history
Beginning
In gratitude for the self-sacrificing care of a Catholic citizen from Berlin, his widow offered the Alexian Brothers, an order of nursing , an inexpensive piece of land outside Berlin. Through a contact that arose as a result, the religious acquired a farm with 60 hectares of land in Weißensee. As early as 1888, the Alexian brothers applied to be allowed to build and operate a nursing home for mad men there. With a sum of 388,000 marks, the large three-gabled main house was built on the property and opened on June 22nd, 1893 as a "sanatorium for men with mental illnesses and nerves".
Catholic house in the GDR
The construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961 and the associated division of Germany meant a major turning point for the St Joseph Hospital. The GDR government showed little interest in supporting a Catholic specialist clinic, which the house in Berlin-Weißensee had meanwhile developed into. It therefore required the intervention of the Berlin bishop and later Cardinal Alfred Bengsch . He consistently advocated maintaining the facility as a specialist clinic. The Alexian brothers then handed over the management of the house to the bishop and a newly established board of trustees. In this way, the clinic was able to develop further despite the difficult political and material circumstances.
turn
The fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 meant another upheaval for St. Joseph Hospital. In 1990 the Alexian brothers took over the management of the house again. In 1992 they handed this over to Reinhard Nieper, a young managing director, who not only implemented planned structural measures, but also laid the strategic foundations for the future together with those responsible in the company. In the early 1990s, the Institute's Psychiatric Outpatient Clinic (PIA) was established at the Weißensee location. In 1993 the hospital in Berlin-Weißensee celebrated its 100th anniversary. In 1997 the new Bischof-Ketteler-Haus senior nursing home began operations on the grounds of the Alexianer St. Joseph Hospital. The hospital received the supply contract for the Prenzlauer Berg district . In the same year, the Prenzlauer Berg day clinic was opened. When it was founded, a second psychiatric institute outpatient clinic (PIA) was added in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg. The Pankow day clinic opened in 1999 . In 2001 the sports therapy hall was opened, the hospital chapel was renovated and the south wing was completely renovated. In addition, the main entrance was relocated to the center of the main house based on the historical model and clad with a Feng Shui glass wall. An important step in securing the future of the house was the acquisition of the compulsory supply contract for the new large district of Pankow with a total of around 340,000 inhabitants at the time.
present
In 1998 Iris Hauth took over the medical responsibility for the St. Joseph Hospital Berlin-Weißensee and promoted the differentiation of psychiatry in the following years: A department for geriatric psychiatry (clinic for mental health in old age) with an attached day clinic as well as a clinic for addiction medicine and a residential association for the care of people with addiction disorders was opened in the former head doctor's villa. The acute wards and day clinics of the hospital specialized in diagnosis groups in order to be able to offer treatment in line with guidelines. Thomas Müller has headed the Department of Neurology since 2007. This is recognized beyond the region due to its proven expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis. In 2010 the offer was expanded to include a so-called §116b outpatient clinic for the treatment of people with multiple sclerosis.
The clinic has been the MS focus center of the German Multiple Sclerosis Society since 2019 . To strengthen outpatient treatment, a medical care center (MVZ) for general medicine , neurology, psychiatry and psychotherapy was established at the St. Joseph Hospital in 2006 . A quality and risk management with external certification confirmed the quality level of the hospital. In addition, the Alexianer St. Joseph Hospital is an "Academic Teaching Hospital for Nursing".
