history

Takeover of the municipal hospitals

Already during the land negotiations for the construction of a campus for the Medical and Natural Science University of Ulm (later: Ulm University ), considerations arose in the first half of the 1960s for the construction of a clinic for the medical faculty of the new university. At the same time, the city administration was also discussing a new building for the municipal hospitals with around 1,200 beds in the various clinics on the Safranberg, on the Michelsberg and in Söflingen. However, trusting the upcoming construction of a university clinic with around 2,000 beds, the decision was made against the new building initially planned on the Kuhberg.

However, due to the poor financial situation of the state of Baden-Württemberg at the time, the hoped-for construction of the university clinic did not take place. Instead, negotiations began between the city of Ulm and the state about a takeover of the municipal hospitals by the state in order to make them available to the university. These ended in December 1966 with the agreement that the university's hospitals should initially be left for 10 to 15 years. However, the clinics remained in the hands of the city; the state only paid for the costs of the medical staff and for research and teaching.

Between January 1, 1967 and July 1, 1970, the city clinics ( internal medicine and surgery on the Safranberg, gynecological clinic and children's clinic on the Michelsberg) were restructured for the tasks of the university. In addition, new departments were set up, such as anesthesiology and intensive care medicine . Only the urology department on Michelsberg and the municipal hospital in Söflingen were not affected by the restructuring . The departments for ophthalmology and ear, nose and throat medicine on the clinic grounds at Michelsberg had not been taken over by the state and were instead operated jointly by the city of Ulm and the Bundeswehr .

The new clinic on the Obere Eselsberg

In the first few years after university medicine moved into the municipal hospitals, it became clear that the model of a sponsorship with two administrations (town and country) and an additional involvement of the Bundeswehr could not be sustained. As of January 1975, and the busy city council of the city of Ulm with this precarious situation and reiterated the country over again its position that it had the municipal hospitals only reason ceded to the university because of the speedy construction was to be expected of a new university hospital.

The establishment of a new clinic called for by the city was strengthened by a memorandum presented by Rector Ernst-Friedrich Pfeiffer in June 1975 on the further development of Ulm University over the next ten years. After the "Medicine" committee of the Science Council visited Ulm in March 1977, the university concretized these plans: From 1978 to 1982 a new clinic was to be built on the campus of the university on Eselsberg , with a total of 360 beds for internal medicine has been. In the longer term, internal medicine should also be followed by the surgical clinic with 300 beds as well as the ENT clinic, the eye clinic and dermatology on the new clinic premises on Eselsberg. The children's clinic, the women's clinic and the urology should remain on the Michelsberg in the long term. The establishment of a psychiatric university clinic in Ulm was not viewed as a priority.

The excavation of the construction pit for the new clinic on Eselsberg began in March 1979, and the foundation stone was laid in June. In 1982, when the topping-out ceremony for the new clinic was celebrated, the city of Ulm and the state of Baden-Württemberg signed the "Agreement on the takeover of the municipal hospitals in Ulm by the state of Baden-Württemberg", which led to the establishment of the Ulm University Hospital. The clinic was organized as a non-legally competent state enterprise according to § 26 State Budget Code of Baden-Württemberg . The inauguration of the new clinic with 330 beds for internal medicine took place on June 21, 1988; A lack of funds in the meantime had delayed the completion of the new building several times.

New construction of the surgery on the Obere Eselsberg

Former main building of the surgical clinic on Safranberg (built in 1912).

As early as 1977, the university management stated that most of the clinics on campus on the Obere Eselsberg would be merged over the longer term. The surgical clinic of internal medicine was to follow as the first specialization on the site in today's science city in the north-west of Ulm. However, more than three decades would pass before the surgery actually moved.

Despite the renovation of the surgical clinic, which opened in 1912 and the former municipal hospital on Safranberg, which began in 1997, the construction of the hospital was stopped at the latest by the early 2000s, among other things due to the 4- to 5-bed rooms and the cramped conditions there spatial conditions as no longer up to date. Therefore, the planning began for a completely new construction of the surgery in the neighborhood of the internal medicine on the Eselsberg . In addition to the surgery, the new building should also house the dermatology and anesthesiology departments and provide space for 235 normal beds, 80 intensive care beds and 15 operating theaters . The budget was around 190 million euros for the construction and another 50 million euros for the initial equipment. For the first time in the history of the German university clinics, the university clinic itself took over the sponsorship and the building owner function .

The new building, around 180 m long, 150 m wide and 25 m high, took four years to build between April 2008 and May 2012 within budget and time frame. The official opening ceremony took place on May 10, 2012 in the presence of Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann . Dermatology was the first clinic to move into the new building on May 18, followed on June 15 by the 118 patients of the four surgical clinics and the anesthesiological intensive care unit as part of a four-hour move while the clinic was still in operation.

