Architecture and history
Already in the Middle Ages , probably shortly after the construction of the neighboring stone bridge , there was an infirmary. The first written mention of the hospital comes from the year 1233, which at that time was still in front of the city gates. In 1676 the Heiliggeist Hospital was destroyed in a city fire and rebuilt over a longer period from 1678. It took up the north side of Heiliggeiststrasse.
The elongated half-timbered building along the street Am Hospital , which is still preserved today, was built by a foundation of the City Councilor Jacob Friedrich Wienek and the treasurer Johann Christian Wolf in 1713 . The building consists of six small houses under one roof. The low building has a symmetrically designed facade. Ornaments are pyramid beam heads and ornamental brickwork, elements typical of the baroque . The inscription cartouche in the central street-side gable, surrounded by acanthus leaves, is particularly noteworthy.
Around 1903 large parts of the former hospital were demolished. The property had already been sold in 1902 and the hospital relocated to the southern city . The Chapel of the Holy Spirit also belonged to the hospital. Its carved altar from 1678 and the pulpit came to the Sankt-Georg-Kirche in Arneburg . Commercial buildings were built on the site of the hospital. The building from 1713 was preserved. At the end of the 1990s the building was renovated.
