history

A Kindsklause was first mentioned in writing in 1320. In 1528 Tuttlingen got a "poor people's house". It was not until 1830 that five sick beds were set up in the Katharinenhospital. In 1846 a separate hospital was created within this old people's home. Due to constant congestion, it was moved to its own building on Steinwasen on Neuhauser Strasse in 1866. Most of the patients were members of the servants' fund, a health insurance scheme for servants and apprentices. Despite an increase in the number of beds to 37 in 1900, the hospital was always overcrowded with 50,000 residents in the district at the time. The Trossingen hospital had a further 25 beds, and 30 patients could be admitted in Spaichingen.

District Hospital Tuttlingen

For a fundamental improvement in health care, construction work began in 1907 on a district hospital on the Leutenberg - the site of today's Tuttlingen health center. In 1909 the building with 70 beds was put into operation. In 1930 a special department for ear, nose and throat diseases and in 1932 an internal department were opened. 1.85 million Reichsmarks were invested in the expansion of the building so that the district hospital now had 200 beds. In 1945 the building was confiscated by the French occupying forces, who set up a field hospital here. Doctors and nursing staff had to move to today's Karlschule with the German patients. After a while, individual departments were housed in houses along Neuhauser Strasse towards the Danube .

In the 1950s and 1960s, the interior of the district hospital was renovated with an increase in the number of beds to 300 beds. A nurses' home was inaugurated in 1967 and the operating theater was expanded in the late 1960s. Between 1977 and 1992 a general renovation took place in three construction phases with investments of almost 100 million DM. In 2001 the Tuttlingen district hospital was renamed "Tuttlingen District Clinic".

Development of the Spaichinger Clinic

After planning work from December 1963, construction of the Spaichingen Clinic began in April 1965. After its completion, the hospital had 57 beds each in the surgical and internal departments and 18 beds in the gynecological department. After just a few years, there were bottlenecks in the gynecological department, which is why an extension was made by creating a ward in the living area of ​​the nuns. The Franciscan nuns from the Reute monastery have been involved in health care since the establishment of the first hospital in Spaichingen. In 1983 a new intensive monitoring unit and the establishment of a central specialist anesthetic care unit were added. Extensive renovation and modernization measures followed over the years.

Consolidation to the Tuttlingen district hospital

On January 1, 2005, the two previously independent district clinics in Tuttlingen and Spaichingen were merged to form a joint clinic with two locations under the name "Klinikum Landkreis Tuttlingen".
