The University Clinic Carl Gustav Carus Dresden at the Technical University of Dresden is a legal institution under public law of the Free State of Saxony and the largest hospital in the state capital Dresden as well as one of the leading clinics in Germany. Until October 1, 1993, the clinic together with the medical faculty of the TU Dresden formed the Medical Academy Dresden . The short form MedAk is still widely used.

In addition to the Leipzig University Hospital and the Chemnitz Clinic , the Clinic is one of the three hospitals with maximum care in Saxony.

history

Carl Gustav Carus, King Anton's personal physician , taught at the Surgical and Medicinal Academy from 1815 to 1869

The surgical clinic opened in 1956

The beginnings of the medical training centers in Dresden go back to the Collegium medico-chirurgicum , which was founded as a military training center in 1748. The Royal Surgical and Medicinal Academy , regarded as the forerunner of the Medical Academy, was founded in 1815 and appointed the later eponymous physician Carl Gustav Carus as professor. The establishment took place 13 years before the establishment of the Königlich-Technische Bildungsanstalt , the historical core of the Technical University of Dresden and three years after the establishment of the forest sciences department, the oldest part of the TU Dresden.

Originally and until 1864 the academy was housed in the Kurländer Palais opposite today's Albertinum in the immediate city center on the edge of the quarter around Neumarkt . At the time, the technical educational institute was located in a pavilion on Brühl's terrace , just a few minutes' walk away.

In December 1901, the clinic was able to move into the extensive facilities of the Johannstadt City Hospital . The complex was further expanded in the following years, for example with the gynecological clinic in 1903. Large parts of the clinic campus, in which the buildings are arranged in a U-shape around a central park, are now under monument protection.

On June 1, 1934, Hermann Jensen was appointed chief physician of the surgical clinic and director of the facility now known as the Rudolf Hess Hospital . Jensen was commissioned to develop it into a central biological hospital and a model facility for New German Medicine . At the nursing school founded by his predecessor Otto Rostoski and Erna von Abendroth at the hospital, the Reich Mother House of the NS Sisterhood was established under Jensen's direction on July 1, 1934 .

The departments essential for the desired “synthesis of orthodox medicine and naturopathy” for the New German Medicine were the internal department, as head of which Reichsärzteführer Gerhard Wagner appointed the internist Louis Ruyter Radcliffe Grote in autumn 1934 , and three “biological departments”. The Swiss raw food therapist Maximilian Oskar Bircher-Benner was to be the head of the first “biological department” . The negotiations with Bircher-Benner "fell apart" (Brauchle) and at Bircher-Benner's suggestion, his student Werner Zabel took over this department. The second department was headed by naturopath Alfred Brauchle , the third by hydrotherapist Georg Hauffe . After Zabel “left” in June 1935, Brauchle also took over the management of the first department, and after Hauffe's death in June 1936, all three departments were combined to form the “Clinic for Naturopathy” under Brauchle's leadership. A community ward with 35 beds was set up, which was managed by a naturopath and accompanied by a conventional doctor with all diagnostic options. In 1943, however, Gauleiter Martin Mutschmann forced Brauchle to leave Dresden. This ended the “Dresden Experiment”. The nutrition researcher Ragnar Berg also worked from autumn 1934 to spring 1937 in a nutritional physiology laboratory in the Rudolf Hess Hospital .

In the era of National Socialism continued to impact Hermann Boehm and Richard Kirsch in the hospital. During the air raids on Dresden , some buildings in the clinic, which was renamed the Gerhard Wagner Hospital after Rudolf Hess' flight to Scotland, were destroyed or damaged. Teaching was resumed in 1954 at the "Carl Gustav Carus" Medical Academy .

At the beginning of the 1990s, the Medical Academy was dissolved as part of the reform of the Saxon university landscape. It was divided into the Carl Gustav Carus University Hospital and the medical faculty, which has been part of the Technical University of Dresden since the winter semester of 1993. On July 1, 1999, the university hospital was also legally separated from the university. The university continues to use it for research and teaching. Only the Klinikum rechts der Isar in Munich and the Aachen University Hospital are affiliated to technical universities in Germany, along with the Dresden University Hospital . The Carl Gustav Carus University Hospital is a founding member of the DRESDEN-concept science association , which was founded in 2010 and is a key measure of the TU Dresden as part of the excellence initiative of the federal and state governments .

The hospital campus has been expanded several times since 1990. Since then, for example, the surgical emergency room and the children's and women's center have been built. In 2011 the new Diagnostic-Internistic-Neurological Center with 411 connected places and the care center expanded with a new building were opened.
