The University Medical Center Greifswald is a legal corporation under public law that was formed in 2010 from the Medical Faculty of the University of Greifswald and the University Hospital Greifswald. It is part of the University of Greifswald. The medical faculty has existed since the university was founded in 1456. Approximately 1,100 students will be educated there in the 2010s. The university clinic is a hospital in Greifswald and a university clinic of the University of Greifswald. The origins of the clinic can be traced back to the establishment of an outpatient clinic in downtown Greifswald in 1794. Today, with its 870 beds and 4,400 employees, it treats around 146,000 patients annually, around 36,000 of them inpatients. In addition to the faculty and the clinic, Greifswald University Medical Center has other health and educational facilities, including an outpatient nursing service, an ambulance service for Greifswald and the surrounding area, the district hospital in Wolgast and a vocational school for health and nurses and other health professions .
History of the clinic
Development of medical care in the city
The University of Greifswald was founded in 1456, and the Faculty of Medicine was one of its founding faculties . However, in the first 300 years of its existence, the faculty did not have any clinical facilities as it is today. A practical training outside the theoretical lectures for the first time in the hospital-order for the 1781 opened Royal Swedish national hospital occupied. The hospital had a capacity of 20 beds and was located on Kuhstrasse. It supplied the population of the south-western parts of Western Pomerania . In 1794 the faculty's first “outpatient clinic” opened in rented rooms in the city. There, patients from poor families received free treatment. At the same time, the clinic was used for medical training.
Friedrich August Gottlob Berndt , a physician and professor at the University of Greifswald, became a city doctor for the poor in 1825. He took over the medical management of the state hospital and set up a maternity ward in Domstrasse. This is where today's women 's clinic emerged. At his request, a building for 40 to 50 patients was built on the grounds of the state hospital in 1831, which was known as the "clinical hospital" or "medical-surgical clinic".
In the middle of the 19th century, the natural sciences came ever more to the fore. This development formed the prerequisite for the differentiation of the medical specialties. In Greifswald, too, new and specialized facilities emerged in the second half of the 19th century. A main location of the clinical university medicine was on Langefuhrstraße in the northern city center (today: Friedrich-Loeffler-Straße). Other clinics were located inside and outside the boundaries of the old town.
A donation of land from the city to the university in 1925 enabled the university to grow beyond the boundaries of the old town. As early as the 1920s, the university planned to bring together numerous institutions on the new site in the east of the city. A modern dermatology clinic was opened there in 1929 . In 1935 the Clinic for Ear, Nose and Throat Diseases opened . In the 1970s, extensions for radiology and human genetics were also built there .
In 1977 the foundation stone for the construction of today's clinic was laid on the site of the city donation.
Greifswald Clinic since 1990
With the German reunification a new structuring process of the hospital began. The main goal now is to unite all clinics at one location. In 2004, numerous clinics moved to today's Sauerbruchstrasse. Further clinics and polyclinics will follow in the following years.
From 2003 to 2010 the university hospital was an independent institution under public law .
In 2005 the university hospital bought 94.9 percent of the shares in the district hospital in the neighboring town of Wolgast for 6.1 million euros . However, the takeover came about in 2008. The lengthy process attracted nationwide attention, as the Federal Cartel Office had initially forbidden the sale and only came about through ministerial approval after hearing the Monopolies Commission . It was also noteworthy that a public hospital, rather than a private company, was the buyer.
Neurology
In 1834 an insane asylum was established in the rooms of the clinical hospital for people from the lower and less well-to-do classes , primarily from Northern Western Pomerania and Rügen , for whom “curable mental illness ” was predicted. Initially there were ten beds here, but when the new clinic was built between 1856 and 1858, the number rose to 50 to 60 beds. From 1870 to 1890 the clinical hospital became the "Provincial Insane Asylum". In 1906 a clinic for 100 to 120 patients opened in Ellernholzstrasse. The departments for mental and nervous diseases were combined in this building until 1994. In 1994, on the recommendation of the Economic Council, the Clinic and Polyclinic for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy was attached to the Stralsund Clinic ; since then there has been a cooperation agreement between the two hospitals.
