The non-profit company has 1775 beds and 100 day clinic places at three locations in Chemnitz. In 2019, a total of around 72,000 patients were treated as fully inpatient and partial inpatient as well as 150,000 outpatients at the Chemnitz Clinic. It operates radiation therapy in Zschopau , the social therapy facility in Rossau and the polyclinic in Schneeberg , which is housed in the rooms of the former miners' hospital.
The Klinikum Chemnitz gGmbH group with its 12 subsidiaries and holdings employs more than 7,000 people, making the company - after VW Saxony - the second largest employer in the former Chemnitz sub-division. The Group's turnover in 2019 was around 529 million euros.
The stroke unit at the clinic, like the level 1 perinatal center , the breast and the intestinal center, is one of the units of supraregional importance; the clinic was also selected as one of three model regions for geriatric networks in Saxony.
The company is wholly owned by the city of Chemnitz.
history
The clinic emerged in 1994 from the Chemnitz City Clinics. Its historical roots lead to a "hospital at the gates of the city", which is mentioned in a document in 1350, and the St. Georg Hospital, which is mentioned for the first time in 1395. In the centuries that followed, medical care was tied to the development of the city, but remained on a modest scale.
Due to the population growth in Chemnitz from 100,000 (1883) to 360,000 in 1930, new hospital buildings became necessary, which were mainly built by the municipality from the middle of the 19th century to the end of the First World War . On April 11, 1905, today's Dresdner Strasse hospital was put into operation as a psychiatric hospital in Chemnitz . In 1915 the city built the hospital in the Küchwald and in 1918 the women's and infant clinic.
With the construction of the district hospital , one of the largest hospitals in the GDR was finally put into operation in the early 1980s. Little changed in the poor condition of the old buildings. The medical technology available in the municipal clinics was also far from the western standard. An exception was the acquisition of a Siemens computer tomograph , which was put into operation in 1987 in the Karl-Marx-Städter district hospital.
The political change in 1989 made a turning point necessary. Bed numbers, which were indispensable at the time due to the lack of nursing home places, were no longer tenable. In addition to the old buildings, some of which were over 80 years old, even the so-called new building of the district hospital from 1983 showed considerable signs of wear and tear. After economic problems in the post-reunification period, the city's own operation was converted into a non-profit company. After years of deficit, it was possible to continue to be in the black from now on, restructuring and realignment could be approached more sensibly and sustainably. It implemented a targeted investment policy based on three pillars: staff with a high standard of training and further education, contemporary and future-proof real estate and the introduction of the latest medical technology.
The publicly accessible medical history collection at the Küchwald location provides insights into the history of the clinic with exhibits from 22 departments, some of which date from the 14th century.
The hospital funding program set up by the Free State of Saxony proved to be essential for the development of the property at Klinikum Chemnitz gGmbH . In the course of this program, a large number of the old buildings at three locations were extensively renovated and converted step by step. Today these buildings correspond architecturally as planned with the new buildings from the GDR era and the add-on buildings from the 1990s. Borna lung sanatorium, founded in 1911 on the outskirts, was integrated into the main locations of Flemmingstraße and Küchwald in the 1990s, as was the Scheffelstraße hospital established in 1946.
The complex reconstruction and renovation work inside the ward block of the former Karl-Marx-Stadt district hospital, which was built from 1979 to 1981 in the style of New Objectivity , is also almost complete . In 2008, the futuristic architecture extension of the Flemmingstrasse 2/4 clinic complex was put into operation.
The Chemnitz Clinic has given up the attempt to take over the Mittleres Erzgebirge gGmbH after the Federal Cartel Office announced a prohibition. The clinic became the majority shareholder in the miners' hospital in Schneeberg, which ceased in-patient operations in January 2020.
In 2013, with the 11th update of the hospital plan, the Saxon state government decided that the Chemnitz Clinic would become a maximum care provider; it became the first non-university in East Germany.
