The Trinity Hospital Wesseling is a hospital of the basic and standard care in Wesseling in North Rhine-Westphalia Rhein-Erft in Germany . The chief physician is Christoph Andreas Jacobi .

history

Maria Katharina Kasper from the Congregation of the Poor Maidservants of Jesus Christ from Dernbach in the Westerwald , also called Dernbacher Sisters , sent three sisters to Wesseling on June 1, 1865. They moved into a small house on Bahnhofstrasse that Fraulein Christina Krings had donated for charitable purposes. There they offered orphans as well as the elderly, those in need of care and the sick a new home. The house was called St. Josephshaus or Klösterchen .

Since expansion was no longer possible, the church council decided on July 17, 1912 to build a new hospital . After a few property inspections, a property of 151.52 acres on Bonner Strasse was left for new construction. The builder Boohs from Cologne made the plans for the construction of the hospital, old people's home and children's home. On October 9, 1913, construction began with the laying of the foundation stone . The new building was erected by the Clemens Kümpel company from Bonn . The Cologne architect Roß was responsible for the construction management .

In the middle of the First World War , the new building was already occupied on February 3, 1915. The official opening was on April 18, 1915. bearer of this new hospital was the parish of St. Germanus, which also provided for the financing of the construction.

50 beds were available in the new house ; Attending doctors treated the patients and performed simple operations. In the following years these doctors were partially replaced by full-time doctors in surgery and internal medicine . There were still attending physicians in the gynecology and ENT medicine departments .

In 1940 a nursing school with nine training places was set up in the hospital. There were already 80 beds in the hospital. As early as 1940 the clinic was approved as an accident hospital and for the "transit procedure".

After the repair of war damage in the Second World War in 1956, the parish of St. Germanus gave the hospital in the ownership of the registered association Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ in Dernbach from. Until then, the sisters were the company owners.

Between 1959 and 1961 the hospital was expanded. In 1996 the entrance area was completely renovated. Many renovations were also carried out inside the house : station renovations and extensive fire protection measures were carried out. In 2010, a new radiology building and a spacious four-storey ward extension were built, as well as the renovation of the existing patient rooms. In July 2014, the comprehensive modernization and expansion of the operations area, the emergency room and the internal function area were completed.

Sponsorship

The first sponsor was the parish of St. Germanus. The facilities of the registered association of the poor servants of Jesus Christ were transferred in 1995 to the Maria Hilf Kranken- und Pflegeegesellschaft mbH based in Dernbach. In 2004, as part of the reorganization of the facilities of the Maria Hilf Group, Dernbach, the hospital was transferred to Maria Hilf NRW gGmbH , Gangelt , which was renamed the Dernbacher Group Katharina Kasper in 2013 . As part of the further development of the Dernbacher Group Katharina Kasper from a regional to an industry-oriented structure, the Dreifaltigkeits-Krankenhaus Wesseling was transferred from Maria Hilf NRW gGmbH to Katharina Kasper ViaSalus GmbH in 2014 .

Monument protection

The stucco ceiling in the entrance area and the hospital chapel were entered on 19 July 1988 under No. 69 in the list of architectural monuments in Wesseling .

Others

There is a small cemetery behind the attached ward block . The convent sisters who worked in the hospital were buried there until 1995. Since the retired sisters are moving into their own nursing home in Dernbach today, they will also be buried there later. Next to the well-kept cemetery is a Marian grotto with an almost life-size statue of Our Lady. Sister Clementine Ferdinand ADJC has been the superior since 2008.
