Auxiliary Hospital Oldenburg in Holstein

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The auxiliary hospital in Oldenburg (Holstein) was an incomplete hospital. It was located under the sports hall on Carl-Maria von Weber-Strasse. When it was officially completed after the Cold War in 1995, the facility may have been the last new auxiliary hospital in Germany.

history

Planning for the auxiliary hospital began as early as the 1970s, but was delayed again and again due to problems with financing. In 1992 the mayor of Oldenburg held on to building the facility. The federal government was initially pushing ahead with construction because the hospital would be the first of its kind in the region and thus close a supply gap. Construction work began in the 1990s and construction work ended in 1997. The facility was never equipped as a hospital, and the interior was limited to washing and toilet stations. In 1998 work on the plant was stopped. The auxiliary hospital never went into operation, but has been used as storage space since it was opened.

Technical

The facility has a floor plan of 45 × 50 m and is 4.5 m below the surface. It has a marine diesel engine as an emergency power generator .
