history

Heinrich-Braun-Hospital Zwickau, main building

As of September 24, 1845, the city of Zwickau had a district hospital in the area around Frauenanger. In 1860 the main building of this monastery was extended and the number of beds rose from 45 to 252 as a result of an extension and a new building. On January 9, 1906, the Leipzig surgeon Heinrich Braun took over the management of the Royal Hospital from his predecessor Karl Karg, who died in 1905, at the age of 44. Despite renovations and expansions, the location in the city center quickly reached its limits. Braun therefore tried to build a new one. In 1913 construction began on the 300,000 m² site in the Marienthal district. In 1918 the name was changed to (Staatliches) Krankenstift Zwickau . Two years later the shell was completed in Marienthal. On December 1, 1921, the surgical department and the X-ray institute were put into operation on the new clinic premises. This was followed by an internal department (292 beds), physical-therapeutic treatment options, the pathological institute with a large lecture hall that still exists today, and an EKG department. A decision by the Saxon State Ministry recognized the health center as a research institute on December 9, 1921. On April 1, 1928, the internist Karl August Eskuchen , who had headed the internal department of the penal institution since 1923, replaced the surgeon Heinrich Braun as the medical director of the penal institution. In 1933, under National Socialist pressure, he was dismissed from the management function of the hospital because of "non-Aryan descent". With the new building and the inauguration of the women's clinic, the structural development had come to a preliminary conclusion in 1930. The "Zwickau pavilion style" developed into a term in the history of hospital architecture. At the time, the clinic had 787 beds, of which 311 were in the medical clinic, 276 in the surgical department and 200 in the women's clinic. On April 26, 1934, Heinrich Braun , who shaped the clinic as medical director for over 22 years, died in Überlingen on Lake Constance. In recognition of his services, the State Sickness Foundation was given the name of its founder six months after his death. Under Braun's responsibility, after 1921 and before his adoption, some then illegal sterilizations of "idiots" had been carried out, which had sparked discussions throughout the Reich about a so-called Lex Zwickau , even before the sterilization of "idiots" was legalized under National Socialist rule for the so-called "prevention of unworthy life through operative measures".

The hospital survived the Second World War without damage to the building. In 1945 the city of Zwickau initially received administrative sovereignty for ten years. In 1950 the clinic included the medical departments of surgery, internal medicine, gynecology, bathhouse (physiotherapy), pathology, laboratory, X-ray department and pharmacy. Independent specialist disciplines continuously emerged or added. For example, pediatrics in 1952, neurology and psychiatry in 1957, and urology and maxillofacial surgery in 1958. In 1957, the Heinrich Braun Hospital merged with the Paul Flechsig Hospital to form the district hospital (BKH) "Heinrich Braun" with at times more than 2000 beds.

After the reunification of Germany and the associated reorientation in the medical sector, extensive structural and structural changes began with the aim of bundling the clinics at the Marienthal location. That is why the clinics for orthopedics, ophthalmology, neurology and psychiatry as well as the neonatology department moved from the city center to the area in the Marienthal district. In 2007 the Heinrich-Braun-Klinikum changed its legal form and has been a non-profit GmbH since then. In 2012 the Heinrich-Braun-Klinikum Zwickau non-profit GmbH (HBK) and the Kreiskrankenhaus Kirchberg GmbH (KKH) merged to form the Heinrich-Braun-Klinikum non-profit GmbH. This decision was made by the sponsors of the clinics, the city of Zwickau and the district of Zwickau.

The HBK has had the title of Academic Teaching Hospital of the University of Leipzig since 1992. In 2014, the Heinrich-Braun-Klinikum was also named the Academic Teaching Hospital of the Jena University Hospital. In addition to students from Leipzig, medical students from Jena can now also receive their practical training according to the medical license regulations for doctors at the HBK.

The largest single investment in the history of HBK, at € 64 million, was the creation of an operational center, which was inaugurated in November 2003. In 2007 the clinic changed its legal form and has been a non-profit GmbH since then.

In 2012 the Heinrich-Braun-Klinikum Zwickau non-profit GmbH merged with the Kreiskrankenhaus Kirchberg GmbH to form Heinrich-Braun-Klinikum gGmbH.
