history
The Evangelical Monastery of St. Martin was founded in autumn 1844 by Johann Friedrich Kehr , the representative of the Evangelical Church in the Rhineland , as the "Orphan and Hospital of the Evangelical Monastery of St. Martin". One reason for the establishment was that the Protestant citizens in the city's citizens' hospital were aggressively moved by the Borromean women who worked there to convert to Catholicism . Kehr was supported by King Friedrich Wilhelm IV. , Who gave him 3,000 thalers and a house in Koblenz. At the end of the 19th century, due to the rapid growth of the foundation hospital, a new building was necessary. As part of the southern city expansion, a new hospital was inaugurated in the new southern suburb in 1898. The historic plastered building by the Herborn architect Ludwig Hofmann showed economical forms of the late Gothic . The new building was expanded in 1902 and 1906.
The old hospital building was demolished in 1966 and replaced by a modern new building, which was inaugurated on April 9, 1970. In 1989, a memorial was erected near the entrance to the main building to the long-time chief physician and historian Fritz Michel . In 2003, the St. Martin Evangelical Monastery merged with the Holy Spirit Health Center in Boppard and the Paulinenstift Diakonie Center in Nastätten to form the “Mittelrhein Foundation Clinic”.
Due to a bomb disposal on December 4, 2011 , the hospital, like all houses in the danger zone, had to be completely cleared. The Mittelrhein Foundation Clinic put its costs at around one million euros, 200,000 euros for the evacuation and 800,000 euros in lost sales.
The clinic network was expanded in 2014 to include the Kemperhof in Koblenz and the St. Elisabeth Hospital in Mayen . The new and larger clinic network is called the Mittelrhein Community Clinic .
In 2014, the hospital received an award from the German Organ Transplant Foundation for its commitment to organ transplant medicine . In the previous year, 18 organ removals were carried out here alone , which is a top figure nationwide.
In 2017, the plans of the management and the shareholders to give up the Protestant monastery site in the medium term and to merge all departments at the Kemperhof site for economic reasons. The prerequisite for this is appropriate financial support from the State of Rhineland-Palatinate for the necessary construction work and a re-use concept for the previous location.
