within the framework of the GPR health and care center.
2010s
In November 2012, construction work began on the new bed and functional building C, which was completed in spring 2015. This created a complete twin room standard with shower and toilet in all areas. The internal functional and diagnostic units are now located directly next to the emergency room at the foot of the new building. The intensive care unit was expanded. In the areas above, the geriatric clinic with 40 beds and a walkway as well as three further internal medicine wards with 33 beds each were established. In the emergency room area, the emergency room was expanded to include the Chest Pain Unit.
The hospital is a member of the Clinotel hospital network.
