The Prenzlauer Berg Hospital is one of several municipal hospitals in Berlin . It is located in the Berlin district of Prenzlauer Berg and has been officially called Vivantes Klinikum Prenzlauer Berg since it was taken over by the municipal hospital group Vivantes (sole shareholder: State of Berlin) in 1994 . Since April 1, 2010 it has been connected to the Vivantes Clinic in Friedrichshain as the Prenzlauer Berg location . In 2015, 4,384 were treated as inpatients and 7,400 as outpatients. It should be closed in 2019 [obsolete] .
The entire Prenzlauer Berg municipal hospital is protected as a monument . Between 1886 and 1940, the “Palme” urban shelter , the largest homeless shelter in Berlin at the time, was located in today's main building at Fröbelstrasse 15.
History of the building
In 1885, the Berlin city planning officer Hermann Blankenstein received an order from the city council to draw up building plans for a city hospital and infirmary and for a city shelter . The city of Berlin provided a building plot of around 78,000 square meters on the corner of Prenzlauer Allee and Fröbelstrasse, named after the pedagogue Friedrich Fröbel . Two building complexes were erected between 1886 and 1887 using the traditional and inexpensive brick construction with clinker facades .
The yellow brick hospital and infirmary home on Prenzlauer Allee developed into a hospital in the 1920s and was called Hufeland Hospital from 1927 . Under this name, it was moved to the sanatoriums in Berlin-Buch in March 1934 . The Prenzlauer Berg district office was able to move into the buildings on Prenzlauer Allee , which had been spread over various locations since its inception in 1920.
The red-linked shelter, which opened in 1886, was expanded by the magistrate from 1893 to 1895 according to plans by Vincent Dylewski (1852-1913). The building, popularly known as the “Palme”, was located at Fröbelstrasse 15 and was built from red clinker bricks, some four storeys high, with four wings at the rear. The facade facing the street was by corner, central and portal projections divided. There were pyramid roofs over the corner buildings , the central projection was adorned by a lantern on a steeply raised hipped roof . Its area extended between Diesterwegstrasse (in the west) and Winsstrasse (in the east, since 2001 this part of Winsstrasse has been called Ella-Kay-Strasse) over a length of around 130 meters.
During the National Socialist era , Fröbelstrasse was renamed Nordmarkstrasse in 1937 . In 1940 the urban shelter became the “Nordmarkstrasse Hospital”, the predecessor of the Prenzlauer Berg Clinic.
The entire roof zone of the hospital is no longer in its original state, because a simplified restoration was carried out after the war damage in the Second World War . The Nordmarkstraße got its previous name back in 1982, the house numbers remained unchanged. The hospital was in operation until after the political change . The doctors and staff were employees of the magistrate. At the turn of the 21st century, the now responsible Senate proposed the hospital to the newly founded urban hospital group Vivantes .
The main building underwent extensive renovation and the medical facilities were modernized. In the long term, however, the merger of the Vivantes section with the similar facility in the Friedrichshain district is planned (see processing ).
Medical importance
The Vivantes Clinic in Friedrichshain at the Prenzlauer Berg site has almost 105 beds. It has five medical departments: a clinic for anesthesia, intensive medicine and pain therapy, a clinic for surgery - trauma and reconstructive surgery, a clinic for internal medicine - gastroenterology and a clinic for internal medicine - general internal medicine and a geriatric unit (as of July 2019 ).
Since January 2, 2018, the Prenzlauer Berg Clinic is no longer an emergency hospital. The rescue center was closed on March 1, 2018.
completion
In February 2008, the Berlin Senate and Vivantes management decided to stop operating the clinic “for economic reasons” and to move the medical facilities to the nearby hospital in Friedrichshain . Since then, a new large ward block has been built there on a vacant space for around 100 million euros , which will have an additional 400 beds ready when it is completed in 2018. Despite extensive protests from residents, district politicians and even the Vivantes works council, the merger was decided. The Vivantes spokeswoman said: "The care at the Friedrichshain Clinic is guaranteed to be of high medical quality, the quality of the accommodation for the patients and the capacities will not be reduced." In spring 2017, the first departments should be relocated to Friedrichshain, the conclusion the hospital move was planned for 2018. In this context, the bed capacity has been continuously reduced. And since January 2, 2018, the facility in Fröbelstrasse no longer has an emergency status , i. H. it is no longer approached by fire service ambulances. But for a (unspecified) transition period, a team of doctors takes care of general emergencies. Urgent emergencies are brought to the Friedrichshain site (Landsberger Allee).
Opponents of the closure hoped that after the formation of the new Senate in November 2016, the closure could still be prevented. In particular because the population in the district has grown by around 50,000 in the last twelve years. The final settlement has not yet been completed in summer 2019.
