history

With a donation from Prince Heinrich LXVII. (Reuss younger line) in the amount of 2000 thalers, it was decided in 1864 to start building a hospital in Schleiz. In the following year, suitable land was acquired for 500 thalers and construction of the hospital began. In 1866, after a construction period of almost a year, the Schleiz hospital opened with 20 sick rooms. In 1875 the prince approved the construction of a wash house in the hospital, and in the years that followed there were repeated minor renovations. Only in 1926 was the expansion of the hospital continued with a new building. The new building was completed in 1927, which resulted in an increase in the number of beds to 70 to 80 patient beds.

Along with the expansion of the hospital in 1927, an X-ray and radiation room, new bathing and lighting equipment , signal and heating systems , a central kitchen with dining lifts, ward kitchens and day rooms were created for the first time . Another extension followed in 1951 with a total capacity of 300 beds in three construction phases. In the same year, the first construction phase was completed, the other two were stopped because the Saalfeld hospital had priority. The extension was only continued in 1965, with 195 beds and a new operating theater as well as medical baths. As a result, special rooms for diagnostics in the internal department , treatment rooms with shortwave and ultrasound as well as a polyclinic practice in the basement of the hospital were opened in the next few years .

In 1987 a new operating theater and the hospital pharmacy were inaugurated, and in 1994 an intensive therapy unit with 4 intensive care beds and specially trained staff was set up. On October 9, 1998 the foundation stone was laid for the new functional building of Schleiz Hospital, which celebrated the topping-out ceremony in 1999 and was handed over on November 3, 2000. In May of the same year it was decided to merge the Schleiz, Pößneck , Ebersdorf and Ranis hospitals to form the Saale-Orla-Klinikum. The Saale-Orla district revoked this in 2004 and decided to sell the Schleiz and Pößneck hospitals separately, transferring the Schleiz hospital to the management of the Greiz GmbH district hospital .

In 2005, following a resolution by the Greiz District Council, the Schleiz Hospital was transferred to a subsidiary of Greiz District Hospital GmbH. The purchase contract was then legally effective. After successful negotiations, the then Thuringian Minister for Social Affairs and Health, Klaus Zeh , handed over a funding decision of € 6.4 million for the construction of new beds and for the renovation of the old building on July 14, 2005 . The groundbreaking ceremony for the new ward building followed in 2006, the topping-out ceremony and start of construction of the future park facilities and the entrance area on July 19, 2006. On January 5, 2007, the new bed building was handed over and the renovation work on the old building began, which ended in the following years were.
