history
The history of the Robert Bosch Hospital goes back to 1915. In this year Robert Bosch founded the foundation initiative of the Stuttgarter Homöopathischen Krankenhauses GmbH , since the establishment the hospital was considered a homeopathic hospital, because Bosch saw a supply gap in this area for Stuttgart. He himself made three million marks available for the initiative . First, in 1921, a provisional homeopathic auxiliary hospital with 70 beds was founded in Marienstrasse . In 1936, on the occasion of the 75th birthday of Robert Bosch and the 50th anniversary of Robert Bosch GmbH, plans were started to build a new hospital in the form of a foundation on the Pragsattel in Stuttgart.
On April 10, 1940, Robert Bosch opened the Robert Bosch Hospital on Hahnemann-Strasse. Since this house soon became too small after the war and could no longer be adapted to the modern conditions, construction began on the Bergheide at the current location of the hospital almost 25 years after the end of the war in 1969. The new house was inaugurated on March 28, 1973. The old building has been the seat of the Stuttgart police headquarters since 1978 .
In 1978 the Robert Bosch Hospital was named the Academic Teaching Hospital of the University of Tübingen. In 1984 a new cardiac surgery department was opened, in which the first heart operation was performed in October of the same year. In 1998 a clinic for geriatric rehabilitation was established as a further new establishment, which is today the largest rehabilitation facility for old people in Baden-Württemberg.
With the aim of improving patient care, an association Friends and Patrons of the Robert Bosch Hospital eV was founded in 2004 . In 2006 the Schillerhöhe Lung Clinic in Gerlingen and the Charlottenhaus gynecological clinic in Stuttgart are taken over.
Patient garden
The patient garden of the Robert Bosch Hospital is located on the eastern edge of the hospital area, near the Panorama Café (map: "Garden" or "P"). On the circular route you come across two sculptures, the Rising Horse by Fritz von Graevenitz and the bee garden by Jeanette Zippel.
Fritz von Graevenitz: Horse standing up
The Stuttgart-based sculptor Fritz von Graevenitz created the rising horse from Cannstatt travertine (2 m × 1 m × 3 m) in 1934.
- “The widow of the late artist, Jutta von Graevenitz, and their daughter and son-in-law Irmgard and Robert Bosch jun. donated them to the Robert Bosch Hospital in 1973 for the opening of the then newly built clinic at Burgholzhof . Until the renovation, the sculpture stood outside the main entrance. Since July 2008 it has found its place in the birch grove in the patient garden behind the clinic for geriatric rehabilitation. "
Jeanette Zippel: Bee Garden
The sculptor and landscape architect Jeanette Zippel (* 1963) called her 2001 work Lively Wild Bees Sculpture with a Bee Garden . The bee garden was laid out in a niche on the circular path of the patient garden and leans against the area behind with a dry stone wall.
Jeanette Zippel's wild bee sculpture stands in the center of the garden, which is partly laid out with natural stone tiles and partly covered with wild plants suitable for bees . The more than two meter high round sculpture made of layered oak consists of two spindle-shaped parts, "a bee-like lower body and [a] human upper body", and represents "a cultural and historical reference to Artemis , the fertility and protective goddess of bees." Shape of the »figurine sticks« from Silesia, figuratively carved in wood bee houses, which mainly depicted saints ”, suggested Jeanette Zippel to design her bee sculptures.
- “The sculpture is provided with numerous holes, which the wild bees use as a nesting place to lay their eggs. From March to October you can watch them bring in pollen and close the nesting holes with clay, resin and leaves. "
Note: The bee garden art station on the Wartberg in Stuttgart houses a bee garden by Jeanette Zippel with six figurines made of different natural materials in a circular area with a waggle dance path.
