history

The history of the Bethanien Hospital in Chemnitz began in 1904 with a nurses' station. This was built at Henriettenstrasse 26 on the Kaßberg by two deaconesses from the Bethanien Hamburg nursing home . The name "Bethanien" is derived from the biblical place Bethanien , and means: "House in which one takes care of misery". The symbol of the Bethany work and the original sign of the Bethany deaconesses consists of a cross, an anchor and a heart. It points to the trinity of faith, love, and hope in the New Testament (1 Corinthians 13, verse 13).

In 1930 a hospital was opened. The individual clinics were then gradually set up. 1931 was at the Zeisigwaldstraße by the deaconesses of the Bethany Association, next to the military hospital, the admitting hospital patient hospital Bethanien be opened with 40 beds. There, doctors such as gynecologists , obstetricians , urologists and ENT specialists were able to operate on their patients and have them cared for as inpatients.

The history of other parts of the Zeisigwaldkliniken building complex began earlier. From 1901 to 1906, the Royal Saxon Garrison Hospital was built in the pavilion style parallel to the adjacent barracks of the 15th Royal Saxon Infantry Regiment No. 181 . In addition to two houses with a total of 149 beds and three hospital pavilions and an operating room, a bath building, disinfection house , morgue , administration building, staff rooms, a medical school as well as a steam boiler building and a well house were built. Due to the numerous injuries in the First World War , the hospital had to be supplemented by additional buildings with 346 beds from 1915 to 1918. A complete hospital train with 10 couchette cars was also equipped. By the end of the war, 16,341 injured people were transported on 50 trips. After the war and the liquidation of the barracks, the military hospital remained as a hospital.

With the reintroduction of conscription in 1935 and the general armament , the hospitals were also greatly expanded. In 1935 the hospital was expanded to include a surgery , internal medicine , laboratory and X-ray department . From 1940 to 1942, additional hospital barracks were added to accommodate the innumerable casualties of the Second World War . On March 5, 1945, parts of the hospital were destroyed in the Allied air raid on Chemnitz.

After the occupation of the adjacent barracks by the Soviet troops , the military hospital was handed over to the city of Chemnitz as early as 1945 as a hospital to ensure medical care for the citizens of Chemnitz . (For their part, the Soviet troops used the former barracks in Chemnitz-Ebersdorf as a military hospital.) Until 1948 it was called Stadtkrankenhaus in Planitzstraße , when Planitzstraße was renamed Leninstraße, the hospital was renamed Stadtkrankenhaus Leninstraße . At the time, the hospital had 250 beds. From 1948 the hospital was gradually expanded and expanded to include clinics for internal, surgical and orthopedic medicine. The urology department became an independent clinic in 1958 and the department for vascular and thoracic surgery in 1977. In 1976 the rheumatism clinic was relocated to the adjacent Bethanien hospital on Zeisigwaldstrasse.

After the fall of the Wall, after almost two years of negotiations with the city administration and the city clinics, on October 16, 1992 the Zeisigwaldstrasse Clinic (the former Bethanien Hospital) and the Leninstrasse City Hospital were taken over by Bethanien Krankenhaus Chemnitz gGmbH , which was founded in 1991 . Since then, the clinics have been called "Zeisigwaldkliniken Bethanien Chemnitz".

The Evangelical Vocational School for Nursing and Elderly Care , which is attached to the clinic, was located at the Bethanien Hospital in Leipzig until 1994 . Since 1962, it has enabled vocational training in nursing in the Christian sponsorship of the Evangelical Methodist Diakoniewerk in Leipzig during the GDR .
