history

Solothurn Citizens Hospital

Old Hospital Solothurn

The history of today's Solothurn Citizens' Hospital goes back to 1418, when Pope Martin V, on his way back from the Council in Constance, gave the citizens of Solothurn permission to establish a hospital (today's Old Hospital on the Aare). The community of hospital nurses originally came from Pruntrut and Beaune in France. It served the hospital since 1788. In 1909, the citizens' council bought the lower Schöngrünhof and founded a hospital building commission. Due to the planning competition (over 90 drafts), the First World War and the expansions requested by the medical profession, the groundbreaking was delayed until 1926. In 1930, the new Citizens Hospital in Schöngrün was inaugurated, where today's Citizens Hospital is located (the buildings always exist still and are used). From then on partial expansion. In 1957 the sister house was completed; In 1961 the people of Solothurn (at that time there were no women suffrage) approved the hospital bill III with an overwhelming majority. In 1974 today's Bürgerspital u. a. Completed with a treatment wing with four floors and a bed wing with six floors.

On June 17, 2012, a cantonal referendum took place on the approval credit for the new building of the Solothurn Citizens Hospital . The proposal was accepted with a share of 65.1% yes-votes. The new building should be completed by 2022. The opening of the new building should take place in May 2020, but was postponed to the beginning of 2021 due to renovation work.

Cantonal Hospital Olten

After 63 workers had died in a major construction site accident in the Hauenstein tunnel in 1857 , the call for a hospital in the Olten region was loud. With 6822 votes to 2206, the electorate decided in 1878 to found a canton hospital. Construction began in the Hagmatte in the spring of 1880; the opening took place on November 6, 1880. In 1888 an east wing was added to the central building. The first X-ray machine was installed in 1899, making the Olten Cantonal Hospital (KSO) the pioneering hospital in German-speaking Switzerland. Between 1924 and 1927 the west wing of today's old building of the KSO was built. In the 1950s and 1960s, among other things, an additional ward block, a treatment and operating wing , an infection building and a staff house were built. Since 1995 the renovation and largely new construction of the KSO has been carried out in two construction stages. In the first construction phase, a ward as well as an operating and treatment wing were completed. In the first section of the second construction phase, the second ward block was built. In 2012 the entire construction phase with the new main entrance and the treatment wing, which is home to the gynecological clinic and the medical outpatient clinic , among other things , was completed.

Dornach Hospital

On May 21, 1918, the representatives of the canton of Solothurn and Metallwerke AG Dornach signed a deed of foundation for the establishment of a Dorneck district hospital in Dornach . Construction began in August of the same year. The inauguration took place on March 22, 1920, followed by the commissioning. The hospital has 20 beds. Soon the lack of space was noticeable. Due to the great global economic crisis and the Second World War , the hospital was not rebuilt until 1947 and the number of beds doubled. On September 9, 1958, the groundbreaking for the new building, which had 90 beds and opened in 1963, took place. The old building with 33 beds continued to be used as a chronic care ward. In 1989, a further extension and renovation phase began, which was not completed until 1994. The MRT extension was commissioned in 2015 .

The history of psychiatry in the canton of Solothurn goes back to 1835. In 1835, a committee of the medical society of the canton of Solothurn submitted a petition for the establishment of a mental hospital, combined with a care institution. In 1855 the Cantonal Council finally decided to set up a sanatorium and care facility for the insane and the terminally ill . On May 31, 1860, the Rosegg establishment started operating with 80 beds. 1960 saw the inauguration of a new clinic building with a treatment wing and a new business section. In 1965, the old name of the cantonal sanatorium and nursing home Rosegg Solothurn was changed to the cantonal psychiatric clinic Solothurn . In 1996, the until then autonomous adult psychiatry and child and adolescent psychiatry were merged into an umbrella organization under the name Psychiatric Services of the Canton of Solothurn (PDKS). The last major renovation and new building phase took place from 2000 to 2010. The new building of House 3 Mitte (administration and acute psychiatry) of the Solothurn Psychiatric Clinic was opened in 2004, the renovation of House 3 South was completed in 2006. House 2 ( geriatric psychiatry ) was ready to move into after the complete renovation in 2009. The psychiatric services have been part of Solothurner Spitäler AG since January 1, 2006.

Allerheiligenberg High Altitude Clinic

The Allerheiligenberg High Altitude Clinic in Solothurn was inaugurated in 1910 as a lung sanatorium , a 70-bed house for “poor people with lung disease” designed by Zurich architects Pflegehard and Haefeli , who had made a name for themselves as sanatorium specialists. In the 1950s, extensive renovations were carried out by Altenburger Architekten and Barth and Zaugg built staff apartments . In 2001 it was organizationally merged with the Olten Cantonal Hospital. On September 26, 2010, the Solothurn electorate approved the closure of the Allerheiligenberg Clinic . The range of services was transferred to the Olten site and to the psychiatric services in Langendorf .
