The Klinikum Worms is a specialized care hospital based in Worms .
history
Until 1888, health care in Worms was ensured by a number of smaller facilities, such as the Bürgerhospital , which stood where the Worms District Court is located on the Obermarkt today, the Hochstift or the Martinsstift opened in 1869 as a "ward" by Niederbronn sisters . The latter was also a hospital from 1894 and worked until 1978. There was also the Sophienhaus, an evangelical private clinic, and the Mathildenheim, which specialized in childbirth . In the second half of the 19th century, however, these smaller facilities were no longer sufficient for the rapidly growing city, so that a city hospital was built on Mainzer Strasse on what was then the northern outskirts of the city. It started operating on October 14, 1888.
The new building was built on the then northern outskirts of the city as a three-wing complex according to plans by the city architect Karl Hofmann in the neo-Renaissance style . The middle wing extended along Mainzer Straße, two side wings each along Johanniterstraße and the gate ring. The hospital pharmacy stood in the center axis of the facility, back in the park as a separate pavilion. The house initially had 105 beds and was expanded several times from 1905. In 1902, clinic director Lothar Heidenhain successfully operated on a diaphragmatic hernia for the first time . In 1912 it got its own department for internal medicine . In the 1920s the hospital already had 270 beds and by the outbreak of the Second World War it had added wards for ear, nose and throat medicine , ophthalmology, and skin and sexually transmitted diseases . It now had 800 beds. During the Second World War, the hospital was damaged by the air raids on Worms , but it was able to continue working with around 2/3 of its capacity. In 1946 Hans Dörr took over the hospital and managed the reconstruction. A children's clinic was added, followed by anesthesia and pathology in the 1960s . The last expansion at the old location was a nuclear medicine department in 1976 .
In 1976 the foundation stone was laid for the new building in Gabriel-von-Seidl-Straße on Herrnsheimer Höhe near Worms-Herrnsheim near Worms-Hochheim . On June 3, 1981, the hospital moved. In September 1981, Social Affairs Minister Rudi Geil officially inaugurated the city hospital. The historic building on Mainzer Strasse was demolished. Only the historic iron fence that enclosed the site has largely been preserved. A little more than half of the hospital grounds remained undeveloped and became Hans-Dörr-Park .
In 1994, the eye clinic that had existed since 1943 was closed. In 1995 the orthopedic clinic opened.
In 2000 the company was converted into a non-profit GmbH and on January 1, 2007 it was renamed Klinikum Worms. In 2006 the clinic was expanded to include a new building for radiation therapy. From 2008 to 2009 a new magnetic resonance tomograph (MRT) was put into operation and digital X-ray image processing (PACS) was introduced. In addition, the kitchen and scullery were completely renovated. At the end of 2009, the clinic acquired the Da Vinci SHD System surgical robot , which is used in urology, gynecology and visceral surgery. In 2012, a new cardiac catheter laboratory and a new computer tomograph (CT) went into operation.
With the takeover of the Evangelical Hospital Hochstift Worms, there has been another location with a clinic for geriatrics since April 1, 2015.
