history

Industrialization began in Bremen-Nord at the end of the 19th century . The number of residents increased sharply and single workers increased. The Bremer Woll-combing began in 1884 with their production.

In 1887 the city hospital in Vegesack - the Hartmannstift - opened the business. The number of patients continued to grow. The Blumenthal district therefore bought the Desebrocksche estate on the eastern edge of the Blumenthaler Löh in 1904 with a residential building, outbuildings and over 5 hectares of parkland in order to build a modern hospital here. In 1908 the Blumenthal district hospital with 68 beds in the surgery, internal medicine, delivery and x-ray departments was inaugurated.

The Desebrocksche house was built in 1912, a tuberculosis -Genesungsheim. A new isolation house was put into operation. The number of beds rose to 140. Around 1910, the secret medical advisor Otto Vogel was the chief physician of the surgical department and the medical advisor Richard Müller was the head of the medical department.

During the First World War , the district hospital became a reserve hospital.

The hospital was recognized as an accident hospital by the trade association in 1936 . The capacity grew to 200 beds. In 1939 the municipality of Blumenthal was incorporated into Bremen. The district hospital became part of the Bremen municipal hospitals. The hospital was also a reserve hospital with up to a thousand wounded during World War II . The civilian population was housed in the cramped Hartmannstift .

In 1948 the expansion (east wing), renovation and technical modernization of the hospital began. The new children's clinic opened in 1951. The clinic has 350 beds. The nurses came from the Bremen Sisterhood of the Red Cross.

In 1960 the state nursing school started with 12 students and expanded the capacity to 90 training places.

A comprehensive expansion and modernization of the hospital took place in the 1960s with the Clinic for Internal Medicine (1962), Trauma Surgery (1965), the Children's Clinic (1968) and the Institute for X-ray Diagnostics and Radiation Therapy (1968). The total number of beds rose to 718.

Further expansions also took place in the 1970s. The Clinic for Internal Medicine was established in 1972 when the Specialized Hospital for Internal Diseases Hohehorst was joined .

The Institute for Pathology (1975), the Communication Center (1975) and the company building with 68 beds (1978) were built.

The anesthesia intensive care unit (1984) and the gynecological clinic (1988) were created and the surgical clinic was divided into the areas of general, visceral and vascular surgery and trauma surgery. The clinic became owned by the city of Bremen in 1987.

The clinic for medical geriatrics and rehabilitation with day clinic (1995), the center for outpatient and short-term inpatient surgery (1996), the practice for magnetic resonance tomography (2000), a day clinic with anesthesiology (2002), a dialysis station (2002), the Medical Emergency Service (2002) and the Clinic for Psychiatry (2002/03) were opened. The clinic became the third recognized vascular center in Germany.
