Quality Report 2017/18 QUALITY REPORT 2017/18 “THE THERAPY MADE SENSE. MY KNEE IS BACK IN SHAPE FOR MY SHOW GIPFELTREFFEN – AND MY FINGERS FOR MUSIC.” WERNER SCHMIDBAUER WERNER SCHMIDBAUER PRESENTER AND SINGER-SONGWRITER YOU WERE LOOKING AROUND FOR A SUITABLE REHA BILI TATION CLINIC BEFORE YOUR CRUCIAL KNEE OPERATION. YOU QUICKLY CHOSE THE MEDICAL PARK CHIEMSEE REHABILITATION CLINIC IN BERNAU- FELDEN. WHY? The facility exudes great calm; this is wonderful and was absolutely the right decision. Everybody, from the head doctor to the cleaning staff, was incredibly nice. To this day, I only have the best memories of my stay. WAS THE DECISION ALSO STRAIGHTFORWARD BECAUSE, ALONGSIDE ORTHOPAEDICS, THE CLINIC SPECIALISES IN SPORTS MEDICINE – A VERY IMPORTANT AREA FOR YOU? Yes. I was a triple jumper and skier during my youth. To this day I present a programme for Bavarian TV in which I climb a mountain with celebrities. It is good to know that the doctors and therapists there are also specialists in this area. And what is equally important is that the Medical Park Chiemsee rehabilitation clinic also employs psychologists. Until my stay there, I had no clue that they could be important. I have a foreign object in my body – a so-called bicon- dylar sledge prosthesis – which has stabilised my knee, but which caused me mental stress. I immediately received psychological support, which helped me enormously. FOLLOWING YOUR FIVE-WEEK STAY, YOU WERE AN OUT- PATIENT OF THE MEDICAL PARK CHIEMSEE REHABILITATION CLINIC FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. To begin with, I travelled to Bernau two to three times a week to restrengthen my muscles and to make the ligaments in my knee more resilient. At the moment, I only manage if there are one or more free days during a tour. But I am very glad that the therapists have shown me practical exercises that I can do both on the tour bus and during concert breaks.

