The St. Marien Hospital Siegen is a hospital opened in 1861 on the corner of Pfarrstrasse and Höhstrasse at the western foot of the Giersberg in Siegen in North Rhine-Westphalia . It was founded by Pastor Friedrich Adam Krengel. It has been part of the Marien Gesellschaft Siegen since 2018 .
history
The St. Marien Hospital was the first hospital in Siegen since the expulsion of the Franciscan monks and the associated closure of the monastery hospital in 1534. In 1861, two sisters of the cooperative of the Sisters of Mercy of Saint Vincent von Paul zu Paderborn took over the management . The existing eleven beds were already full in the 1860s, so that the sponsor - the parish of St. Marien Siegen - decided to build a new building at the current location. After the inauguration in 1869, 30 beds were available for general medical treatment. Over the next few decades, the St. Marien Hospital developed into an integral part of medical care in Siegen. At the end of January 2010, the last four remaining Sisters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul left the hospital; the order withdraws from nursing in Siegen.
Building expansions
Due to the great popularity, numerous structural extensions were made in 1905/1906, 1914/1918 and 1928/1930. With 285 beds, the St. Marien Hospital was already the largest and most modern in the wider area in the early 1930s. It did not survive the Second World War unscathed. The last installment of the last mortgage was paid back on December 15, 1944, and the next day it was completely destroyed by a bombing raid. The patients were then treated temporarily in the air raid shelters .
Reconstruction to the present
Since the end of the Second World War, the St. Marien Hospital has undergone numerous structural extensions. In the first ten years after the end of the war, it was rebuilt on the old foundations. In the 1960s and 1970s, the ward block, the treatment wing and the twelve-story traffic tower were built. In 2001 a new extension was built and in 2004 the existing old building was completely expanded. The restructuring and expansion of the examination and treatment area with a central operating room, emergency room, obstetrics and central endoscopy were completed in 2010. Construction work to develop comfort stations began almost at the same time and lasted until 2012. Finally, the Albertus Magnus outpatient center was completed in 2014, the largest single construction project in the history of the clinic. In 2016 the former Clarissen monastery at the Hermitage in Wilnsdorf was acquired. The hospital is building a hospice there, which opened in 2018.
Focus
At the same time, the medical and nursing focus and skills were expanded. Within the framework of the nine main departments, a receipt department and the hospital pharmacy , this has been done in recent years in particular in the areas of cardiovascular diseases, radiology , orthopedics , gynecology and tumor diseases. This is reflected in different centers certified by specialist societies: Endoprosthetics center for maximum care, colon cancer center, gynecological cancer center and breast cancer center. In addition, centers are operated in cooperation with other hospitals. Since 2003, the pharmacy has also been supplying medicinal products to hospitals from other providers.
conversion
In 1988, the St. Marien Hospital in Siegen was the first hospital in the Archdiocese of Paderborn to be converted into the legal form of a GmbH in order to offer space for modern and more economical corporate structures in addition to medical innovations. The establishment of GSS Gesundheits-Service Siegen GmbH - since June 2018 divided into Marien Pflege gGmbH and Marien Aktiv gGmbH - and the formation of the group of companies in 1996 should be seen as a consistent further development towards a holistic provider of health and care services . In 2005, the MVZ Medical Care Center at St. Marien Hospital Siegen GmbH - renamed Marien Ambulant gGmbH in June 2018 - was registered. Finally, the Siegen-Wittgenstein Catholic Social Foundation was founded in 2010. Another foundation took place in 2014 with the establishment of the Educational Institute for Health Professions in Südwestfalen GmbH, in which the Siegen District Hospital and the DRK Children's Clinic are involved in addition to the St. Marien Hospital in Siegen. This institute has around 300 training places in health, sick and elderly care. The hospital is a co-founder of the Center for the Digitization of the Economy at the University of Siegen.
Together, the St. Marien Hospital Siegen concentrates on the classic core tasks of a hospital, while the other companies perform complementary tasks and operate five residential and care facilities (Marienheim in Siegen, St. Elisabeth House in Netphen, Mother Teresa House in Niederfischbach, Haus St. Raphael in Burbach and Haus St. Klara in Friesenhagen), of service residential complexes, of café facilities and acts as the operator of the Albertus Magnus outpatient center and the therapy center. With the MVZ, interdisciplinary collaboration between different medical specialties is achieved. The MVZ has branches in North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate.
At the end of 2017, the company announced that it would give itself a new structure. This was implemented in June 2018. Since then, the Marien Gesellschaft Siegen has acted as the umbrella , under which five other divisions - Marien Ambulant, Marien Aktiv, Marien Hospiz and Marien Service - are found in addition to the hospital, called Marien Kliniken. Finally, a cooperation was concluded with other hospitals, which should make it possible to train medical professionals at the newly founded Faculty of Life Sciences at the University of Siegen. The hospital sends a member to the faculty council. In 2018, Klinikservice Siegerland GmbH was founded together with the district clinic with the aim of reorganizing the food supply in the clinics. The large kitchen she runs was finally opened in 2020.
The first managing director was Dieter Korn (1988–2007). From 2008 to 2019, Christoph Rzisnik and Hans-Jürgen Winkelmann were jointly responsible as managing directors. Hans-Jürgen Winkelmann has been the sole managing director since 2020. Hubert Berschauer has been administrative director since then.
In addition to supplying the population, the hospital is also an important economic factor and, with almost 2,100 employees, is one of the largest employers for the city and the region.
