Main building and old gatehouse of the OZK in Hubertusstraße in March 2008

The Sana Klinikum Lichtenberg , formerly Oskar-Ziethen-Krankenhaus (OZK), in Berlin-Lichtenberg is a medical facility for specialized care that was built between 1910 and 1914 to obtain city rights. The buildings from the first construction period are under monument protection.

Since 2005 the hospital has been part of the Sana group , which had extensions built in several stages.

Building history of the OZK

Since 1900, the rural community of Lichtenberg had applied for city rights several times; connected with this was the existence of municipal facilities such as a district court, police station and hospital. For the construction of the necessary hospital a 34 hectare site of the master carpenter and bailiff Waldemar Atzpodien was bought , which was between Frankfurter Allee , Siegfriedstrasse, Fanningerstrasse and Atzpodienstrasse.

The local council entrusted the planning of the hospital to the architects Carl Mohr and Paul Weidner from Berlin-Charlottenburg . According to the modern aspects of the construction of hospitals at the time, several individually standing clinic buildings as well as a separate heating and power plant and a pure supply building were planned on the sloping hilly terrain. The foundation stone was laid on July 3, 1911, and the construction work was carried out under the direction of the City Planning Officer Johannes Uhlig. As early as October 1914, the Lichtenberg hospital was able to start work with 450 beds for patients. The construction costs amounted to 2.1 million marks, which put a considerable burden on the city coffers (Lichtenberg had meanwhile become a city).

"Private station"

One ward was intended for private patients, as a cartridge over a doorway shows.

All buildings are provided with gray scratch plaster and contain only very sparingly used facade decorations.

Development of the Lichtenberg Municipal Hospital

From the opening to 1933

Courtyard side of the main building with a green inner courtyard

The street that goes from Frankfurter Allee and leads to the former fields on Schwarzen Weg (later Gotlindestraße) has been called Hubertusstraße since 1896 . This street now crossed the premises of this medical facility, which is why it was also called the Hubertus Hospital . A solid wall surrounded the area, which had access from Hubertusstrasse and Fanningerstrasse. The following buildings and facilities were available: Isolation wards in small two-storey villa-like houses, a maternity clinic , operating theaters, a separate building for the treatment of private patients, utility wing, boiler house, morgue. The main wing was a U-shaped building with palace-like architectural features in neo-baroque forms with emphasis on the middle (the first construction also included a roof gable and a central tower), flat pilasters that extend over the two basement floors, a surrounding cornice over the second floor, mansard roofs . - The "U" opened to the south, to Frankfurter Allee. A well-tended green area with benches still invites patients and visitors to take a short walk. In 1920, the first communal pregnancy advice center in Berlin was set up in the maternity ward of this hospital .

The Lichtenberg Hospital was named on January 20, 1933 after the first Lord Mayor of Lichtenberg, Oskar Ziethen , who had died a year earlier .

time of the nationalsocialism

The new Lichtenberg district administration began in March 1933 with extensive replacement of important offices. Paul Harpe, a member of the NSDAP, became head of the health department and was responsible for all municipal facilities . This decreed a so-called purge of the medical profession by dismissing all doctors of Jewish faith or with Jewish relatives, regardless of their previous services. Medical staff who were judged not to be loyal to the leaders also had to leave. Within a short period of time, 12 out of 15 senior doctors in Lichtenberg were discharged. This led to catastrophic consequences in the clinic facilities because hardly any new specialists were available. In the OZK, the medical director, the heads of the maternity department, the x-ray department, the pathology department, as well as numerous employees, nurses and workers were dismissed by the end of 1934. The care of the sick could only be carried out poorly.

From 1934 a special department for hereditary pathology was set up in the OZK to enforce the “ Law for the Prevention of Hereditary Diseases ” , which served as a basis for the later euthanasia campaigns . The head of this department moved to the Herzberge Sanatorium in 1942 ; his whereabouts are not known. The exact activity of this special department could not yet be clarified, as all results were strictly locked. Further measures to adapt to the politics in the spirit of National Socialism were operative sterilization, the forced entry of the nurses into the sisterhood of the Reich capital Berlin founded in 1939 and thus their integration into the National Socialist community .

Organizational changes were made through the assignment of the auxiliary hospitals Lindenhof in Gotlindestraße and the former Cecilien-Lyzeum in Rathausstraße to the previous headquarters, the final completion of the maternity hospital in Atzpodienstraße and thus the establishment of a children's infection station , the transfer of children's orthopedics from the Charité to the OZK, the opening of a blood donation center in 1940 and a human milk collection point also in 1940.

The maintenance of hospital operations with the increasing number of beds required expansion measures at the boiler house, the laundry and the main kitchen. At the same time, a general redevelopment plan was drawn up in 1939, the core of which was the construction of a new X-ray and bathing department and the renovation of the existing children's hospital. The estimated cost was 3.655 million RM .

When the Second World War began, none of the planned measures could be implemented. Instead, shelters had to be set up, a bunker built and an air raid fire brigade founded. Reserve beds had to be kept for the reception of the wounded and air raid drills were carried out regularly. The call-up for military service and military service obligations of the medical staff led to massive staff shortages caused by the transfer of war temporary employees should be offset by the employment offices and the use of students and trainees. The use of foreign workers has not been proven for the OZK.

