history
The Luisenhaus was built in 1898 from foundation funds as a retirement home and women's foundation. The building served this purpose until the beginning of 1945. After the end of the war, the city district administration moved into the rear building in May 1945, while Soviet soldiers lived in the building on Braunsdorfer Strasse. After they released the front building in 1947/48, the district health department moved in. The opening of a polyclinic was already planned at this point, but first of all, urgently needed accommodations for nurses from the Friedrichstadt hospital were set up in the rear building for about a year .
The Löbtau Polyclinic was inaugurated on August 15, 1949. After the newly opened polyclinics in Friedrichstadt , Blasewitz and Trachau , it was the fourth in Dresden , which was still badly damaged. Ten specialist departments were housed on the three floors of the rear building, plus a laboratory, X-ray department, pharmacy, etc. In the first year, 60 employees looked after around 500 patients a day. The rooms in the rear building quickly became too small and the call for a second polyclinic was loud. Since the outpatient clinic as an independent outpatient department did not have enough specialists, it was attached to the Dresden-Friedrichstadt Hospital on July 1, 1952. From 1959, departments were gradually relocated to the front building , community nursing stations were established in the building and branch offices were set up, mostly in practices of retired doctors. These branch offices included, for example, the health resort opened in 1958 at Deubener Strasse 25, the practice at Alfred-Thiele-Strasse 8 (from September 6, 1973) and, in the last years of the GDR, the general medical practice at Malterstrasse 45. The number of Polyclinic employees increased to 115 in 1969 and more than 260 in 1973. In 1969 the polyclinic was declared an independent institution again.
After the political upheaval and the reorganization of medical care, the city of Dresden (Office for Health and Social Affairs) had the Luisenhaus extensively renovated between 1991 and 1993 for 8 million DM and converted into a health center. Today a pharmacy, several resident doctors, foot care, physiotherapy, naturopathic and cosmetic practices as well as various psychological and medical advice centers of the city administration use the former polyclinic. The Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB) operates the “Luise” senior citizens' meeting place in the former Luisenhaus. There has also been an ambulance station on the site since November 1992, operated by the ASB ambulance service until 2010, and since then by the Maltese . The entrance is on Grumbacher Straße 28.
