history

The royal horticultural director, tree nursery and plantation owner Max Buntzel had a palace -like villa built in the Renaissance style on Falkenberg in Bohnsdorf . Due to financial difficulties, Buntzel had to sell the villa again a few years later. The villa changed hands several times before it was acquired by the Catholic St. Hedwig Hospital in 1924 . This clinic had the Hedwigshöhe Hospital - named after Saint Hedwig , Duchess of Silesia - built here, including the villa , initially to create a rest home for employees and recovering patients. The inauguration and opening took place on August 23, 1925. The Sisters of Mercy of St. Karl Borromäus took over the nursing care. In the following years the convalescent home proved increasingly unprofitable. Between 1938 and 1940 Hedwigshöhe served as a training center for young priests of the Berlin diocese . In August 1941, the Gestapo first occupied the house and prohibited services . The clergy had to move out within 48 hours. The Wehrmacht then had a hospital set up, which in the same month took in the first wounded, who were taken care of by the nuns who remained in the house. That was the beginning of the nursing activity in Hedwigshöhe.

After the end of the Second World War , the former military hospital continued to be used as a hospital for the care of the civilian population. In September 1945 the house was already occupied by around 100 patients. In the same year, the construction of a barrack began , which was initially intended as an epidemic station , but then served as an infirmary until 1992. Substantial structural changes followed in the 1950s and 1960s. This included setting up an own pharmacy , an X-ray department and an outpatient clinic, as well as completing a new farm building. The gable of the villa was removed in 1968 and replaced with a new, unadorned roof. In May 1983 the foundation stone was laid for a new ward block, which was gradually completed and occupied between 1989 and 1992. In 1992 the hospital management closed the barracks as an infirmary. In the same year, the Hedwigshöhe Hospital was recognized as an academic teaching hospital of the medical faculty of the Humboldt University in Berlin, today Charité.

The building stock was gradually renovated and significantly expanded in the years that followed. In 2003, with the construction of several pavilions for the psychiatric clinic, the previously exclusively somatic performance profile was expanded in order to ensure full psychiatric care for the Treptow-Köpenick district since then. The first construction phase for somatic was completed in 2006, two stations for internal medicine and one station for surgery moved into the new building. With the completion of the second construction phase in 2007, a new surgical center with three operating theaters and an internal diagnostics department began operations. The Berlin fire brigade also set up an ambulance base. The nuns worked in the hospital pastoral care until September 2007 and then return to their mother house in Trier . In 2009, an interdisciplinary intestinal center and a radiological institute opened. The emergency room was expanded and modernized the following year. With the opening of a geriatric psychiatry outpatient clinic in January 2011 and a clinic for geriatrics in April 2011, the range of services extended again.
