The Weiden Clinic is a 2nd level hospital in Weiden in the Upper Palatinate . It is the largest and central facility within the Kliniken Nordoberpfalz AG and at the same time the teaching hospital of the University of Regensburg .
history
Due to the cholera and the lack of medical care, the government of the Upper Palatinate requested the construction of a district hospital in the Weiden-Parkstein region in 1848 , and a construction plan was approved on August 19. Previously, in Weiden, which at that time housed more than 2,000 residents, sick people were treated in a back room of the then poor house , which had four beds. In 1862, the established district hospital was divided into a local hospital for the residents of Weiden and a district hospital for the residents of the surrounding communities. Shortly afterwards, due to poor hygiene, a new building was built in what is now Gabelsberger Strasse. In 1911 the hospital was redesigned to cope with the increasing number of residents in Weiden. As of October this year, the hospital will accommodate 54 beds for the city's 14,000 residents. At the beginning of the war in 1914, the number of beds was doubled and a field hospital was built in the hospital. After refugees increased the number of residents to 40,000 in 1945, the overcrowded hospital had to be expanded to 200 beds in 1954, and a nursing school was built as part of the hospital . In 1961, the children's clinic in Weiden, the most modern in the Upper Palatinate, is put into operation on the neighboring site. The hospital has been expanding steadily since 1980, and a completely new building was also discussed. However, this was discarded in the 1980s and the Weiden Clinic has been subject to a constant modernization process ever since. Since 2002, the Weiden Clinic has also been the teaching hospital of the University of Regensburg.
