history

Deaconess Hospital Mannheim

The former deaconess hospital was founded in 1867 by the "Evangelical Association for Nursing by Deaconesses " in square F 7. There was initially a children's hospital with 14 beds and 6 deaconesses who took care of "city nursing ". In 1884 the deaconess mother house opened next door and also took in adults. In January 1905 Heinrich and Julia Lanz offered the deaconess house a donation of 600,000 gold marks for the construction of an urgently needed hospital. Since this was tied to the condition that the sick be refrained from any religious influence, the offer was refused. 1912 Purchase of a neighboring building on Luisenring, which also housed a new X-ray institute. Between 1926 and 1939 several extensions and modifications followed. The hospital was also bombed during World War II. In the Ladenburg secondary school and a quickly built barrack, the substitute mother's house and hospital for 130 sick people were poorly continued.

In 1947 the school was returned to the city of Ladenburg and by 1949 three barracks buildings in Mannheim's Ulmenweg, which had been severely damaged by the war, were rebuilt. In 1957 the architect Max Schmechel was commissioned to plan a new house on Speyerer Straße. In 1961 the new hospital went into operation there. At that time, the new deaconess hospital had 300 beds in the departments of internal medicine, urology, surgery, gynecology and obstetrics as well as ear, nose and throat. The Deaconess Mother House is in the same building complex, but access is from Belchenstrasse. In the course of the merger with the Heinrich Lanz Hospital and the concentration on one location, extensive renovation and expansion work began in 2004 at the Speyerer Straße location, which was completed in 2008. In 2019, the Catholic Order of the Brothers of Mercy took over the hospital through its BBT group from the sponsorship of the Protestant Diakonissenanstalt Speyer-Mannheim-Bad Dürkheim .

Heinrich Lanz Hospital

On February 1, 1905, the industrialist Heinrich Lanz died in Mannheim, who made four million gold marks available as a bequest for the poor and sick in the city. His widow Julia Lanz built funds from the foundations of the late “Secret Commerce Council ” in the Heinrich Lanz Hospital , which opened in 1907 and was built in Lanz'schen Park in Mannheim's Lindenhof district . The building was built according to modern criteria and with the latest technical equipment at the time. The architect of the 100-bed house was August Ludwig, Mannheim. Initially, the hospital was a family foundation , which was converted into a state foundation under public law in 1916 .

During World War II, the building was so badly damaged by repeated bombs that it had to be closed in early 1945. Reconstruction began in September 1945, so that it could already be put back into operation on a limited scale in April 1946. The reconstruction was completed in early 1956.

In 1964, planning began for a new building , which began in Niederfeld in 1966 and was ready for occupancy in 1970. After the merger with the Deaconess Hospital, efforts were made to concentrate patient care on one location, so that the Heinrich Lanz Hospital has not been used since 2007. The building was demolished in the winter of 2009/2010. A new residential area has now been built there.