In this edition, we would like to show you once again how we pursue our require- ments concerning quality leadership with no ifs and buts. Our motivated employees work with state-of-the-art facilities to achieve the best possible rehabilitation success with our patients. This is a high demand, whose success we want to make quantifiable as far as possible – by means of objective medical findings, but also through the evaluation of feedback from our guests and patients. Using graphical reports, we will tell you about real patients and their therapies at our facilities – and all the intensive rehabilitation phases. It is sometimes a roller coaster of emotion, but all of the stories are emboldening. And, last but not least, informative insights are revealed into the typical experiences of our patients. Because even if each treatment is personal: you, a relative, a friend or an acquaint- ance could have the same experience or similar during a rehabilitation stay. 4 It is not only clear from these stories that we place particular emphasis on viewing our work from the point of view of our patients, but also when it comes to the assessment of the success of our therapy. This is why we have used new question- naires on health-related quality of life for the first time. You can find these important results transparently reproduced in the chapter on facts and figures. Furthermore, we present you with new nursing and therapy concepts that can result in higher patient motivation and, in turn, greater therapeutic success. No matter whether you are affiliated with us as a cooperating professional colleague, a patient, family member or in another way, we are delighted to have been able to win you over with our first quality report, and we hope for the same with the second edition. We wish you an inspirational read. MEDICAL PARK QUALITY REPORT 2017/18 EDITORIAL 5 DR. MED. ULRICH R. MAUERER JOHANNES KNEISSL CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL (CEO) QUALITY MANAGEMENT MEDICAL PARK QUALITY REPORT 2017/18 LEG AXIS TRAINING The red ball, called a jumper, is filled with air and is therefore rocky. Johannes Rieger, the physiotherapist, stabilises Schmidbauer’s thigh with a Thera-Band to bring the hip, knee and foot into one axis. ORTHOPAEDICS “ ALL OF MY HOPES HAVE BEEN WONDERFULLY FULFILLED HERE.” Werner Schmidbauer, 56, had three fingers oper- ated on. Just three weeks later, he was fitted with a new prosthetic knee and came for so-called follow-up treatment at Medical Park Chiemsee in Bernau-Felden. That was absolutely the right decision, he says. Everybody, from the head doctor to the cleaning staff, was incredibly nice. 7 A MATTER OF PRACTICE Stretching, flexing, bending, exerting – rubber slings, in which the therapist hangs Schmidbauer’s feet or hands, also help with regaining fitness in everyday life. MEDICAL PARK QUALITY REPORT 2017/18 ORTHOPAEDICS THE PUSH OF A BUTTON During regular ultrasound scans, Dr. Christina Valle reviews the healing process following the operation. For example, how resilient Schmidbauer’s knee has become. FINDINGS While the doctor examines Werner Schmidbauer’s knee with the probe, he can see what Dr. Christina Valle is explaining to him on the screen at the same time. MEDICAL PARK QUALITY REPORT 2017/18 ORTHOPAEDICS MEDICAL ROUNDS On a daily basis, the doctor visits the patient in his room. They can then discuss the results of the examination together, like Werner Schmid- bauer and Medical Director Prof. Dr. Marcus Schmitt-Sody here, and determine the therapy for the next few days. 9 “ HERE THE PATIENT ISN’T JUST A NUMBER, BUT A PERSON WHO SHOULD BE CONSID- ERED AS A WHOLE.” PROF. DR. MED. MARCUS SCHMITT-SODY, RESULTS MONITORING HEAD OF ORTHOPAEDICS AT CHIEMSEE Prof. Dr. Marcus Schmitt-Sody runs two Medical Park rehabilitation clinics on Lake Chiemsee, the one in Bernau-Felden and the Kronprinz in Prien. This almost always means 400 ortho- paedic patients. If time allows, he personally checks whether the automatic leg splints are having the desired effect. MEDICAL PARK QUALITY REPORT 2017/18 ORTHOPAEDICS FINE MOTOR SKILLS Because Schmidbauer also had surgery on three of his fingers, he is relearn- ing fine motor movement during ergo- therapy with Christiane Starnecker, whereby he attaches clothes pegs to the therapy tree and takes them off again. 10 “ WITHOUT THE KNEE OPERA- TION AND SUBSEQUENT REHABILITATION, I WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PRESENT MY SHOW GIPFELTREFFEN ANY MORE.” WERNER SCHMIDBAUER FLUID MOVEMENT The machine that Schmidbauer uses to stabilise his torso and raise his thoracic spine with the aid of therapist Michaela Kreitmair is called Gyro- tonic. The aim is that movement should become fluid again. MEDICAL PARK QUALITY REPORT 2017/18 ORTHOPAEDICS VITAL No extras. No actors milling about. But 120 employees in nursing and therapy who slog away, toil, work, It finally caught up with him at some point. Not just a measure, massage, balance out, hold, test, examine, little, but intensely: Werner Schmidbauer, presenter, carry, support, advise, help, listen day in, day out, until musician, mountaineer, native of Munich, a popular patients are back where they want to be and ought to figure even into the far north, has a long history of be following knee, foot, hip, shoulder, spinal or hand suffering.

    Press Release Ensuring a secure gas supply: bayernets GmbH celebrates the commissioning of the MONACO natural gas pipeline Munich, 5 April 2019. – Today, together with the Bavarian Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy Hubert Aiwanger, bayernets GmbH celebrated the commissioning of the MONACO natural gas pipeline in the community of Finsing (in the Erding district). The MONACO pipeline has been in operation since December 2018 and runs from the German-Austrian border in Burghausen to Finsing near Munich. It is one of the largest pipeline construction projects in the gas industry in southern Germany. “We want an overall concept for a secure, affordable and sustainable energy supply. Natural gas plays a significant role in this concept. In order to balance out the volatility, we need regional and climate-friendly gas power stations in addition to developing renewable energy. These power stations must be able to rely on a secure supply of natural gas. Among other things, the MONACO pipeline makes an important contribution to achieving this security of supply to Bavaria”, said Bavaria’s Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy Hubert Aiwanger. “We are very proud as a company that we could successfully commission the MONACO natural gas pipeline at the end of last year as planned. With the MONACO pipeline we increase the security of supply for Bavaria and the whole South German region. MONACO makes a significant contribution to meeting increasing demand for gas shipping capacity in Germany and Europe by connecting national and international transmission systems”, explained Dr. Matthias Jenn, Managing Director of bayernets GmbH.

