The Coburg Clinic is a specialist care hospital (care level II) based in Coburg .
The clinic has 510 beds and 22 specialist departments. Since January 1st, 2008 it has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of regioMed-Kliniken GmbH. Previously it belonged to the Coburg Hospital Association, which is still the owner of the clinic's land and buildings. Members of the association are the city of Coburg and the district of Coburg .
history
On July 1, 1862, the rural hospital opened in its new building, which had been planned by Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Streib , at Allee 7. But as early as 1887, the conditions with inadequate rooms and poor furnishings were criticized in an expert opinion. At the end of the 19th century, a fundamental renovation or, alternatively, a new building was discussed. In 1899 the Coburg state parliament voted by a majority for a new building, the location of which the ducal state ministry planned to be on a plateau outside the core city in Ketschendorf . In the same year, the ministry acquired the property from the Gottwald family on which a villa was built.
The Nuremberg city architect Heinrich Wallraff designed the new building with around 100 beds and calculated construction costs of 470,000 marks. The Coburg state parliament approved the construction costs in 1901 and provided an additional 10,000 marks for the interior. The Gotha architect Richard Klepzig was entrusted with the construction management. Construction began in June 1901. On May 1, 1903, the hospital began operations seven months late. The inauguration was followed on 13 July 1903. Since, among other things, the cost of the interior have been totally underestimated and additional clarification and disinfection system and a sewer were required, the new building rose in price by about 30 per cent to 697,380 marks. The new country hospital in pavilion form was in 1903 with 128 beds and included the former, converted "Gottwald'sche Villa" as the main building, two pavilions, a farm building with boiler room, kitchen and laundry, home to the hospital director, a porter and a morgue with Section room .
On June 1, 1904, the ducal state government set up an administrative commission, which, under the chairmanship of Max Oscar Arnold , was supposed to monitor the economic operation of the rural hospital in particular. In 1904 there were 564 inpatients who were cared for by a chief physician and two assistant physicians as well as one head nurse and sister, two guards, three guards and two assistant guards. The operating costs amounted to 55,700 marks and were each covered to about half by subsidies from the state and daily patient rates.
When the Free State of Coburg was united with the Free State of Bavaria, the State Treaty regulated the continued existence of the hospital under Item IV of the final protocol. The Coburg Hospital Association was agreed as the sponsor of the former state hospital , which was formed on August 27, 1921 with retroactive effect to July 1, 1920 by the municipalities of the former Coburg Free State. The Free State of Bavaria undertook to take over three-quarters of the association's deficits, whereby this commitment could be replaced by a one-off compensation sum. This was done in 1975, with the payment being used as equity for a new building.
In 1928 the main building was expanded for the first time. Between 1930 and 1933 the pavilions were extended. After that, the rural hospital had 232 beds. After no investments had been made for twenty years and the facilities and equipment no longer met the usual standard, major construction work began in the early 1950s. The six-storey internal medical clinic was built and the farm building was expanded so that 537 beds were available in 1956. In the 1960s, a new building for the administration, laundry and children's clinic as well as a staff dormitory followed. In 1971 there were 626 beds with 89.5 percent occupancy with 12,508 patients and an average of 16.3 days of stay.
In 1968, the Free State of Bavaria classified the Coburg rural hospital in its hospital planning as the main supply facility, which was followed by extensive expansion plans in the mid-1970s, which in 1975 provided for a final capacity of 730 beds. The implementation of the planning was delayed due to financing problems. In 1977 the hospital was finally classified according to the Bavarian hospital requirements plan as a house of specialty care (level II) with 650 beds and started working as a teaching hospital of the University of Würzburg on April 1st . The revised planning in 1980 resulted in construction costs of around 241 million DM. On March 1, 1982, the groundbreaking ceremony for the first construction phase was finally followed by four more. At the end of 2002 the construction work was completed with a total construction cost of around DM 325 million, including around DM 60 million for medical devices. Since then, the clinic has consisted of five new building complexes, a park pallet with 193 spaces (one deck was added in 2009), the converted administration building, the former main surgical building and the building of the former children's clinic.
The enclosed space of all buildings, on an area of around 50,000 m², has been around 240,000 m³ since then. In 2001, 522 beds were maintained at 85.5 percent occupancy with 20,880 patients and an average of 7.8 days of stay. By 2007, the number of inpatients had risen to over 25,000 with an average length of stay of around 6.3 days. In March 2016, the University of Würzburg canceled the teaching hospital contract because the Regiomed hospital association had concluded a cooperation agreement with the University of Split in Croatia .
Sponsorship
On 1 January 1976, the city and county Coburg founded the Zweckverband hospital Coburg as new ownership. In the association's collection, the district is represented by the district administrator as chairman and another six members of the district council, the city of Coburg by the mayor as deputy chairman and three members of the city council. On January 1, 1999, the country hospital was renamed Klinikum Coburg gGmbH, the partner is the Coburg Hospital Association. On April 1, 2001, the subsidiary Klinikum Coburg Service GmbH was founded , which employs around 220 employees in areas such as cleaning and scullery, but also in medical areas, for example as medical assistants or nursing assistants. Since January 1st, 2008 the clinic has been cooperating with five other hospitals in Schleusingen , Lichtenfels , Sonneberg and two in Hildburghausen in the non-profit regioMed-Kliniken GmbH. For this purpose, the Zweckverband took a 25% stake in regioMed-Kliniken GmbH and contributed the clinic with the movable assets as a deposit. Land and company buildings of the Coburg Clinic remained with the Zweckverband.

Planning for a health campus in the northern part of Coburg
In 2016, plans for the medium-term construction of a health campus on the fallow area of the former Federal Border Guard barracks in the north of Coburg became known for the first time. The main component is to be a new large clinic with around 750 beds, which will be supplemented by further care and service components, such as patient hotels or rehabilitation facilities. The new large clinic is intended to replace the existing Coburg Clinic, as the capital requirement for the renovation and expansion of the previous clinic is estimated at several hundred million euros. This is only slightly less than the planned complete new building. In addition, the existing clinic property in the Coburg Südstadt is already so tightly built that larger extensions are difficult to implement.
