history
Against the background of the strong population growth caused by industrialization in Stuttgart, the "Association for Nurses" (Olga Sisters) founded the Karl Olga Hospital on April 1, 1894 in the east of the city. The Olga Sisters were members of the Württemberg Red Cross Württemberg Medical Association . The first director was Berthold von Fetzer . With its initially 100 beds, the Karl Olga Hospital was supposed to guarantee medical care in the emerging district. From the beginning, the nursing home of the sisters and a nursing school were attached to the hospital. The school received state recognition in 1909 as one of the first nursing schools in Stuttgart. In 1910 the Charlottenbau, named after Queen Charlotte of Württemberg, was built as a surgical clinic. An internal clinic was built between 1928 and 1930. Since the Olga Sisters, whose patrons were the Württemberg queens, joined the Inner Mission in Württemberg ( Diakonie ) after the end of the monarchy in 1919 and also the Kaiserswerther Association of German Deaconess Mother Houses in 1923 , the Karl Olga Hospital became a Protestant hospital.
The Karl Olga Hospital was also badly damaged in the heavy bombing raids on Stuttgart in October 1944. The patients were relocated to houses outside of Stuttgart, especially to Sebastiansweiler near Tübingen. In the course of the reconstruction after the war, an economic and administrative building was also built in 1949.
In 1985, the Karl Olga Hospital was converted into a GmbH. The Sana-Klinikengesellschaft took over 74 percent of the shares, the deaconess motherhouse 26 percent. The status of the Protestant hospital was retained. This step had become necessary because the upcoming general renovation of the hospital could not be managed by the parent company alone due to the considerable costs. Shortly after the turn of the millennium, the new building measures were completed.
In the 1980s and 1990s, several small specialist clinics in Stuttgart were incorporated into the Karl Olga Hospital, including the Reuter Clinic for Urology and the Baumann Clinic for Orthopedics. The nursing school, for which the Deaconess Mother House of the Olga Sisters continued to be responsible for the content, was incorporated into the newly founded Evangelical Education Center in 2003 together with the school of the Evangelical Deaconess Institution Stuttgart at the Deaconess Hospital (today Diakonie-Klinikum Stuttgart) and the school of the Bethesda Hospital in Stuttgart for the health professions in Stuttgart , whose partner, along with the other two hospitals, is the Karl-Olga-Krankenhaus GmbH.
