The Red Cross Hospital Bremen (RKK) is a clinic in Bremer Neustadt , directly on the Little Weser . It is the only clinic in Bremen that has been an academic teaching hospital of the Hannover Medical School since October 2005 . The RKK covers basic and emergency care for all areas of surgery and internal medicine.
history
The hospital was founded in 1876 as a club hospital by the Red Cross, a forerunner organization of the German Red Cross as a non-profit organization, and started operations on July 3rd in a new building on Osterstrasse. From the beginning it was affiliated with a state-recognized nursing school, for which the association for the training of nurses had campaigned from 1872 on. The majority of the funds for necessary building projects were raised by the citizens of Bremen. On the occasion of his golden wedding anniversary, the Bremen merchant Carl Schütte , brother of Franz Ernst Schütte , donated the construction costs for a small extension. Enrique Sattler brought modern surgery to Bremen. At his instigation , the first X-ray machine came to Bremen in 1910, just 15 years after Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen discovered X-rays . In 1926 it was named Willehadhaus by the Red Cross after Willehad , the first bishop of Bremen.
When Georg Strube took over the management of the house, it consisted only of the mother house, private house and a barrack. Under his direction, the house was gradually expanded and expanded. In 1937 the hospital was transferred to the German Red Cross.
After the end of National Socialism in 1945, the assets were transferred to the newly established Foundation Red Cross Hospital Bremen and the association Bremen Sisterhood of the Red Cross eV founded. In 1949 the hospital separated from the sisterhood and became a foundation under private law.
The first dialysis facility in Bremen was created at the RKK in 1969 and a pain therapy department was set up in 1980, which today is unique in northern Germany with twelve inpatient beds .
The foundation statutes were rewritten in 2004 and the Red Cross Hospital Bremen gGmbH was founded, which now takes over the hospital operations.
