history

Paulinenkrankenhaus Dickensweg
Paulinenkrankenhaus Rüsternallee

The Paulinenkrankenhaus was officially opened on January 24th, 1913 as the Paulinenhaus Hospital at Eschenallee 28-30 . The association was founded in 1903 by the Paulinenhaus for Nursing and Child Care Association . The focus was initially on caring for poor, needy children. As namesake was Princess Pauline zur Lippe selected, which was known for her social commitment and in 1802 the first child perception Heritage Institute was founded in Germany.

With the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914, the Paulinenkrankenhaus was converted into a military hospital under army administration. The hospital existed until the end of the war in November 1918, although parts of the Paulinenkrankenhaus were used again for civilian hospital operations from April 1917.

In June 1916 a cooperation with the Berlin Siemens companies that lasted until 1982 began. Siemens took part in the modernization of the hospital to give its employees and their family members preferential treatment. From then on, the Paulinenkrankenhaus functioned as the Westender Kiezkrankenhaus.

In view of the great need for renovation and limited expansion options for the old Paulinen Hospital, the sponsoring association acquired the British Military Hospital at the Olympic Stadium, which became vacant after the Allies withdrew. On September 27, 2002, the new Paulinenkrankenhaus was officially opened with a ceremony at the new location at Dickensweg 25–39.

With the move, the previous interior and surgical departments were closed. Since then, the hospital has focused exclusively on cardiac surgery in cooperation with the German Heart Center (since 1995) and the Charité (2005).

present

The Paulinenkrankenhaus looks after patients after interventions on the heart or the main artery as well as before and after heart and lung transplants and after the implantation of cardiac support systems ("artificial hearts") - from the postoperative phase to discharge for inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation or home. The hospital is a cooperation partner of the German Heart Center Berlin and the Charité .

The Paulinenkrankenhaus, called “Pauline” for short in Berlin colloquial language, has 148 beds, which are part of the range of services offered by the Berlin plan hospitals. Of these, there are 127 beds in 5 normal care wards with monitor monitoring of heart rhythm, blood pressure and oxygen saturation at each patient bed. The intensive care unit with its highly specialized equipment includes 21 beds, all of which are equipped with the option of invasive ventilation. In addition, a doctor's and guest house has been in operation since 2007 and a conference center since 2010.

The quality management of the Paulinenkrankenhaus is certified according to ISO 9001 .
