history
_von_Norden_1840.jpg)
As early as 1805, the first secular ruler of Fulda, Friedrich Wilhelm von Oranien-Nassau , gave the “go-ahead” for the construction of a hospital by signing the deed of foundation. Clemens Wenzeslaus Coudray , who later became Goethe's architect in Weimar , was given the task of planning the new hospital. The foundation stone was laid in 1806 and the new building was completed in 1810. This is how the rural hospital, also called Wilhelmshospital , came into being, which was considered to be one of the most architecturally valuable classical hospital buildings of the 19th century. The hospital has been owned by the city of Fulda since 1937.
On February 23, 1976, after 40 months of construction, a new clinic was inaugurated. In 1984 the rescue helicopter " Christoph 28 " of the ADAC air rescue in Fulda started its service. It has an operational radius of 50 to 60 kilometers and is intended to relieve the rescue helicopters in Frankfurt and Kassel. The first heart transplant was successfully carried out in 1987, and in the same year it was recognized as an oncological focus. On January 12, 1991 the clinic was expanded to include a psychiatry department.
In 2006 a farewell room was set up in the clinic, furnished with objects by the sculptor Johannes Kirsch .
In May 2007, the hospital reached nationwide by salmonella - epidemic with over 270 patients in the headlines. According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) in Berlin, the salmonella epidemic in Fulda has been one of the largest of its kind in Germany for years. In July 2007 the clinic hit the headlines again due to a legionella infestation of the drinking water. The information policy was particularly criticized. The completed investigations of the Fulda public prosecutor's office into the epidemic came to the conclusion that salmonella was not the cause of death in all of the deceased patients.
Since 2011 there have been an additional 260 beds thanks to an extension. The clinic now has 1007 beds.
In 2010 a premature baby survived in the prenatal center, which was born after 21 weeks and 5 days, and in 2019 another child survived after only 21 weeks and 4 days of pregnancy.
Allegations of incorrect billing
In 2020, the bills of several Hessian hospitals were examined in a large-scale examination process. As a result, the Fulda clinics were also the target of public prosecution investigations.
