history
Approaches from the Esslingen hospital system can be found up to the year 1200. The St. Katharinen Hospital in Esslingen stood on today's market square until 1800. Due to the rapid growth of the population, a foundation was set up in 1859. In July 1862 the hospital was opened under the name "Private Hospital Foundation" on Ebershaldenstrasse (today's town hall area). The city of Esslingen participated in this project even then. The hospital had the character of a public hospital under the supervision of the municipal council. At the end of 1868 the city of Esslingen took over the hospital. The purpose of this hospital was "the healing and complete feeding of the sick". Shortly after the discovery of X-rays in 1901, the hospital was one of the first hospitals in Germany to be equipped with an X-ray machine. The number of beds was already 75 in 1906.
In 1926 it was decided to build a new hospital, this was built in the "Hirschlandkopf" area. The new building was completed and opened in 1930. The hospital area at that time is the origin of today's hospital complex. A general development plan, which included all new buildings created and planned by the end of the 1970s, and the buildings that had existed up to then, was decided in 1961.
There are three support associations at the Esslingen Clinic that work for the well-being of the patients. These are the development associations “proklinikum - Förderverein Klinikum Esslingen eV”, “Herzklopfen eV” and “Zahngold für Kinder”.
The Esslingen Clinic has 19 buildings in which 12 specialist clinics and wards, event and conference rooms, dormitories, administration, casino and cafeteria are housed.
