history
prehistory
The history of the Schweinfurt hospitals begins in 1233 when King Heinrich VII , a great-grandson of Barbarossa , placed a hospital he had started under his protection. The Schweinfurt Hospital Foundation was founded in 1338 .
The Schweinfurt Hospital Foundation has its origins in the Hospital of the Holy Spirit, which was founded in 1338. A building from the Middle Ages has been preserved from the hospital to the present day, immediately west of the Holy Spirit Church .
In 1898 the first building of the municipal hospital was built on the current campus of the Leopoldina Hospital, a brick building that is still preserved today and is a listed building. In 1930 the first expansion was carried out with a modern, five-story new building in the New Objectivity style . All of the buildings remained undamaged during the war years.
Construction of the Leopoldina Hospital
Based on a city council resolution in 1969, the large new clinic was built by extensive expansion of the campus in a north-easterly direction. In January 1970, the planning, carried out by the city's building department, began. On March 1, 1974, the then Lord Mayor Georg Wichtermann broke ground. His successor Kurt Petzold laid the foundation stone on December 7, 1974, and the topping-out ceremony was held on December 5, 1975. In 1977 the number of beds was reduced from 891 to 656, as population forecasts and length of stay tended downwards significantly. The rescheduling led to delays in construction. The house was handed over on May 15, 1981, with all specialties of a specialty hospital. The construction costs amounted to 242 million marks, for which there were 85% subsidies.
In the first year, 16,800 patients were admitted to the Leopoldina and 850 employees were employed. In 1984 the offer was expanded with the opening of the neurological and neurosurgical clinic. In 1998, it was decided to make the clinic an independent company within a municipal group. Further expansions to the range of services came in the following years, with a special ward for strokes , an attending department for eye diseases , a center for spinal surgery and a radiation oncology clinic. In 2006 the hospital received an independent clinic for child and adolescent psychiatry .
Campus expansions
In 2011 the hospital building from 1930 was demolished. A referendum on the preservation of the building had failed, which saw it as an example of a modern building from the interwar period worth preserving . The health park was built on the site as the seat of the medical care center (MVZ) of the clinic. The brick building from 1898 now houses a school. The last construction phase of the MVZ has not yet been carried out due to an objection from a neighbor. There is still an excavation pit here.
In 2020, the campus was enlarged to the south beyond Mainberger Straße. A second parking garage is currently being built here.
Departments
The range of medical services is divided into 15 bed departments and the medically managed institutes for radiology and neuroradiology , pathology and nuclear medicine , laboratory medicine and hospital hygiene. In detail these are:
