history
In 1854 the city of Herford decided to build a hospital with 80 to 100 beds in the city center. District administrator Georg von Borries provided the financing with loans and appeals for donations. On October 15, 1858, the "Friedrich Wilhelm Hospital" was inaugurated. Medical Councilor Ernst-August Kerstein was the first doctor - part-time - and remained the only doctor at the hospital for the next 31 years.
In 1905/1906 major renovations and modernizations took place, including the installation of electric lights and electrically operated lifts . An expansion of 144 beds planned for 1914 was delayed by the First World War and did not take place until 1927 to 1929. Large parts of the hospital were destroyed in an air raid in 1943.
In 1959, planning began for a new building at the gates of the city. In 1969 the administrative association of the city and district of Herford handed over the responsibility to the district alone, the hospital was now called "Kreiskrankenhaus Herford". In the same year the new building began, which could be occupied in 1973. The Technical Town Hall is now housed in parts of the former building .
In 1983, a psychiatric day clinic was opened under the sponsorship of the district hospital in Bünde - Spradow . Since the 1990s, various extensions and conversions have enlarged the main building and various modernizations have been necessary. In 2004 the bed-leading clinic for psychiatry, psychosomatics and psychotherapy was put into operation. This year, the hospital changed its legal form and has since been trading as a public institution under the name "Klinikum Herford", then also an academic teaching hospital of the Medical University of Hanover was, by then, there was a cooperation with the Westphalian Wilhelms University in Münster.
In 2006, a 100 percent subsidiary, a medical care center (MVZ) with the specialist disciplines of hematology / oncology, pathology and nuclear medicine was founded; Radiotherapy was added in 2009.
In 2015, the Herford Clinic, as the house of the Minden-Herford bidding consortium, signed a contract with the Ruhr University Bochum , which made it a location for the University Clinic of the Ruhr University Bochum .
