Life

Hannah Luise von Rothschild is one of the Frankfurt founders who founded the Carolinum Sanatorium in 1890 in what was then Bürgerstrasse 7 (today Wilhelm-Leuschner-Strasse) in memory of her father Mayer Carl von Rothschild (1820–1886) in 1890 . The Carolinum is named after his first name "Carl".

The building originally housed a dental clinic, a medical laboratory and an infirmary with care beds. Most of the penniless Frankfurt citizens were treated for dental diseases in the Carolinum. The Carolinum of Frankfurt University , which has been part of the University Hospital since 1914 , was renamed the Center for Dentistry, Oral and Maxillofacial Medicine in 1971 and still exists today. The Carolinum Foundation has remained responsible for the institution, but the conversion into a GmbH is planned. It is on the edge of the Niederrad campus of the Frankfurt University Clinic . Ear, nose, throat and eye clinics are currently housed in the building. The Niederrad campus is located at Theodor-Stern-Kai 7 in Frankfurt.

Her father Freiherr Mayer Carl von Rothschild and her mother Louise von Rothschild were both grandsons of the founding couple of the Rothschild dynasty, Mayer Amschel Rothschild and Gutle Rothschild . Like many female members of the third generation Rothschild family, she was particularly indebted to charity. In addition to the founding of the Carolinum, the founding of the Freiherrlich Carl von Rothschild'schen public library , which was based on the family library , goes back to her.

Hannah Luise von Rothschild died unexpectedly at the age of 42. She is buried in the Jewish cemetery on Rat-Beil-Strasse in Frankfurt am Main. The sanatorium she founded survived the period of inflation after the First World War . This was possible due to a renewed donation of 400,000 marks by her sisters who were still living at the time.
