history
Municipal hospitals
The city council of Essen decided on July 15, 1905 to build a city hospital. Four years later, on July 29, 1909, the municipal hospitals were opened. At that time they had 481 beds in a dermatology clinic, a maternity ward and a general medical clinic. An eye clinic was added a year later, and a gynecological clinic in 1913. In 1931 the children's clinic went into operation. The Robert Koch House, named after the famous physician, was opened in 1936 for biological and chemical research . When another medical clinic was completed in 1940, the municipal hospitals had around 1,400 beds and employed over 700 people. One patient spent an average of 25 days in this hospital at this time. In the Second World War , the entire complex of the municipal hospitals was almost completely destroyed, so that the energy and water supply also came to a standstill. At the end of 1944, 45 beds were housed in air raid shelters, while others had to move to other hospitals.
After the end of the war, reconstruction began, in 1950 the children's clinic and three years later the medical clinic opened. In 1955 the bed capacity with 900 employees was 1450 beds again after the operational center and the women's clinic were reopened. Shortly afterwards, the new administration building was put into operation. In 1958, a neurological department was set up with the help of funds from the former Edmund Lührmann Foundation . In 1962 the first pacemaker was implanted and the first dialysis was performed.
University Hospital
In 1963, the Essen Municipal Hospitals became the second medical faculty of the Westphalian Wilhelms University of Münster . In 1967 the clinic became part of the newly founded Ruhr University Bochum . In 1972 the clinic was transferred to the University of Essen, which was merged into the University of Duisburg-Essen in 2003 . In 1973 the state of North Rhine-Westphalia took over the sponsorship of the clinic, in 2001 it became an independent institution under public law .
After the conversion into a university hospital, many new clinic buildings were built. The newly built Robert Koch House opened in 1964. In 1967 the new ENT and Eye Clinic as well as the Radiation and Tumor Clinic began operations, from which the West German Tumor Center later emerged. The women's clinic was rebuilt in 1999, the West German Heart Center Essen in 2003 and the West German Headache Center in 2005. The outpatient building of the West German Tumor Center went into operation in 2008, the Dermatology Clinic in 2009, the Medical Center in 2011 and the ward building of the West German Tumor Center in 2012. In 2006, construction began on the West German Proton Therapy Center , which began operations in 2013.
Since 2009 the Ruhrlandklinik in Heidhausen and since 2013 the St. Josef Hospital Essen-Werden have belonged to the University Hospital Essen as subsidiaries.
research
The research focuses on cardiovascular diseases, transplant medicine and oncology as well as genetic medicine, immunology and infectious diseases as well as translational neurosciences and behavioral sciences.
The University Hospital Essen with its West German Tumor Center (WTZ) has recognized the German Cancer Aid as one of thirteen university tumor centers in Germany as a top oncological center . The German Cancer Aid supports the research of the WTZ with a total of three million euros over a period of three years. The WTZ is also a partner location of the German Consortium for Translational Cancer Research (DKTK) . In the assessment of the university medicine of North Rhine-Westphalia by the Science Council, the "great potential" and research success of cancer research in Essen was highlighted.
Teaching
The Medical Faculty of the University of Duisburg-Essen trains prospective doctors at the Essen University Hospital and affiliated hospitals. In the various on-site facilities - pre-clinical theoretical institutes as well as clinical institutes and clinics - both theoretical and practical knowledge is linked from the beginning of the course. In this way, doctors learn to act independently and responsibly.
The teaching and learning center, which opened in 2014, has its own skills lab and a simulation patient program - here medical students can practice realistically. They also have the opportunity to complete their practical year at the Essen University Hospital and at a total of 16 academic teaching hospitals in the medical faculty.
According to the current Times Higher Education ranking, the Medical Faculty of the University of Duisburg-Essen ranks 98th among the world's best educational institutions for medical studies. In Germany, only the universities of Heidelberg, Munich and Berlin rank ahead. In October, the Science Council explicitly praised the innovative teaching of the university hospital.