Pomeranian Provincial Insane Asylum was opened in Ueckermünde in 1875 and renamed as Provincial Sanatorium and Nursing Asylum in 1891.
Internal medicine and related subjects
In 1856 the medical and surgical clinic was built on Langefuhrstrasse. After opening a separate building for surgery, the entire building was available for internal medicine from 1903.
In 1826, under the leadership of Friedrich Berndt, the first “obstetric clinic and midwifery institute” was opened in Domstrasse. In 1852, obstetrics was separated from internal medicine. As the number of residents and the number of students increased in the following years, a new building in Wollweberstrasse was necessary in 1878 for reasons of space.
In 1875, against the will of the faculty, Paul Krabler created a private children's outpatient clinic in a house on the market. After they moved to Nikolaistraße, the university gave in in 1896 and left the building in Hunnenstraße to Krabler. After renovation work, a children's clinic was built there. In 1913, the location was relocated to Soldmannstrasse, where an infant home was built two years later.
The subject of skin and venereal diseases became independent in Greifswald around 1920. The then seat was in the medical clinic in the Langefuhrstrasse. In 1929 a new building was built on Fleischmannstrasse.
In 1969 the radiological clinic was able to move into a new building in Fleischmannstrasse.
Surgical subjects
Internal medicine and surgery shared one building in the medical and surgical clinic in Langefuhrstrasse, which opened in 1856. For reasons of space, a new surgery building was designed 44 years later and completed in 1903. The surgical facilities are currently divided into the Clinic and Polyclinic for General, Visceral , Thoracic and Vascular Surgery and the Clinic and Polyclinic for Trauma and Reconstructive Surgery .
Originally part of surgery, the ophthalmology department was located in the military hospital on Kuhstrasse from 1831 to 1858. Until the clinic moved to its current location in 2004, it was previously located on Nikolaistrasse and Rubenowstrasse.
The first polyclinic for nose, throat and larynx diseases opened in Greifswald in 1889 in Nikolaistraße, then in Domstraße . From 1905 the clinic was located on Langefuhrstrasse. In addition, an inpatient department was set up in the surgical clinic. Before moving into the new building in Rathenaustraße in 1935, the clinic used rooms rented by the university in Bahnhofstraße from 1919.
In 1951 an orthopedic department was established in the surgical clinic. Two years later the department moved to Goethestrasse in the former Nauck'sche Klinik. It had a capacity of 50 beds, and there was also an operating room. Two outstations followed in 1969 in the Johanna Odebrecht Foundation as a post-operative department with 50 beds.
In 1971 the central anesthesia department was established under the direction of Henning Ritzow. In 1981, the division became an independent clinic for anesthesiology and intensive therapy.
At the end of the 1950s, a urology department was opened in the surgical clinic . In 1973 it became the urological clinic. Its seat was still in the surgery building on Loefflerstrasse until it moved into part of the dermatology clinic building in 1977.
In the 21st century
The University Hospital Greifswald was an institution under public law from May 2003 to December 2010. Organizationally, it was linked to the university and its medical faculty through a so-called integration model. The University Medical Center Greifswald, established at the end of 2010, is organized as a corporation under public law. The state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania is the guarantor.
The actual clinic in Greifswald is divided into 21 clinics and 19 institutes. It is at the same time a maximum care hospital, university and city hospital and therefore, in addition to maximum care, also provides a high proportion of basic and standard care services . However, the departments of child and adolescent psychiatry and cardiac surgery are not represented: while the University Clinic for Psychiatry is located at the Stralsund Clinic, cardiac surgery has been transferred to the private Karlsburg Clinic .
The presence of the Greifswald location is currently still characterized by extensive new construction activity. The aim is to unite all clinics in one building complex in the Nördliche Mühlenvorstadt district by 2014 .
The number of inpatients treated has grown steadily in recent years. In 2009, 34,827 inpatient treatments were carried out. A total of 146,603 patients were treated in 2009. The University Hospital provides 870 beds and is the workplace of 4,400 employees. Another 180 beds are available in the Wolgast district hospital, which is run as a subsidiary.
