Helios Vogtland Clinic Plauen

Helios Vogtland-Klinikum Plauen is a hospital of focus care (Schwerpunktversorgung) located in the Reusa district of Plauen, in the Saxon Vogtland region of Germany. It is operated by Helios Vogtland-Klinikum Plauen GmbH, a company within the Helios Kliniken group, one of Germany's largest private hospital operators. The facility is one of the principal general hospitals serving the Vogtland district; after the closure of the Reichenbach house from April 2023, it stands alongside the clinics in Adorf/Schöneck and the Klinikum Obergöltzsch as one of three regular hospitals in the district. The hospital traces its institutional roots to medieval charitable foundations: the St. Elisabeth Hospital, founded in 1255, and the St. Johannis Hospital, founded in 1322. These two foundations were merged in 1855 under the name "Vereinigtes Aerar der Hospitäler St. Elisabeth und St. Johannis, jetzt Stadtkrankenhausaerar." A new hospital opened on Hammerstraße on 31 October 1860, but it became too small within a few decades, leading to the opening of a new hospital on Reichenbacher Straße on 7 December 1889. Parts of the hospital were severely damaged at the end of the Second World War. In September 2006, the institution came under the sponsorship of Helios Kliniken. Today the house has 620 beds and 33 part-inpatient places, and it offers services across a range of medical specialties. As part of the Helios network, it is positioned as a regional focus-care provider within the German healthcare system, combining inpatient care, specialized departments, and part-inpatient treatment for the population of Plauen and the surrounding Vogtland area.

The institutional history of the Helios Vogtland-Klinikum Plauen reaches back to the Middle Ages. The St. Elisabeth Hospital was founded in 1255, and the St. Johannis Hospital in 1322. In 1855 the two hospital foundations were united under the name "Vereinigtes Aerar der Hospitäler St. Elisabeth und St. Johannis, jetzt Stadtkrankenhausaerar." On 31 October 1860 a new hospital opened on Hammerstraße. Within a few decades this building had become too small, and on 7 December 1889 a new hospital was opened on Reichenbacher Straße. At the end of the Second World War, parts of the hospital were severely damaged. In September 2006 the house came under the sponsorship of Helios Kliniken. After the closure of the Reichenbach house from April 2023, the Plauen hospital is, alongside the clinics in Adorf/Schöneck and the Klinikum Obergöltzsch, one of three regular hospitals in the Saxon Vogtland. The house has 620 beds and 33 part-inpatient places and provides services in multiple specialist fields.
