The Regional Association of Church Hospitals (RkK) is a German hospital company under whose roof several Roman Catholic hospitals and an inpatient hospice in southwest Baden-Württemberg came together on January 1, 2000 . The company in the legal form of a non-profit GmbH is based in Freiburg im Breisgau and in 2009 employed 1750 people.
With over 623 beds , over 26,000 inpatients and over 40,000 outpatients treated annually, around 13,000 inpatient operations and over 1,700 births, the RKK Klinikum is the largest healthcare provider in southern Baden after the Freiburg University Medical Center.
The RKK Klinikum also operates two health and nursing schools for adults and a health and children's nursing school at its clinics. The St. Josefs and Loretto Hospitals are academic teaching hospitals of the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg .
history
The association was founded at the beginning of 2000. As the four shareholders no longer see themselves in a position to keep and run the clinics in the long term due to their age and personnel structure as well as financial possibilities, the group was put up for sale.
In 2019, the Barmherzigen Brothers Trier ( BBT Group ) seemed to be a new owner that matched the Christian values of the previous shareholders. In the first step, BBT took over the management of the RkK from August 2019 . In May 2020, however, the BBT Group announced its withdrawal from the medium-term intended transfer of the shares, as the necessary investment outlay currently and will continue to exceed its possibilities. The interim agency also ended in July 2020.
In August 2020 it was announced that the RkK will be taken over by the Artemed clinic group based in Tutzing (Bavaria) by the end of 2020 at the latest , provided the Federal Cartel Office and Freiburg Archbishop Stephan Burger agree. Artemed wants to keep the 2,000 jobs and make investments in the double-digit millions.
St. Elizabeth Hospital
_1717_01.jpg)
The St. Elisabeth Hospital in Freiburg's old town was a specialist hospital for gynecology and phlebology with 26 beds. It was part of the association from the start, but was closed at the end of 2012 and integrated into the St. Josef Hospital. It became known above all because, according to the vernacular, only Freiburg residents who were born there were allowed to call themselves Bobbele .
The St. Elisabeth Hospital goes back to the Freiburg city councilor Mathilde Otto , who was given the management of the poor and family care department by Caritas founder Lorenz Werthmann during the First World War . In 1925 she founded the St. Elisabeth Sisterhood in Freiburg, which was able to acquire the house at Dreisamstrasse 15 as the mother house. When a floor there became vacant in 1928, city councilor Otto set up the maternity home for poor mothers there, which was able to open in February 1929 and was looked after by resident doctors. The nurses of the mother house took care of the patients. After a trained midwife was accepted into the community of sisters, two sisters were trained as midwives that same year.
In 1931 an extension could be put into operation. The hospital survived the bombing raid on Freiburg on November 27, 1944 unscathed. In 1949 it was granted a license to set up a gynecological department and was later recognized as a specialist hospital for gynecology and obstetrics.
With 1,600 births per year, the clinic was in second place behind the Freiburg University Hospital in terms of the birth rate. The clinic lagged behind in the advancement of technical developments in obstetrics and was also no longer fully utilized due to the decline in the birth rate ( pill kink ). For this reason, beds were made available to resident physicians specializing in phlebology and breast surgery . On January 1, 2002, obstetrics was relocated to the St. Josef Hospital and the range of services was increasingly geared towards gynecology and phlebology. In addition, the Elisabeth Hospital became a goal of the Center for Breast Diseases in South Baden.
When it closed at the end of 2012, the clinic had 1200 square meters of floor space, 50 beds and was looked after by 25 nuns who will continue to be represented on the RKK's supervisory board. By then, almost 60,000 children had been born in the hospital. The gynecology department was moved to the Josefskrankenhaus, the phlebology department moved to the Loretto hospital. The RKK could not implement plans to set up an outpatient surgical center with overnight accommodation according to hotel standards due to cost reasons and a lack of parking spaces. On December 6, 2012, the first child was born in the new St. Elisabeth maternity ward in the Josefskrankenhaus, an hour after it was opened. On the same day, Caritas celebrated the move of its Caritas Academy to the second floor of the former St. Elisabeth Hospital.
