History and architecture

The building was built as a surgical clinic in 1925/26, according to other information from 1925 to 1927, in the course of the third expansion of what was then Sudenburg Hospital. The design came from the architects Johannes Göderitz and Fritz Kneller . The design is inspired by the works of Jacobus Johannes Pieter Ouds and Peter Behrens . The south facade in particular has been preserved almost unchanged. Originally the construction was only planned as the first pavilion of a complex laid out on three wings with connecting buildings, but this was not implemented.

An elongated building was created in an east-west direction. The symmetrically constructed house has three storeys and is clad with red, white jointed hard-fire bricks. There is a three-and-a-half- story , broadly developed medium risk . At the east and west end there are three and a half storey front buildings. A utility wing is added on the north side. The building is covered by a flat roof . The construction was carried out using a reinforced concrete skeleton construction, which enabled a flexible design of the floor plan, as partition walls could be placed anywhere.

The facade is structured by means of sculptural protruding concrete strips that partially hold the windows above and below. The windows of the house are flush with the surface of the facade. In front of the first floor, apart from the head buildings, there is a continuous balcony on the south side, which is only interrupted by the risalits. The balcony is also made of reinforced concrete.

At a later time, alterations and additions were made, which, however, left the overall architectural impression essentially unaffected. Currently (as of 2017) the redeveloped building houses the children's clinic of the university hospital with an outpatient clinic, intensive care unit , four other wards and pediatric surgery.

The hospital is listed in the local monument register under registration number 094 06376 as a monument .

Building 10 is an important example of New Building and is significant in terms of urban history as a preserved document for Magdeburg as the city of the New Building Will.
