history
Beginnings
The children's clinic in Timișoara was built in 1902 with financial support from Anton Sailer . He donated 51,000 crowns to the White Cross Association , half of the amount needed to build the hospital. Anton Sailer was born in Arad and worked as a businessman in Timișoara. He donated his acquired fortune for charitable purposes. In 1904 he was made an honorary citizen of the city of Timișoara . In his honor, his bust was erected in front of the main hospital building in 1906, in the middle of the former Horațiu Square, today's Queen Maria Square. In 1913 the pediatric surgery department was set up with ten beds, and between 1931 and 1942 the building was raised and expanded to 100 beds.
post war period
In 1945, after the opening of the Medical and Pharmaceutical University Victor Babes , one of the first university hospitals in Timisoara was established in the children's clinic. After the nationalization in 1948, the adjacent sanatoriums PARC and Burian were attached to the children's clinic , so that the capacity of the house could be increased to 180 beds; Emil Hurmuzache became the first director .
Between 1950 and 1952 the clinic was expanded with two two-story wings. The hospital was expanded to 250 beds and received an outpatient department, a lecture room for students, a library and a dining room for mothers. In 1962 the later namesake, Louis Țurcanu, became director of the children's clinic.
After the 1989 revolution
In 1990 the children's hospital had 400 beds, a surgery department , a department for social pediatrics , a TBC ward and an orphanage .
In the spring of 1990 some friends of Romania founded the association “Future of Romania - Children's Clinic Temesvar eV” in Hamburg . The first chairman was Donata von Prussia , the widow of Louis Ferdinand Prince of Prussia (1944–1977) . At the beginning of 1990, 4,000 appeals for donations were sent. Bundestag President Rita Süssmuth sent an encouraging reply and a personal donation. In Romania, the Romanian Orthodox Metropolitan Nicolae Corneanu was one of the most important supporters of the project. In Germany, the member of the Bundestag, Klaus Francke, became an important advocate for the federal government . In 1994 an application was made to the Federal Ministry of the Interior for a subsidy for the association's funds . The association's funds, which came exclusively from donations, amounted to around 1,000,000 DM. At the end of 1994, the Federal Ministry of the Interior approved a subsidy for medical and technical equipment of 743,000 DM from the funds intended for the German population in Romania .
The foundation stone for the new operations department was laid personally on August 30, 1995 by the President of the Bundestag, Rita Süssmuth. The new operating wing was built within a year. The modern medical technology was delivered and installed from Germany. The inauguration and commissioning of the new surgery department took place on December 17, 1996. The official inauguration was carried out by Ministerial Director Klaus Pöhle .
In 1999 the old main pediatric surgery building was also refurbished and adapted to Western standards from Romanian funds.
