Klinikum Darmstadt

Klinikum Darmstadt is a university hospital in the city center offering medical care through 21 specialized clinics and institutes across multiple disciplines. The facility operates with approximately 950 beds serving both inpatient and outpatient needs.

The hospital was founded in 1612 through public donations and moved to Grafenstrasse in 1808. Major reconstruction followed its destruction in 1944, shaping its current form.

The Women's Clinic building from 1954 carries the distinctive design of architect Otto Bartning and stands protected as a cultural monument. Its architecture shapes how the complex appears in the city and reflects postwar modernism.

The hospital sits in a central location with good transport access and multiple entry points for visitors and patients. Emergency services include a helipad and specialized admission procedures for urgent cases.

The entrance hall displays an intricate mosaic created by artist Helmut Lander that catches visitors passing through. This artwork forms part of the complex's artistic heritage and merits closer attention.
