The establishment Duchess Elizabeth Hospital (or shortly HEH clinics or HEH ) was born on June 4, 1909 at the instigation of the eponymous Duchess Elisabeth (1854-1908) and the then City Council Max Jüdel as "Duchess Elisabeth homes (Landeskrüppel-, medicinal and nursing home) ”was founded. The hospital is operated by the "Duchess Elisabeth Hospital Foundation" and offers not only modern medical facilities, but also therapeutic and patient-oriented care.

history

The first senior doctor at the facility was Hans Schlee (1871–1944). Initially, five places were reserved for male and female people aged 0 to 14 years. Schlee was a specialist in surgery and orthopedics. There were also two carers and a housekeeper. There was an operating theater, equipment for medicomechanics , an orthopedic workshop as well as an X-ray laboratory and school training for the patients, which was given by an elementary school teacher.

One of the buildings belonging to the first facility was initially used as an educational institution for the blind, operated by a foundation established by Heinrich Lachmann . In 1921 the institution building was leased to the Duchess Elisabeth Home. The foundation of civil law, which the Duchess Elisabeth Heim founded in 1909, moved into this building in the same year. The facility looked after children and young people from the Duchy of Braunschweig in particular. The foundation drew its start-up capital from the legacy of Duchess Elisabeth, wife of Duke Johann Albrecht of Mecklenburg, from donations from the industrialist Max Jüdel and from state funds. Until the move in 1921, the foundation was housed in the orthopedic-surgical practice of the head doctor at 85 Jasperallee . In 1935 the home was converted into a general hospital. In 1941 the rooms of the former Herzog Wilhelm asylum for the blind at Husarenstrasse 78 and 79 were rented for expansion. The land was acquired by the foundation in 1958 and an extension was added in the 1970s. Since there was still not enough space, a new building was built in Melverode at Leipziger Strasse 24 in 1974. The entire hospital operations were relocated to this building complex by 2007. The former buildings of the Duchess Elisabeth Hospital continued to be used in 2008 by the DRK senior center after new construction and renovations.

The Duchess Elisabeth Hospital works closely with the Medical Care Center for Diagnostic Radiology and Nuclear Medicine on Kurt-Schumacher-Straße in Braunschweig. On November 1, 2011, the internal MRT department of the HEH was handed over to the partner company.

In June 2012 a medical center and an operation center were opened in the Duchess Elisabeth Hospital in a new building attached to the HEH. These offer two outpatient operating theaters, a facility for computed tomography , angiography and medical practices of various specialties.

The Herzogin-Elisabeth-Hospital was awarded the status "Silver" in 2017 as part of a project of the World Health Organization .
