history

Today's Innsbruck State Hospital dates back to the first Innsbruck city hospital in the 14th century. In 1669, Emperor Leopold I founded the University of Innsbruck , which in 1674 received a medical faculty (the first in the Alpine region). In 1742, Maria Theresa's reform obliged the medical professors at the University of Innsbruck to take over the medical care of the city hospital. In return, the Innsbruck city hospital developed into the teaching and research hospital of the medical faculty of the University of Innsbruck.

Since the second half of the 19th century, the hospital has been located on an area of 90,000 m² in the west of Innsbruck opposite the main building of the University of Innsbruck, where all the institute, administration and research buildings of the state hospital are still located today. Between 1885 and 1887 the first pavilions of the "New City Hospital" were built (administration building, surgery, gynecological and dermatological clinic).

Since 1922 the area of the State Hospital Innsbruck has been administered by the State of Tyrol, which in 1991 transferred the agendas to the Tiroler Landeskrankenanstalten GmbH or later Tyrol Kliniken GmbH , a company under private law that is 100% owned by the State of Tyrol. In 2004, the medical faculty of the University of Innsbruck was elevated to an independent university as the " Medical University of Innsbruck ", and its departments , which have been called " University Clinics " since 1972 , are still predominantly located in the Innsbruck Regional Hospital. In the course of its existence, numerous significant medical advances have been made here. B. 1983 the first heart transplant performed in Austria on Josef Wimmer . The regional hospital Innsbruck was also significantly involved in the establishment of civil air rescue in Austria : In 1983, in cooperation with the ÖAMTC, Austria's first rescue helicopter ( Christophorus 1 ) was put into operation.
