history
In 1854 the Evangelical Lutheran congregation expanded the poor house and orphanage, the shelter for the poor , to include a hospital. In times of industrialization in the up-and-coming Ruhr area, it soon became too small. At the same time, the need for social helpfulness increased. In 1886, the Forstmann and Huffmann families donated a hospital and property, whereupon the community provided the costs for the interior work and operation. This 50-bed hospital was inaugurated on September 30, 1888. Generous donations made it possible to expand the building and adapt it to medical advances in the years that followed. Deaconesses of the Kaiserswerther motherhouse had taken over the care.
With the beginning of the First World War , this development stagnated. Due to the inflation leading to the global economic crisis, the Second World War and finally a confiscation, the development was severely hampered overall. After the war, in April 1951, the Evangelical Church Community in Werden received the hospital, which had meanwhile been very badly affected, back.
It was decided to build a new hospital, the financing of which should be secured with the help of the establishment of a non-profit gGmbH. No longer the community, but the hospital should manage itself. 50 percent of the participation in the hospital was held by the church community Werden, the other half went in part to the city church association and the church communities Bredeney and Heidhausen . The complex was later expanded to include a nurses' home and kindergarten.
In the mid-1980s, cooperation with the neighboring Catholic St. Josef Hospital began, to which it is now also connected by a tunnel. The state government, both churches and other funding agencies signed a cooperation agreement in September 1998. Since then, both clinics have continued to operate under the name Kliniken Essen Süd - Christliche Krankenhausgemeinschaft Werden . In 2018, the Essen-Süd clinic was dissolved. Since then, the Evangelical Hospital has been cooperating with the Essen-Mitte clinics.
Clinics, departments
The Evangelical Hospital Essen-Werden now has a cardiology department , a hematology / oncology / stem cell transplantation department , an eye clinic, a clinic for anesthesia , a clinic for child and adolescent psychiatry and a rheumatology department . There is a pharmacy in the house.
