The clinics can be reached by local public transport operated by LVB and by S-Bahn via the Bayerischer Bahnhof , Ostplatz and Johannisallee stops . Other locations include Semmelweisstrasse and Härtelstrasse.
history
The Medical Faculty of the University of Leipzig was founded in 1415, a few years after the university itself was founded in 1409. As at all European universities, medical knowledge was initially disseminated in a purely theoretical manner. The first step towards modern, scientifically based medicine was taken in 1704 with the establishment of the first anatomical theater (Theatrum anatomicum) by Johann Christian Schamberg . In 1799 the "Institute for Clinical Education" was founded in the Jakobshospital , where patient examinations, surgical demonstrations and dissection exercises took place for the first time. In 1811 Johann Christian August Heinroth was appointed to the world's first chair for "psychological therapy" ( psychiatry ). The current main location of the medical faculty in Liebigstrasse was founded in 1871 by Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich and Carl Thiersch as the “St. Jakob Municipal Hospital”. In 1897, the “Red House”, the landmark of the medical district, was inaugurated. In the period from approx. 1880 to the Second World War, medicine experienced its greatest heyday at the University of Leipzig. With researchers like Paul Flechsig , Carl Ludwig and Wilhelm His, Leipzig was one of the first scientific teaching and work centers in the world at that time . In 1891 Otto Heubner founded the University Children's Clinic. Large parts of the medical district were destroyed during World War II. The first post-war building was opened in 1956 with the Institute for Anatomy; all other institutes were gradually rebuilt. In 1953 the St. Jakob Hospital was transferred to the university. The department for inpatient psychotherapy and psychosomatic medicine , founded in 1953, was one of the first in Germany. Almost all clinics and institutes have been built or completely renovated since 1990. The clinic, which founded the first clinic for cardiovascular surgery in Europe in 1961 , no longer has its own cardiac surgery department, as the private heart center in Leipzig in the Probstheida district has been a university clinic since 1994 , according to a contract between the Free State and Rhön-Klinikum AG . Up to the opening of the Center for Conservative Medicine in November 2008, around 350 million euros had been invested in the Liebigstrasse site. By mid-2009, all departments moved from the old ward block to the new clinic buildings.
The unit built in 1983 was demolished in 2013, and new clinic buildings are to be built on the area that has become free.
Medical treatment
It is a maximum care hospital . It has 1,350 fully inpatient and 101 part inpatient beds. In 2018, 374,020 outpatients and 56,591 inpatients were treated. The turnover in 2018 was 457 million euros. The clinic has several certified treatment units : the largest stroke unit in Saxony (12 beds), a colon cancer center and one of the first skin cancer centers in Germany. The José Carreras Transplant Unit at the Department of Hematology and Internal Oncology is one of the best-known funding measures of the German José Carreras Leukemia Foundation .
research
The main research areas of the university clinic are neurosciences, endocrinology, immunology, molecular oncology and psychosocial medicine. There are collaborations with a number of local research institutes such as the Max Planck Institute for Cognitive and Neurosciences , the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology , the Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology , the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research - UFZ and companies in the Bio City Leipzig .
Blood bank
In 1962 the district institute for blood donation and transfusion was founded, which in 1991 merged with the university blood donation service to form today's institute for transfusion medicine. In 2002 the blood bank brand was introduced to differentiate the institute from other blood donation services. With currently 92 employees, it has two branches in Grünau and Paunsdorf in addition to the institute's location in the clinic district (center) and an acceptance point in the north (Gohlis Park) . There are also around 160 external appointments in the region every year. As the largest university facility for transfusion medicine in Germany, the blood bank collects 55,000 whole blood donations , 12,000 plasma donations and 5,400 platelet donations every year .

Organ donation scandal
At the beginning of January 2013 it became known that there had been irregularities in the allocation of donor organs in 2010 and 2011 at the Leipzig clinic. The investigative commission of the German Medical Association and the internal auditing department of the clinic found that the health status of at least 37 of 54 patients had been deliberately shown worse in the context of liver transplants, so that they could be assigned a replacement organ more quickly. In the course of the investigation, the chief physician of transplant surgery and two senior physicians were initially on leave. In July 2015, after the investigation was completed, the Leipzig public prosecutor brought charges against the two senior physicians, as they allegedly manipulated patient files in 2010 and 2011. The investigation against the clinic's chief physician was discontinued unconditionally and no involvement was proven.
