history
In 1904 the state hospital on Altenwalder Chaussee was able to accept 40 patients. Two barracks were built for expansion, but were soon in need of renovation.
The Hamburg Senate therefore ordered the construction of a hospital with around 140 beds in 1925. The two- storey clinker brick building from 1927 with hipped roofs , two small side wings, a basement and the wide three-storey central risalit was built in the style of reform architecture and the New Building according to plans by Hamburg's chief building director Fritz Schumacher . After the Hamburg period, the city of Cuxhaven took over the hospital in 1937 and leased the former naval hospital (later the city archive) from the state in 1948.
The new building of the hospital from March 1964 was a seven-storey yellow brick ward block with 12 wards and 397 beds. The gynecological ward with 40 beds and the delivery rooms remained in the converted old building. In Cuxhaven there is a tradition of radio medical advice to seafarers all over the world, which still exists under the name Medico . The hospital was privatized in 2004 (Rhön-Kliniken AG) .
The Helios Klinik Cuxhaven of Helios Kliniken GmbH (Berlin) has been part of the hospital complex with 10 specialist departments, 191 beds and over 10,000 inpatient and around 25,000 outpatient cases (2019).
The Lyceum from 1929 in Cuxhaven, today the Lichtenberg-Gymnasium Cuxhaven Schulstrasse 18, and an extension of the Amandus-Abendroth-Gymnasium originate from Fritz Schumacher .
