History

History of the hospital

1456 Ernst- Moritz- Arndt- University of Greifswald was founded, whose founding faculty included the Faculty of Medicine. However, the faculty possessed in the first well 300 years of existence, no clinical facilities in the modern sense. A practical training outside the theoretical lectures for the first time is in the hospital - order for the 1781 opened Royal Swedish national hospital. The hospital had a capacity of 20 beds and was located in the Kuhstraße. It provided the population of the south-western parts of Pomerania. 1794 opened the first " ambulatory clinic," the faculty in Mietsräumen the city. There were patients from poor families free treatment. At the same time served the clinic of medical education.

Friedrich August Gottlob Berndt, physician and university teacher at the University of Greifswald in 1825 urban poor physician. He took over the medical management of the land and built a hospital maternity ward at Domstraße. It found today's Women's Hospital. At his request, in 1831 a building for 40 to 50 patients built on the site of the country's hospital, which was referred to as " Clinical hospital " or " medical and surgical hospital ."

In the mid-19th century, the natural sciences were more and more into the foreground. This development was the prerequisite for the differentiation of medical specialties. Also in Greifswald emerged in the latter half of the 19th century, new and specialized facilities. A major site of clinical Medical School was located on the long wagon road in the northern city (today Friedrich -Loeffler -Straße). Other clinics were located within and outside the boundaries of the Old City.

Also notable was that a public hospital and not a private company occurred as a buyer.
