The St. Petrus house in Bonn's city center has existed since 1887. The departments of anesthesia and intensive care, vascular surgery, cardiology, radiology as well as the center for orthopedics, trauma surgery and sports medicine are located here .

Both houses have physiotherapy departments, a chapel and a cafeteria for patients, visitors and employees.

About 10 years after the completion of the former Petrus Hospital, considerations were made to build a new hospital chapel because the location of the previous chapel was felt to be unsuitable. The Bonn architect Max Cronenberg (1857–1924) designed the plans for a new chapel and the cost estimates in the summer of 1897. The execution of the construction work was entrusted to the architect, builder and contractor Anton Becker (1853–1899), who was born in Lüftelberg. He began work in the spring of 1898 after obtaining the necessary permission from church and state authorities for the construction. The chapel was completed in the following year. The benediction by Dechant Neu took place on August 28, 1899. Becker did not experience the benediction anymore - he died 18 days earlier. Dean Neu consecrated the chapel of St. Family Jesus, Mary and Joseph.

Regarding the interior of the chapel, it was possible to fall back on numerous donations from private individuals, the high altar was taken over from the former chapel, the side altars and the organ (two manuals, ten registers ) were made by the Bonn workshop of the organ builder Johannes Klais, who was also born in Lüftelberg (1852 –1925) made in 1899.

The hospital chapel was demolished in 1969 as part of major redevelopment measures. After a few interim solutions and extensive renovation work on the hospital, a new chapel is to be built in the middle of the hospital complex by around 2020 - in its basic form based on the mosaic spiral, a large-scale work by the artist Wilhelm Buschulte (1923-2013).

St. Johannes Hospital Health Center

St. John's Hospital was built from 1846 to 1849. The money donated by wealthy residents formed the basis for the "Bonn Hospital Association", which had set itself the goal of building a hospital. This association was eventually converted into a foundation on its own initiative , the “Foundation Citizens Hospital for Saint John the Baptist”. A board of trustees made up of respected citizens of the city directed the fortunes of the house for many decades. The Borromean Sisters cared for the patients in a Christian spirit. Since July 2010 there has been an outpatient operation center in the operating theaters of the former St. Johannes Hospital, which has been completely renovated, operated by the community hospital, as well as various specialist practices and an orthopedic specialist shop.
