Dissen auxiliary hospital
The Dissen auxiliary hospital was a fully functional hospital. Today it is owned by the city of Dissen .
history
Planning for the auxiliary hospital began in 1971. The architect was Adolf Streit. Construction began in 1973. The building was not completed until 15 years later in March 1988. First of all, a gymnasium was to be built above ground, which could also have served as a hospital in an emergency, and ultimately a primary school was built. It was only equipped with 400 beds in 1989 after the border to the GDR was opened. Beds and medical equipment were sent to Chechnya in 1998 . Today some rooms are rented from the Osnabrück Clinic and the German Red Cross Osnabrücker Land .
