Lungenfachklinik Immenhausen

Lungenfachklinik Immenhausen is a specialized pulmonary hospital (Fachklinik) located in Immenhausen in the district of Kassel, Hesse, Germany. It is a planned hospital for standard care (Plankrankenhaus der Regelversorgung) and an academic teaching hospital of the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen. The clinic is part of the Philippstiftung, a non-profit foundation that also operates nursing facilities and the MVZ Pneumologie Kassel under one umbrella. The hospital's clinical focus is the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary diseases. Its main areas include internal medicine, pneumology, intensive care medicine, infectiology and sleep medicine. It operates as a supra-regional center for pneumology with specialized units such as pneumological oncology, a weaning center and a center for pulmonary hypertension. Together with the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen and the Evangelisches Krankenhaus Göttingen-Weende, it founded the LungenTumorZentrum Göttingen (LTZ), a lung tumor center certified according to the standards of the German Cancer Society (Deutsche Krebsgesellschaft). The institution traces its origins to the late 19th century, when tuberculosis was a widespread disease. In 1887, a group of committed citizens identified the need for a treatment and care facility for tuberculosis patients in northern Hesse. The association "Philippstift" was founded in 1905, and after collecting construction capital through donations from citizens, industry and commerce, construction of the clinic in Immenhausen began in 1908. The hospital opened in 1909 with 36 beds. During the First World War it served as a reserve military hospital, and during the Second World War it was again used as a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients. With the introduction of effective antibiotics in the 1950s, tuberculosis became a well-treatable disease, and the house was restructured into a pneumological specialist clinic. In 2017, expansion and modernization of the clinic began, with completion planned for 2019. The clinic is part of the Philippstiftung group, which describes itself as uniting the Lungenfachklinik Immenhausen, its nursing facilities and the MVZ Pneumologie Kassel under one roof, emphasizing specialized medicine at the highest level in small houses with a big soul.

The origins of the Lungenfachklinik Immenhausen lie in the fight against tuberculosis, a widespread disease at the end of the 19th century. In 1887, a group of committed citizens recognized the need for a treatment and care facility for tuberculosis patients in northern Hesse. This impulse led to the founding of the Philippstiftung e. V. The association "Philippstift" was established in 1905, and construction capital was collected through donations from citizens, industry and commerce. Construction of the clinic in Immenhausen began in 1908, and the hospital opened in 1909 with 36 beds. During the First World War, the clinic served as a reserve military hospital (Reservelazarett). In the Second World War, it was again used as a sanatorium (Heilstätte) for tuberculosis patients. With the introduction of effective antibiotics in the 1950s, tuberculosis became a well-treatable disease. As a result, the house was restructured into a pneumological specialist clinic. Over the decades, the clinic developed into a supra-regional center for pneumology. Its main focuses include the diagnosis and therapy of pulmonary diseases, pneumological oncology, a weaning center and a center for pulmonary hypertension. Together with the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen and the Evangelisches Krankenhaus Göttingen-Weende, the Lungenfachklinik Immenhausen founded the LungenTumorZentrum Göttingen (LTZ), which is certified according to the standards of the German Cancer Society (Deutsche Krebsgesellschaft). The clinic is a planned hospital for standard care (Plankrankenhaus der Regelversorgung) and an academic teaching hospital of the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen.
