history

The hospital was founded in 1927 by the order of the Sisters of Charity of Saint Charles Borromeo . It had departments for internal medicine, nerve, nose and ear diseases as well as x-ray and physiotherapy.

Albert Blau also played a key role in the planning and founding of the Carolus Hospital . Until 1933 he was chief physician at the Carolus Hospital. Due to his Jewish faith, he lost his office after the National Socialists came to power . Today a street in the Weinhübel district is named after him.

After the fall of the Wall, the hospital was expanded to include two newly built ward blocks. The old building was also completely renovated and adapted to the new medical requirements. The Borromean Sisters remained the sole sponsors of the hospital until the end of 2003. As of January 1st, 2004, the Malteser company took over the sponsorship and incorporated the house into the Malteser Betriebsträgergesellschaft Sachsen gGmbH .

Building

The hospital was set up in the former manor house of the Rauschwalde manor. The third floor of the simple building is set off by a surrounding eaves cornice . The floor above has mansard windows . In the middle of the building there is a slightly protruding porch and on the roof ridge is a clock tower with a golden cross.

The historical wing extends from the main building by the pond in a northerly direction. This is followed by another part of the building in the northeast direction. The newly built ward houses were attached to the main building on both sides. There is a park with a chapel in the inner courtyard of the historical building complex.

Specialist departments & institutions

The hospital also has a sleep laboratory , a treatment facility for type II diabetes and a palliative care unit .
