The Vivantes Klinikum Kaulsdorf (until 2015: Vivantes Klinikum Hellersdorf ) is a hospital for extended standard care in the Berlin district of Marzahn-Hellersdorf . It belongs to the communal clinic association Vivantes and is an academic teaching hospital of the Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin . The clinic (address Myslowitzer Straße 45) houses more than 10 departments and has 428 beds. Around 16,000 inpatients are treated annually (as of 2019).
Between 1997 and 2009 the head office with the psychiatric clinics of the VKH was located at Brebacher Weg 17 (formerly Wilhelm-Griesinger-Krankenhaus ) in Berlin-Biesdorf . This area was gradually handed over to the management of the Unfallkrankenhaus Berlin , and some of it was also sold, while the buildings on the site in Kaulsdorf were expanded or supplemented.
history
The site between Münsterberger Weg (north), Myslowitzer Strasse (west) and Alt-Kaulsdorf (south), a former agricultural area, was confiscated in 1940 and developed by the Todt Organization on behalf of the General Building Inspectorate in Berlin . Two brick buildings and five wooden barracks were supposed to provide accommodation for 1000 foreign workers who had to build air raid shelters in Kaulsdorf . It is not known exactly whether the housing options were ever completed. However, several bunkers were built, most of which were located on what would later become the hospital grounds. In 1943, the barracks and houses were converted into an auxiliary hospital on the basis of the Public Health Protection Act ; with the areas of internal medicine, infectious, skin and sexually transmitted diseases as well as surgery. This hospital remained until the end of World War II . In September 1945, as the Kaulsdorf Municipal Hospital, the responsibility of the Lichtenberg district passed. It was now a public hospital for 300 patients with other medical areas, including a gynecological clinic with an obstetric department.
The facility was gradually redesigned and expanded. In 1959 it had 560 beds ready for inpatient treatment of the sick. During the GDR era, a rescue center and a new seven-story ward block (1990) as a prefabricated building (house 10) were built in 1982 . In 1989 there were a total of nine houses for medical purposes, a farm yard, a boiler house (house 15) and a kitchen. The hospital grounds at that time had an area of around 30,000 m². A nurses' home, which was also built during the GDR era, was converted into a polyclinic in 1987 and, after the fall of the Wall in 1992, was converted into a medical center. The rescue center, refurbished and technically renewed, continues to fulfill its primary care tasks.
The bunkers were not removed, but either kept locked during the GDR era or used as storage facilities.
After reunification, the state of Berlin became the sponsor of the hospital . The Berlin Senate decided to renew the location in Kaulsdorf, for which there was an architecture competition organized by this administration in 1995. With the implementation of the winning design by Berlin architect Wolfgang Scharlach, a balanced hospital complex was to be created for the first time, which also harmonized structurally. The most important point was the creation of a new entrance area during the expansion to the south towards the Alt-Kaulsdorf street. However, after lengthy discussions, the plan was not implemented for various reasons.
On the other hand, the Senate Administration decided with an administrative order in August 1996 that the Kaulsdorf Clinic and the Biesdorf Wilhelm Griesinger Hospital should be merged on January 1, 1997 and continued as the Hellersdorf Hospital. The addition "Hellersdorf" made the location and importance in the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district clear, the clinic had a catchment area of almost 300,000 people. The 33 individual buildings in the Wuhlgarten area were adapted to the requirements of a modern clinic, taking into account the preservation of historical monuments. The new hospital now had a capacity of more than 1,000 beds. After the Vivantes Group took over the hospital complex in January 2001, it was renamed Vivantes Klinik Hellersdorf (VKH). Soon afterwards, the Kaulsdorf site was completely abandoned as a full-service hospital, but this was prevented by numerous protests by patients, residents and medical staff.

Now it was about adaptation measures on the site of the Kaulsdorf hospital to concentrate the location: three buildings in the access area Myslowitzer Straße had to be demolished (former houses 2, 3 and 4), and a small park was created in their place. The former house 7 / 7a was completely renovated after five years of vacancy and now serves as an administration building, in house 7 there is also a permanent exhibition on the history of the hospital in Kaulsdorf.
As a result of a new architecture competition, extensive construction has been underway on the expanded area since 2009 - starting with three pavilions for the psychiatry department. This and the follow-up project are estimated at a total of 50 million euros , provided by Vivantes and partly by the State of Berlin.
The two- to three-storey pavilions were designed by the Berlin architects Hascher and Jehle and the architects Monnerjahn, Kast, Walter from Düsseldorf.
In 2013, the foundation stone was laid for what is, for the time being, the last large three-part, four-storey new building that offers stations for the areas of psychiatry / psychotherapy / psychosomatics and geriatrics . The ensemble was created according to plans by the planning and engineering company MHB, which specializes in healthcare buildings, nursing homes, school and science buildings. The new building has 164 beds for inpatient treatment and 36 places in the day clinic. The official opening took place on February 19, 2016. With the final expansion of the building complex in Kaulsdorf, the clinic will occupy an area of around 53,000 m².
