history

In 1969 the city council decided to build a new hospital in Ingolstadt to replace the hospital in Sebastianstraße. Initially, the site at the Volksfestplatz behind the Friedenskaserne was chosen as the location, but then the current location outside the city center was chosen. However, after some initial difficulties, construction did not begin until 1977 and in early 1982 the first patients could be treated in the clinic. The construction costs amounted to around 400 million DM. In the following years the complex was expanded and supplemented several times. Today, as part of a general renovation, which is planned over a period of around 20 years, there are always construction sites and changes.

The construction work for the first phase of the renovation has been completed. The new operating theater, obstetrics and neonatology went into operation in mid-2017. From 2018 the intensive care units and the examination and treatment area will be renovated. These measures are to be completed in the western part in 2021 and in the eastern part in 2024. The areas of urology, radiology and pharmacy are expected to start in 2021. The planning for the new laboratory building should be completed in 2018. Living space for employees and trainees is also to be created in this building. The requirements for the new building for psychiatry and psychosomatic medicine have been determined.

In 2016, the clinic's ombudsman encountered economic irregularities. The public prosecutor's office accused the long-time managing director Heribert Fastenmeier of hiring relatives through third-party companies on economically unacceptable terms and of placing orders on unusually high terms. He is also said to have accepted tax consultancy services and other advantages free of charge in return for awarding the consulting contracts of the clinic himself. Fastenmeier resigned in 2016 under the impression of the investigation and was taken into custody in April 2017 due to the risk of blackout. In addition to Fastenmeier, relatives, executive employees and Ingolstadt's former mayor Alfred Lehmann were also investigated . In November 2017, Fastenmeier was charged with suspicion of breach of trust in 99 cases, the acceptance of benefits in three cases and bribery at the Ingolstadt Regional Court . Fastenmeier committed suicide at the end of December 2017. His lawyer criticized the excessive length of pre-trial detention, and of the 99 cases of breach of trust, 88 included giving lectures during working hours without the fee being paid.

Medical care center (MVZ)

The Ingolstadt Medical Supply Center is connected to the clinic . The four-storey building is connected to the main building by two passages and, in addition to a pharmacy and a cafe, houses several medical practices, through which outpatient care was brought closer to inpatient care - similar to a polyclinic.

garden

The extensive patient garden was included in the state horticultural show in 1992 . There are also sculptures made of Carrara marble in the patient garden.
