history

The Kempten Clinic is located on a plot of land acquired by Otto Merkt in 1936 on the Reichelsberg. In 1952 an architectural competition was announced and in 1958 the foundation work began according to the plans of the architects Godehard Schwethelm and Walter Schlempp . In June 1961 the first construction phase could be opened. The ward block was opened in 1964. After three construction phases, the new Kempten city hospital on Robert-Weixler-Strasse was completed in 1970.

In 1980 the city hospital received the rescue helicopter Christoph 17 , the Bölkow Bo 105 was replaced in 2007 by a Eurocopter EC 135 .

In 1997, the expansion from the city hospital to a clinic began, with the goal of unity. In several sections, specialist departments were newly built or renovated. In November 2012, the 100 patients remaining in the former Kempten District Hospital on Memminger Straße moved from the departments for hematology, oncology, palliative medicine, gastroenterology and cardiology to the new hospital. The work at the clinic was completed in 2016.

Sponsorship

With the regional reform of 1972, the city of Kempten and the newly created Oberallgäu district founded a clinic working group. The hospital association Kempten-Oberallgäu emerged from the working group in 1987. The operation of two different hospital buildings in Kempten was considered lossy and made an annual loss of five million DM .

In 1995 the Klinikum Kempten-Oberallgäu gGmbH was created , which was able to alleviate the financial problems, in 2010 the Klinikverbund Kempten-Oberallgäu gGmbH was established , which also includes clinics in Immenstadt im Allgäu , Oberstdorf and Sonthofen .
