history
Forerunner facilities of today's Rastatt Hospital were the "Gutleutehaus" and the Rastatt Badstube.
At the beginning of the 18th century, the bathing room and hospital were converted into a local foundation. This old hospital was then in the Dörfel, today's Josefstrasse. After the existing premises became too small, the hospital foundation acquired the old Rastatt inn "Zum Rebstock" (Josefshaus) next to the old hospital.
It was not until October 1, 1853, that the building, which is still used as a hospital after various renovations and additions, was acquired by the hospital foundation in exchange for the hospital building (Josefshaus) that had been in use until then. Although the house was expanded in 1883/84 by adding more rooms above the main entrance to the hospital, in 1897 it was again too small. After extensive consultations, it was decided to add a ward block.
In 1904 the renovation work was finished. The number of hospital beds was increased to 100 through the establishment of the bed building. Due to the steadily growing number of sick people admitted, the Rastatt Citizens Hospital had to struggle again with lack of space as early as 1920. For this reason, the Rastatt Citizens' Committee decided in 1920 to set up a maternity hospital, which had been missing until then, and was built in 1921 in the existing rooms of the Citizens Hospital. In March 1923, the long-awaited maternity home was built with the acquisition of the garrison's former isolation hospital at Engelstrasse 37 next to the citizens' hospital with 18 beds. In the course of the planned expansion of the municipal civic hospital, the necessary expansion of the maternity home had to be tackled in August 1927. A maternity home with a gynecological clinic was created, in which 16 rooms with a total of 40 beds were available. After the renovation work on the maternity home was completed in the summer of 1929, the bed capacity of the citizen hospital increased from 110 to 150.
On April 1, 1937, the Bürgerspitalfonds was dissolved and the hospital with all rights and obligations was transferred to the city of Rastatt and from that point on it was known as the "Städtisches Krankenhaus". After the hospital was closed twice due to the war (1939 and 1944), the condition of the municipal hospital, which was released in September 1945, was unimaginably poor. However, operations resumed immediately.
In the fifties the importance of the municipal hospital increased more and more; With effect from April 1, 1959, the Rastatt district hospital was transferred to the Rastatt district. On September 1, 1961, the shell of a bed and treatment building was started with connection to the former bed building. The official inauguration of the new Rastatt District Hospital took place on November 26, 1964.
In December 1980 - after lengthy negotiations and due to the new Hospital Financing Act - the urgently needed extension was inaugurated. Further expansions took place in the 80s. Since January 1st, 2004 the district hospital Forbach belongs to the clinic group of the Klinikum Mittelbaden gGmbH.
