history
The Evangelical Lutheran Hospital in Moscow was founded in 1879 and was located in the Sokolniki district. Many Germans who were parishioners of the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul lived on Vorontsovo Pole Street . With their donations, a building plot was purchased and a hospital was built according to plans by Otto von Dessien in 1903/04. Regardless of religion, all patients were treated here. The doctors and the staff were mostly German. Treatment was free for the poor. The hospital had 101 beds and was well equipped with X-ray machines.
After the revolution, the building was used by a new medical institute founded by Vladimir Obuch , the organizer of the USSR public health services. Vladimir Obuch himself worked at the institute. During the Second World War, the building was damaged in German air raids, the traces of the bombing are still visible today.
The Institute for Brain Research RAMN (Russian Институт мозга Российской академии медицинских наук ) and a neurological outpatient clinic have been located here since the 1950s .
There was a Russian Orthodox chapel near the hospital. It still exists, but is used by the institute as a utility room. It belonged to the Pokrovskaya Church, which was demolished in 1932.
The entrance to the hospital is located between buildings 12 and 16 on Vorontsovo Pole Street .