    The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Adam R. Gustafson June 2011 © 2011 Adam R. Gustafson All Rights Reserved 2 This dissertation titled The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria by ADAM R. GUSTAFSON has been approved for the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and the College of Fine Arts _______________________________________________ Dora Wilson Professor of Music _______________________________________________ Charles A. McWeeny Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 ABSTRACT GUSTAFSON, ADAM R., Ph.D., June 2011, Interdisciplinary Arts The Artistic Patronage of Albrecht V and the Creation of Catholic Identity in Sixteenth- Century Bavaria Director of Dissertation: Dora Wilson Drawing from a number of artistic media, this dissertation is an interdisciplinary approach for understanding how artworks created under the patronage of Albrecht V were used to shape Catholic identity in Bavaria during the establishment of confessional boundaries in late sixteenth-century Europe. This study presents a methodological framework for understanding early modern patronage in which the arts are necessarily viewed as interconnected, and patronage is understood as a complex and often contradictory process that involved all elements of society. First, this study examines the legacy of arts patronage that Albrecht V inherited from his Wittelsbach predecessors and developed during his reign, from 1550-1579. Albrecht V‟s patronage is then divided into three areas: northern princely humanism, traditional religion and sociological propaganda.

    THE NAZI BLOOD PURGE OF 1934 APPRCWBD": \r H M^jor Professor 7 lOLi Minor Professor •n p-Kairman of the DeparCTieflat. of History / cr^LtxJ~<2^ Dean oiTKe Graduate School IV Burkholder, Vaughn, The Nazi Blood Purge of 1934. Master of Arts, History, August, 1972, 147 pp., appendix, bibliography, 160 titles. This thesis deals with the problem of determining the reasons behind the purge conducted by various high officials in the Nazi regime on June 30-July 2, 1934. Adolf Hitler, Hermann Goring, SS leader Heinrich Himmler, and others used the purge to eliminate a sizable and influential segment of the SA leadership, under the pretext that this group was planning a coup against the Hitler regime. Also eliminated during the purge were sundry political opponents and personal rivals. Therefore, to explain Hitler's actions, one must determine whether or not there was a planned putsch against him at that time. Although party and official government documents relating to the purge were ordered destroyed by Hermann GcTring, certain materials in this category were used. Especially helpful were the Nuremberg trial records; Documents on British Foreign Policy, 1919-1939; Documents on German Foreign Policy, 1918-1945; and Foreign Relations of the United States, Diplomatic Papers, 1934. Also, first-hand accounts, contem- porary reports and essays, and analytical reports of a /1J-14 secondary nature were used in researching this topic. Many memoirs, written by people in a position to observe these events, were used as well as the reports of the American, British, and French ambassadors in the German capital.

  • ROOTED in the DARK of the EARTH: BAVARIA's PEASANT-FARMERS and the PROFIT of a MANUFACTURED PARADISE by MICHAEL F. HOWELL (U
    ROOTED IN THE DARK OF THE EARTH: BAVARIA’S PEASANT-FARMERS AND THE PROFIT OF A MANUFACTURED PARADISE by MICHAEL F. HOWELL (Under the Direction of John H. Morrow, Jr.) ABSTRACT Pre-modern, agrarian communities typified Bavaria until the late-19th century. Technological innovations, the railroad being perhaps the most important, offered new possibilities for a people who had for generations identified themselves in part through their local communities and also by their labor and status as independent peasant-farmers. These exciting changes, however, increasingly undermined traditional identities with self and community through agricultural labor. In other words, by changing how or what they farmed to increasingly meet the needs of urban markets, Bavarian peasant-farmers also changed the way that they viewed the land and ultimately, how they viewed themselves ― and one another. Nineteenth- century Bavarian peasant-farmers and their changing relationship with urban markets therefore serve as a case study for the earth-shattering dangers that possibly follow when modern societies (and individuals) lose their sense of community by sacrificing their relationship with the land.
