history
The first public hospital ( Peter-Elisabeth-Krankenhaus ) in Delmenhorst was put into operation on May 4th 1879 on the castle island in the city center. In 1898/99 a women's and a men's wing were added, but the space was no longer sufficient, despite an increase to 115 beds, as early as 1908: the hospital was constantly overcrowded. Therefore, in 1925 it was decided to build a new hospital.
A plot of land on Wildeshauser Strasse (then Wildeshauser Chaussee) was selected as the site, and Fritz Höger was commissioned to implement his design as the architect. The ensemble of buildings that was created, consisting of the main building, infection house, machine house and laundry as well as a double house for doctors, was inaugurated in April 1928 after a two-year construction period. The old hospital in the city center subsequently served as a vocational school, later as an alternative room for the Max Planck Gymnasium, before the side wings were demolished in 1965 and the main building in 1972.
The new hospital on Wildeshauser Straße has been steadily expanded and modernized and received, among other things, the addition of a women's and children's clinic (1953). A small outer building for lung diseases was built (1958), structural extensions were also carried out such as the extension of the attic in the main building, the extension of the women's and children's clinic and the commissioning of isotope diagnostics (1974). In 1979 an extensive renovation took place, combined with a further extension for operating theaters, the central reception and today's entrance area. In 2005 the name was changed to Klinikum Delmenhorst , later further expansions, modifications and additions were made. The women's clinic was closed in 2012 for economic reasons. The council resolution of December 22, 2014 decided to merge the municipal clinic Delmenhorst with the previous local competitor, the shareholders of the Catholic St. Josef Stift, by forming a holding structure.
On July 14, 2015, Thomas Breidenbach took over the management and on December 18, 2015 the Clinic Delmenhorst GmbH was renamed JHD Deichhorst gGmbH .
Since January 1st, 2016 the JHD Mitte (formerly St. Josef-Stift Delmenhorst) and the JHD Deichhorst (formerly Klinikum Delmenhorst) have been operating under the umbrella of Josef-Hospital Delmenhorst gGmbH .
From 2002 to 2005 the nurse Niels Högel was employed at the clinic, who is charged with up to 322 murders in the Oldenburg and Delmenhorst clinics . Despite a significant increase in deaths and a large number of suspicious factors against Högel, the clinic did nothing. Lawsuits for manslaughter by omission are pending at the Oldenburg Higher Regional Court against two responsible doctors, a deputy ward manager and the head of the intensive care unit at the clinic. The nurse convicted on June 6, 2019 is under revision according to a report dated June 11, 2019. Eight cases of perjury were initiated against witnesses in this trial by the Oldenburg public prosecutor's office and two for false statements.
Facility
The Delmenhorst Clinic has 247 beds and around 442 full-time employees.