In 1941 the entire children's clinic was outsourced from the OZK to the Lindenhof area, and from July 1942 the schools Marktstrasse 2-3 and Marktstrasse 10-11 were added as additional makeshift hospitals for the OZK , which were operational until 1943. The course of the war meant that complete alternative hospitals including equipment and accompanying staff were established. A hospital in Blankensee near Teltow served as an alternative facility for the OZK , to which the first patients were transferred on August 11, 1943. The accommodation was not permanent, however, by the end of 1944 all the sick had returned to Lichtenberg and the facility in Blankensee was closed.

Mass grave for the bomb victims

From January 1944, Lichtenberg was repeatedly the target of bombs, on May 8th the OZK's kitchen was destroyed. Further bombardments between February and April 1945 led to severe damage to the entire hospital grounds, in the last months of the war or a short time later, 200 people died as a result, who were buried in a communal grave in the courtyard of the main building. A bronze commemorative plaque with the names of all the victims is in one of the bushes in this courtyard. The destruction of all buildings of the OZK was estimated at around 65 percent.

Sick residents, exhausted refugees and injured people waited for medical help in the remaining overcrowded stations. Most of the senior doctors had left the facility.

Oskar Ziethen Hospital until 1990

After 1945, the Soviet administration arranged for the hospital buildings to be repaired quickly because they were urgently needed for the medical care of the sick: typhus , dysentery and tuberculosis were added to the war injuries and normal illnesses . Charitable institutions from abroad helped with the provision of bandages, medication and specialist staff.

In a building of the OZK, the health service department of the newly formed Lichtenberg district office began its work, which was related to the civil status of patients. After 1949 this official body was called the Magistrate of Greater Berlin, Department of Labor and Health, Municipal Oskar Ziethen Hospital .

Changes after 1990

The traditional hospital came into the possession of the city of Berlin in 1990, which announced two architectural competitions for extensions (1990, 1992). However, the resulting plans were not implemented. - Instead, the hospital got a commercial carrier in 1992, the Paritätische Unternehmensverbund , which was expressed in the changed name Paritätisches Krankenhaus Lichtenberg . (However , it had not officially dropped the name Oskar Ziethen .) From a medical point of view , it was now part of the Clinotel hospital network . Now the building of the rescue center in Fanningerstraße, which was built in GDR times, was torn down and excavation pits were dug, but all construction work was then suspended for a few years, probably because there were financial problems. In 2008, an overturned board on the shell showed details of the construction companies at the time and a description of the situation. - On the south side of the site, however, the new agency had a new administration building ( medicine center ) built. This curved building was given a new entrance and a new approach to the medical facilities of the hospital; access from Fanningerstrasse was blocked.

Medical Center on Frankfurter Allee, built around 2002

Regardless of any problems, the 90th anniversary of the hospital was celebrated with a ceremony in 2004, which received appropriate attention in the Berlin press.

In 2003, the Lichtenberg District Councilor's assembly launched another architectural competition for the new buildings in Fanningerstrasse. At the same time, those responsible were looking for a new operator for the hospital together with the Paritätischer Wohlfahrtsverband. In February 2005, the Munich-based Sana Group was acquired as the main owner , with around 75 percent stake in the facility. Since then, the hospital in Lichtenberg has belonged to the Sana Kliniken Berlin-Brandenburg GmbH .

Sana Clinic

At the old location on Fanningerstrasse, a new building was completed and inaugurated on October 26, 2007. The building has four floors with an area of ​​around 9,500 m² and now serves as the central main building of the hospital. It houses the new rescue center, patient admission, sterile supplies, radiology and endoscopy . The house has 204 beds and five operating rooms. The construction was publicly funded with 42 million euros, two new buildings should cost a total of 64 million euros.

The excavation pit for the second new building in the north-western part of the site, next to the women's clinic, was provided with a basement and a concrete ceiling at that time. The basement rooms were used to store building materials. Construction was not continued until 2008, for which the State of Berlin provided around 3.3 million euros and the Sana Clinic around 2 million euros. A new mother-and-child center with a gross floor area of ​​5,000 m² was completed on this shell by spring 2012 . The topping-out ceremony took place on September 11, 2010 in the presence of Lichtenberg's mayor Christina Emmrich and Sana Managing Director Schick. As the last construction activity on the site between Fanningerstraße and Atzpodienstraße, the maternity clinic was then renovated. In May 2012, the Lindenhof Children's Hospital began to move gradually to this new building. There is a modern child rescue center and a children's sleep laboratory . This parent-child center is designed to treat around 15,000 children per year. From 2013 the previous location of the children's hospital was completely given up. After the historic building had been vacant for a long time, a housing company bought the property and has been building several residential buildings on Lindenhof since 2014, known as the Lindenhof residential quarter .

The Berlin Charité was won as the hospital's medical partner , for which the Oskar Ziethen Hospital, together with the children's clinic, is now also an academic teaching hospital .

Individual houses from the first construction period have now been renovated or rebuilt inside and out and have been given the latest medical equipment. The architectural redesign of all houses on the clinic premises was completed in 2011.

The following departments exist in this hospital (as of the end of 2012): Rescue center for adults, children and adolescents, internal medicine (with gastroenterology / geriatrics and cardiology ), surgery , orthopedics with trauma, hand and reconstructive surgery , gynecology with a breast center, diagnostic departments with radiology , Anesthesiology and intensive care medicine, parent-child center for paediatrics and adolescent medicine (the completion of the site concentration was honored with a festive event on May 10, 2012).
