history

The Landshut Clinic was built in 1965 as a municipal clinic. The new building made it possible for the 4 city hospitals that had existed until then and were in poor condition, the general hospital in Ländgasse (today's adult education center), the department for infectious diseases in the Ottonianum (today's Landshut youth hostel) together with the "Iron Lung", the clinic for geriatrics and chronic Illnesses in the Adelmannschloss and the Elisabeth Hospital for Internal Medicine and Surgery (today's pension office) are combined in one place and in a modern building. When it opened, the clinic initially consisted of two ward blocks (a 5-storey and a 10-storey one), a treatment building and an infection and radiation building, as well as the farm buildings and an attached hospital chapel. Since then, the clinic has undergone numerous structural and structural changes. In 1972 the 6-bed rooms set up at the beginning were divided into 3-bed rooms. In 1975 the Landshut Clinic was named the Academic Teaching Hospital of the Ludwig Maximilians University. In 1977 the teaching building with a lecture hall for medical students and the establishment of a vocational school for nursing followed. In 1978 the Institute of Pathology was finally put into operation. At the beginning of the 1980s, several occupancy departments were installed at the clinic. In 1986, the new 8-story bed house 3 was inaugurated, in which the two-bed standard was introduced for the first time. In the 1990s, the existing ward blocks 1 and 2 were adapted to the twin room standard with integrated bathrooms. As a result, a total of 603 planned beds was achieved. At the same time, a new functional building and a representative glass roof hall were built. The range of medical services has also been consistently expanded since the 1990s, particularly in oncological care. The Landshut Clinic today covers the entire spectrum of conventional medicine, with the exception of cardiac surgery and transplant medicine.

On January 1st, 2003 the clinic was privatized and transformed into a GmbH. The city of Landshut is the sole shareholder of Klinikum Landshut gGmbH. The supervisory board, which consists exclusively of elected city council members, appoints a managing director. The chairman of the supervisory board is the mayor of the city of Landshut.

Outpatient tumor center (MVZ)

The Medical Supply and Diagnostic Center (MVZ for short) was founded as a subsidiary of Klinikum Landshut gGmbH in 2009 to ensure outpatient follow-up care for cancer patients as well as a complete, extensive outpatient pre- or further treatment. The MVZ is also run as a non-profit GmbH and has its own practice management. The commercial director of the clinic is also the managing director of the MVZ. The practice was initially set up outside the clinic. With the opening of the health center at the clinic, the company moved into its own practice rooms in the new building. At the MVZ, the leading doctors from the clinic work in the fields of hematology / oncology, radiation therapy and nuclear medicine as resident physicians who use the clinic's resources as consultants. This means that patients with statutory health insurance have access to further outpatient treatment through radiation therapy and oncological follow-up care or the spectrum of outpatient chemotherapy, immune hormone and antibody therapy for incurable cancer patients and complete nuclear medicine diagnostics, including PET / CT, which is otherwise not available outside the hospital.

The MVZ has its own laboratory and works independently of the clinic.

With the opening of the health center, the outpatient spectrum at the clinic was expanded, so the chief physician of the neurosurgical clinic has now opened his own practice there and the chief physician of the radiological clinic has set up a private institute for magnetic resonance diagnostics. The clinic itself maintains an outpatient operation center in the new building.

In order to avoid confusion with the Ophthalmic Care Center and the MVZ at the Landshut Children's Hospital, the MVZ at the Clinic has been the Landshut Outpatient Center since 2014 .

Health center at the clinic

The health center at the clinic was planned in 2010 by the private construction group Schütz from Munich, which among other things specializes in the construction of medical houses, marketed as a health center, in particular in the immediate vicinity of hospitals and has already realized numerous such objects throughout Germany. For this purpose, the old nuns' home at the entrance to the clinic was torn down in 2011 and a 4-storey new building was built on the forecourt of the clinic, at the entrance to the emergency room. The building is a two-part system construction developed by the Schütz Group, which enables medical centers to be set up quickly. In the basement there are spacious cellars for the tenants. In the basement, on the open side, there is the employee underground car park of the health center, on the side facing the clinic the outpatient operation center of the Klinikum Landshut gGmbH.

On the ground floor facing the hospital forecourt (mezzanine floor) there is a row of shops with a bakery, a cosmetic studio, a hairdresser with a wig studio, a health food store, a center for occupational and hand therapy, a medical supply store and an outpatient care service as well as a specialist shop for breathing systems. The division of the building into two creates an inviting entrance hall and a terrace with cafe seating.

On the two upper floors there are numerous medical practices that work with the clinic, including the MVZ operated by the clinic, the private practices of the chief physicians working at the clinic and the practice clinic for oral and maxillofacial surgery, which operates a department in the clinic.
