Facilities
Geriatric specialist clinic "Georgenhaus"
The geriatric specialist clinic was founded on September 1st, 1996 and is listed as an acute hospital for geriatric medicine in the Thuringian hospital plan. After temporary accommodation in the former hospital buildings of the main barracks in Leipziger Straße, the clinic moved into the building, which has been extensively renovated and modernized since the Meiningen clinics moved out, including a new building on the south wing of the Georgenkrankenhaus. In 2010 an extension was opened on the north wing. With the commissioning of the newly built House 8 in 2016, the Georgenhaus continued to grow. A family doctor's practice specializing in geriatrics is also integrated in the specialist clinic.
The geriatric specialist clinic offers 124 beds and 19 partial inpatient treatment places in the day clinic. All facilities are managed by Sozialwerk Meiningen gGmbH , which was co-founded in 1994 by the doctor Gisela Jahn and which she was managing director until 2004.
Geriatric rehabilitation clinic
The Geriatric Rehabilitation Clinic (Rehabilitation Clinic) was founded in 2020 and is located in House 8, which was newly built in 2016. The Rehabilitation Clinic specializes in follow-up rehabilitation (AHB) directly after a stay in a hospital or geriatric specialist clinic.
Stationary Hozpiz
In January 2011, an in-patient hospice was built on the hospital grounds in a modernized historical building called the “Dr. Jahn House” . It has 12 single rooms, living and common areas as well as overnight accommodations for relatives. The hospice is named after its founder, the doctor Gisela Jahn. The hospice also offers a specialized outpatient palliative care (SAPV), an outpatient hospice and palliative counseling service (AHPB) and an outpatient child and youth hospice service.
Dr. Knüpper House
In a new building right next to the “Georgenhaus” specialist clinic, the “Dr.-Knüpper-Haus” facility was created as a dormitory for mentally ill and mentally disabled people. It has 23 single rooms in four residential groups and a training apartment.
history
Georgen Hospital
The Georgenkrankenhaus was built in 1832 as a municipal hospital east of Meiningen's old town in Halbestadtstrasse (today Neu-Ulmer-Strasse). The architect was chief building officer August Wilhelm Döbner . It was named after the hereditary prince Georg von Sachsen-Meiningen and later Duke Georg II. From 1858 the hospital served as a state institution (state hospital) for the entire duchy and was subordinate to the Saxony-Meiningen state ministry.
After reaching its capacity limit at the end of the 19th century, the state opened a three-story new building in a park on Ernststraße on April 2, 1903, which was built with the help of donations and foundations . Georg Leubuscher was the first director of the 90-bed house created by master builder Otto Schubert . In the next few decades several heights and extensions were carried out. In 1933 the hospital was divided into specialist departments. The number of beds was now 240.
District Hospital
In 1952 the Georgenkrankenhaus became the district hospital of the Suhl district, which, according to today's classification, corresponded to care levels III to IV. Further structural changes took place, the bed capacity increased to 700 and the number of employees rose to around 1,000. After the construction of the new district hospital in Suhl from 1974, the Meiningen hospital operated as the second district hospital.
Meininger clinics
After the political change in the GDR in 1989/90, the hospital was renamed "Meininger Kliniken gGmbH ". In the early 1990s, the structural and technical conditions were no longer sufficient for modern medical care. From 1993 to 1995, with the help of Rhön-Klinikum AG, the new Meiningen Clinic was set up as a GmbH near the Drei 30sacker district . At the beginning of April 1995, the entire hospital with all patients and numerous medical devices moved into the new building within three days in a major campaign. The Meininger Kliniken gGmbH and thus the Georgen Hospital was dissolved on March 31, 1995.
