The Klinikum Görlitz is a hospital with a focus on care in the city of Görlitz in Upper Lusatia . The hospital on the northern edge of the city ​​center was opened in 1905 and operates as a non-profit limited company owned by the city.

A total of around 1,200 employees work in the 16 specialist clinics, two institutes and four subsidiaries, who treat, care for and care for around 65,000 outpatients and inpatients every year. The clinic is also the academic teaching hospital of the Technical University of Dresden and offers around 140 training positions at its own medical vocational school .

history

In 1844 the city built a hospital on Salomonstrasse (today: northern Berliner Strasse) near Postplatz in the vicinity of the courthouse. But the building reached its capacity limits at the end of the 1860s. In 1868, the city council decided to expand the hospital at this location. Due to the rapid population growth over the next few decades and the associated increasing medical needs, the city council decided in 1900 to build a new building well outside the city gates.

The city hospital was built between 1901 and 1905 in a pavilion style based on plans by the architect Heino Schmieden . The elongated wing of the building was created along Girbigsdorfer Straße with the dominating three-story main building with a clock tower in the middle. Two transverse wings were attached to the east and west wings. The distinctive street-side stairwells of the transverse wings also have three floors and thus stand out from the connecting structures of the main wing. The frames of the window and door openings of the brick facade are designed as round bars made of shaped stones.

As early as 1870/71 the military hospital for the Prussian units of the garrison town was built on Zeppelinstrasse, east of the later hospital. The fort-like clinker building in the arched style was aligned with plan road no. 11, which was later not realized.

In 1956 the name was changed to the district hospital under the direction of the medical director Heinz Funke . In the same year, urology was spun off from the surgery department and its own urology clinic was established. An infection clinic was also introduced. Ten years later the fifth dialysis center is set up in the GDR.

On July 8, 1972, the new building for the children's clinic in the south-east of the hospital grounds was inaugurated after a construction period of 30 months. The construction cost 13 million marks . After 1945, the children's clinic was housed in a low-rise building on Girbigsdorfer Strasse. In 1950 the children's department moved to the former Hauptsche Klinik in Mühlweg 3. A few years later the clinic was expanded to house Mühlweg 5. The clinic staff used the house at Mühlweg 4. In 1975 the stomatological center moved to Mühlweg 5 .

A pacemaker center was set up in the II. Medical Clinic on Bolesław-Bierut- Strasse (today: Dr.-Kahlbaum-Allee) in 1979 after the first pacemaker operation took place in the same year . The clinic for anesthesia and intensive care medicine was founded three years later.

After reunification, the district hospital became the Klinikum Görlitz gGmbH. The dialysis department was privatized. In 1998 the acute geriatric unit was inaugurated in the former military hospital on Zeppelinstrasse. In 2004, the inauguration of the new central building, costing 42 million euros, followed the main building to the south. The new building houses numerous functional diagnostic departments, the operating rooms and six wards. In the same year, the last department, the Clinic for Psychosomatic Medicine, moved from the premises of the 2nd Medical Clinic to the premises on Girbigsdorfer Strasse. The new building of the clinic for psychiatry and psychotherapy at the Osteinfahrt was inaugurated in 2004 in the presence of the Saxon Minister of Health Helma Orosz . The psychiatry was previously on Jochmannstrasse. Centralization at one location ended with the relocation of the clinics, which had previously been spread across the city. As early as 2002, the medical departments moved from Dr.-Kahlbaum-Allee to the old building of the hospital, thus combining the first and second medical departments.