The clinic buildings at Dreisamstrasse 15, 17 and 19, which were built by Max and Carl Anton Meckel , are now protected as a cultural monument in accordance with Section 2 of the Monument Protection Act.
Brother Klaus Hospital
The Brother Klaus Hospital in Waldkirch , with its 108 beds, is the only acute care clinic in the network that is not located in Freiburg. It is also a primary care hospital.
The previous hospital goes back to a hospital fund of the Margarethen monastery, the date of which is not known. The monastery existed around 918, the hospital church was first mentioned in 1178. In 1809 the poor hospital was converted into a hospital. Sisters of the Order of St. Vincent von Paul, of whom the first arrived on November 3, 1853. On September 14, 1874, the foundation stone for a new medieval hospital building was laid in Freiburger Strasse , which was inaugurated on October 16, 1876. In 1913 a second floor was added to the building.
In the course of a further expansion planned from 1953, it was decided not to continue operating the hospital due to its location on the busy street and its dilapidated condition. For this purpose, the Brother Klaus Hospital was built on the Hehrebühl and inaugurated in May 1956. St. Nikolaus was closed on May 31, 1956 and has served as a retirement home ever since.
The Franziskus GmbH in Freiburg, which later became the Congregation of the Franziskanerinnen Erlenbad eV in Sasbach, was responsible for the Brother Klaus Hospital. In addition to 175 beds in the internal medicine and surgery departments as well as in a gynecology / obstetrics department, the hospital had a sanatorium on the third floor . A nursing school was built in a neighboring extension.
By 2001, as part of a complete renovation of the building, the planned beds were reduced to 110, the functional areas were expanded and an interdisciplinary optional service station was set up on the third floor. The 40 beds in the sanatorium had already been given up after 1972, which made space for use by the hospital.
Since April 1, 2019, the Bruder Klaus Hospital has been part of the BDH Federal Rehabilitation Association as the BDH Clinic Waldkirch .

Acute clinics
St. Joseph's Hospital
The St. Josef Hospital in Freiburg is a standard care hospital with 282 beds. The hospital in the Neuburg district is popularly known as the “city hospital”.
On March 13, 1845, at the invitation of Archbishop Hermann von Vicari, sisters of the Cooperative of the Daughters of Christian Love were accepted by St. Vincent de Paul in the Grand Duchy of Baden ; this was the first nursing congregation in Baden. On December 27, 1846, the first six sisters came to Freiburg from Strasbourg. Since the statutes approved by the Grand Duchy required the construction of an own mother house , a piece of land near the hospital was purchased in order to build one there, which could be occupied in May 1853. This made it possible to set up their own novitiate , the postulants had previously had to go to Strasbourg for this purpose.
On January 1, 1872, the surgeon and university professor Albert Schinzinger set up a private surgical clinic in the lower rooms of the motherhouse. Another part of the house was used by doctors from other medical schools. Due to the increased need for space (a subsidiary, St. Josef, had already been rented in Starkenstrasse), the change in the hospital system and the need to better train young nuns in a health course, the congregation decided to set up its own on the premises of the motherhouse To build hospital. Construction work began in 1884 and was successfully completed with the opening in February 1886. The motherhouse church was built as early as 1880/81.
The hospital had a private surgical clinic and a gynecology with obstetrics under the direction of Alfred Hegar . An extension from the years 1912 and 1913 according to plans by the architect Hugo Geis enabled an additional department for internal medicine, an operating theater, an X-ray facility and outpatient departments. The health course became a nursing school, which was officially recognized in 1920. In addition, some of the young sisters were trained in the Freiburg university clinics.
During the First World War, the hospital was used as a military hospital. An eye department was added in 1919, followed by an ENT department in 1939 . During the Second World War, the civilian population was cared for in the hospital before it was partially destroyed in the bombing of November 27, 1944 . The doctor Küpferle, two patients and a sister in the motherhouse died during the attack. Around 20 beds were moved to the Mez Villa at Karlsstrasse 34 as a ward.
The destroyed Josefskrankenhaus (only the green-tiled entrance had survived the attack) was rebuilt by 1949 (west wing) and 1951 (east wing), the motherhouse and the new motherhouse church followed until 1957. The St. Carolushaus, built in 1903, was rebuilt in 1961 (and was meanwhile demolished and replaced by a new building on the other side of Habsburgerstrasse). The existing 101 beds were increased by 60 more in 1955 with the addition of a new garden wing .