Todays situation

In its current organization, the Ulm University Hospital comprises 24 clinics and 15 institutes under its own sponsorship and five other clinics with external sponsorship. According to the hospital plan of the state of Baden-Württemberg, it has a capacity of 1,274 planned beds (as of March 2018). Around 49,000 inpatients are treated annually. There are also around 290,000 outpatient treatments (cases per quarter). The clinic employs a total of 6,400 people, including more than 850 doctors and 1,500 nurses.

From its foundation in 1982 to 1997, the University Hospital was a non-incorporated state enterprise according to § 26 State Budget Code of Baden-Württemberg. With the entry into force of the new University Hospital Law (UKG) Baden-Württemberg, it was converted into a legally competent institution under public law of the University of Ulm on January 1, 1998 .

In June 2016 the clinic came into the focus of the media after the multi-resistant germ Acinetobacter baumannii was detected in one of the intensive care units in three patients . The clinic management thereupon imposed a freeze on admission to the affected ward in coordination with the in-house clinic hygiene section and the responsible health department . The patients who tested positive for the bacterium were isolated and cared for and treated in accordance with strict hygiene regulations; the station itself was thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Thanks to the measures taken, further spread of the pathogen could be prevented.

Future of the University Hospital: the "Upper Eselsberg Master Plan"

New building plans as part of the "Oberer Eselsberg master plan" (as of November 2017)

With the move of the surgical clinics and dermatology to the campus on the Obere Eselsberg in 2012, a further step in a process that was planned in the 1970s was achieved, namely the bundling of all departments of the university clinic together with the university on a common site in the middle the science city. On June 30, 2018, after surgery and dermatology, the urological clinic moved to the Science City campus as the next department. By combining wards and areas, the previous 50-bed clinic is also housed in the new surgery and dermatology building. Only the pediatric urology will remain on the Michelsberg until further notice due to the proximity to the children's clinic. What will happen to the premises previously used by urology at the Michelsberg site has not yet been determined. It is planned to combine the previously separate emergency departments for surgery and internal medicine to form a central interdisciplinary emergency department (ZINA) for autumn 2019.

In 2017, the hospital board presented a concrete master plan that includes the long-term measures for the relocation of the other hospitals to the Obere Eselsberg in the next 30 to 35 years. Contrary to the previous plans to expand the ward block of the surgical clinics by additional floors for the move - these considerations were dropped for static reasons - the concept provides for an extensive new construction program. In a first step, a "Department for Oncology" is to be built to the east of the surgical clinics by the mid-2020s , in which large parts of the previous clinics for internal medicine I (gastroenterology, endocrinology) and III (hematology, oncology), but also Parts of surgery, dermatology and radiation therapy are to be combined. A connecting building is planned between surgery and oncology, in which the central patient admission, the outpatient departments and the ultrasound center will be housed. The hospital board estimates the costs for these first new building measures - oncology and connecting buildings - at around 150 to 200 million euros.

The next module is to form a "head clinic" to the east of the planned oncology department by the mid-2030s , in which the eye clinic and the ENT clinic are to be combined. As a provisional completion of the new building measures, a third module is to be built on the site of today's hospital administration by the mid-2040s, into which the children's and women's clinic, which was previously located on the Michelsberg, is to move. After a general renovation, the psychiatry currently located on the Safranberg will be housed in the internal medicine, which will then be empty. In addition, the development of its own Department of Neurology in the previous internal medicine is considered, as far neurology of the university and rehabilitation clinics Ulm (R KU) as part of a nationwide unique solution in joint sponsorship of the University Hospital and the Sana Kliniken AG is .

Locations

Due to its development from the Ulm Municipal Hospitals, the individual departments of the University Hospital are distributed across different locations within the city and outside of Ulm. By far the largest location today is the campus of Ulm University on the Obere Eselsberg in the north-west of the city, the so-called science city . In addition to the hospital administration, the clinics for internal medicine , radiation therapy , nuclear medicine , orthopedics , neurology , and since June 2012 the surgical clinics , anesthesiology , dermatology , radiology and psychosomatics, and since July 2018 urology are located here . Most of the other clinics are located on the Michelsberg, for example the women's clinic or the children's clinic . The buildings there go back to a large extent to the site hospital of the Ulm garrison built between 1916 and 1920 and were taken over by the city of Ulm in 1945 .

Until the surgical clinics moved out in June 2012, the clinic grounds on Safranberg were also a large location for the university clinic. The representative hospital building there, built in Art Nouveau style , was opened as the municipal hospital in 1912 and was the main building of the clinic until the inauguration of the new medical clinic on the Obere Eselsberg in 1988. Today only psychiatry , child and adolescent psychiatry and sports and rehabilitation medicine are located on the Safranberg .

In the past, the University Hospital also had two other branches in the city: Psychosomatics on the Kuhberg and Dermatology in the former Söflingen Municipal Hospital (both until 2012). Today there are no longer any hospital facilities at these two locations.