In 1978 a functional wing was added and renovation work was carried out on the existing building. The result of these measures were four new operating theaters, modern sanitary areas, a new intensive care unit with seven and a nursing ward with 24 beds. In 1980 the sisters took over responsibility for the St. Hedwig Children's Hospital. The Josefskrankenhaus was expanded by 69 beds by the end of 1988, 48 of which were in a pediatric ward with an adjoining neonatal ward with 8 beds. A prone approach was created with an emergency room, a cafeteria on the top floor, a reflectorium for the nuns and an underground car park with 109 spaces. The Marienapotheke, whose roots go back to 1875, was integrated.
In 1996, a left heart catheter measuring station was set up in the inner department and the former apprentice home of Herder Verlag was rented for conversion into associated practices. In 1997 the hospital had 282 beds. In 1999, discussions began to establish the hospital company that exists today. In 2012, another new building was completed, into which the gynecological department of the St. Elisabeth Hospital moved on January 1, 2013 as an occupational department.
Two ambulance vehicles of the German Red Cross Freiburg are stationed at the St. Josefskrankenhaus and are in operation around the clock. The medical director of the ambulance service for Freiburg also comes from the St. Josef Hospital.
Loretto Hospital
_01.jpg)
The Loretto Hospital is also a standard care hospital in Freiburg im Breisgau. It has 207 beds and employed around 550 people in 2010. It takes its name from the Lorettoberg in the Freiburg district of Wiehre , on the east side of which it is located.
Similar to the Josefskrankenhaus, the Loretto Hospital was initially a small hospital, whose 35 beds were used by physicians in Freiburg for their private patients. It was founded in May 1921 by the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph from the St. Trudpert Monastery in the Münstertal. The hospital gave them the opportunity to train their junior staff in their own nursing school.
From 1926 to 1929 the bed capacity was increased to 90. In addition, independent specialist departments were set up: in addition to a department for internal medicine and surgery, a gynecology department was set up, which was temporarily headed by chief physician Paul Diepgen . During the time of the Second World War, the adjoining connection house of the student association KDStV Hercynia Freiburg im Breisgau was also used as a military hospital. In the mid-1950s, the St. Trudpert Monastery acquired the Villa Tannenhof at Mercystraße 6, where Prince Johann Georg von Sachsen lived for almost twenty years from 1917 . Today the management, the administration, the nursing service and the nursing school are located here. The next expansion of the hospital was carried out in 1960, so that the hospital had 230 beds. Further construction work in 1982 and 1996 led to the establishment of the Urology and Orthopedic Surgery departments and the ENT department.
In May 2011, another new building was inaugurated, which is an additional floor on the flat roof of the existing operating theater wing. The new building for almost 12 million euros, which was carried out while the clinic was still in operation, resulted in four new operating theaters plus side rooms. At that time there were 25 nuns still working in the hospital.
Karl-Josef Hospice
The in-patient hospice Karl-Josef, founded in 2001 together with the Leibinger family at Freiburg Türkenlouisstrasse 22, ⊙ , for which the RkK has taken over the management of the business , is also part of the association.
history
The building was built after World War II by the federal government for the soldiers of the French garrison and their relatives and was administered by the Federal Property Office after the French troops had left . The AIDS-Hilfe Freiburg eV built the house, with financial support from the German Fund for AIDS hospice house Rainbow to the early 1990s. Since AIDS was less and less likely to lead to death due to new drugs, the business was no longer profitable after about five years and was discontinued. At the same time attempts were unsuccessful to set up a general inpatient hospice for the region, but there was a lack of investment funds and a provider. So, after the sale of his medical technology company , Karl Leibinger and Helmut Schillinger, the then managing director of the regional association of church hospitals, came together. With the support of the RkK supervisory board chairman Superior Waldraff, they founded a non-profit GmbH on December 5, 2000 and bought the Regenbogen house. The new name of the house is made up of the first names of Karl Leibinger and that of Josef von Nazaret , the patron saint of the dying.
