history

The former Romhof, today Corvinushaus

The old hospital in the medieval Romhof

In 1833, the city council of Warburg under Mayor Adam Rinteln advised the establishment of a city hospital. By ministerial decree of the Prussian government of December 10, 1836, the so-called Romhof, a medieval building complex at Sternstrasse 19, which had previously been used as the royal main customs office, was transferred to the city and the hospital was opened the following year with initially four beds. In 1844 the city, represented by the new mayor Heinrich Fischer , commissioned two Vincentians from Paderborn to look after the patients. In 1850/51 a two-storey extension was added so that 40 people could now be hospitalized. The statutes for the “ Warburg Hospital ”, which were passed in 1857, divided the organization into the areas of A. Heil-Anstalt , B. Nursing-Anstalt , C. Anstalt for needy children and D: School for proximity . The director of the hospital was the city's mayor as chairman of the poor commission . The work was additionally supported by foundations , for example in 1851 by Friedrich Berendes ( Germete ), in 1873 by Philipp Fischer (a nephew of the mayor Heinrich Fischer living in Paris ) and in 1914 by Sally Berg (Paris / Brussels ).

The new building on the Hüffert from 1926

The building soon proved to be too small again, so that a new building was discussed in the city council as early as 1913/14. After the First World War , the new mayor August Dissen , who was appointed to his post in 1919, set up a new hospital building fund. After lengthy deliberations and an architectural competition, construction began in 1923 according to plans by the architect Franz Vogt from Elberfeld . The site between the former Schützenplatz and the castle moat, near the site of the former St. Peter's Church on the Bittkreuz, was chosen as the site. With the simultaneous expansion of Hüffertstrasse , the development of the city's most important expansion area was initiated. On November 19, 1926, the three to four-storey, multi-wing and 92 meter long building complex was inaugurated and named St. Petri Hospital Warburg after the patronage of St. Peter's Church, which was destroyed in 1622 . The castle-like complex with the characteristic mansard roofs included an integrated hospital chapel with a bell tower as a roof turret, a farm yard and a park. In total, the construction of the hospital cost 394,000 marks. It was financed through the sale of wood from the Warburg Forest and through loans. In 1927 the banker Max Warburg ( Hamburg ) donated an ambulance. Paul Hupe became the head doctor, the ENT specialist Anton Nolte and the general practitioners Josef Floren, Anton Lessmann and Arnold Lewy had the opportunity to occupy beds and, in some cases, also operate in the hospital. The patient care continued to be carried out by the Vincentians.

In the 1960s it turned out that the city hospital could no longer meet the requirements of the grown city and it made sense to reorganize the hospital system at the district level. In 1967 between the then district Warburg , Warburg the city and the city Peckelsheim the establishment of a hospital administration union Warburg Peckelsheim. In order to anticipate the failure of the new building project in the course of the planned dissolution of the Warburg district, the planning office Karl-Heinz Dreischhoff from Recklinghausen made a design in great haste in 1970 , which included the relocation of Hüfferstrasse and the abandonment of the historic Schützenplatz in direct connection to the old building ten-storey new building with an entrance to the new Hüffertstrasse. The old main entrance was closed, the classical portico was demolished and a farmyard surrounded by concrete walls was created in front of the former main facade. The initially estimated construction cost of 18.3 million DM eventually grew to over 30 million DM. In 1973 the house with 301 beds was put into operation.

In 1994, the state curator of the Westphalia-Lippe Regional Association requested the city, in spite of the considerable impairment and damage that the old building of the St. Petri Hospital had suffered as a result of the new building, to transfer it to the municipal authorities as the lower monument protection authority to include a guided list of monuments . However, the then mayor Paul Mohr did not comply with this request.

Privatization in 2008 and new construction 2011–2013

In May 2008 the Warburg hospital association sold its shares to Rhön-Klinikum AG , based in Bad Neustadt , which was then the sole shareholder of the GmbH. The buyer promised to completely demolish the extension from 1973 due to the reduced demand and its serious functional and urban development deficiencies and to replace it with a new building that was adapted to urban planning, but to retain and renovate the old building from 1926.

On December 24, 2010, the new agency submitted a building application for a project that included a new hospital building for 160 beds and 20 intensive care beds in the current hospital garden in a first construction phase. In a second construction phase, all old buildings were to be demolished. Instead of the old building from 1926, a new specialist complex was to be built. The LWL Monument Preservation, Landscape and Building Culture in Westphalia , represented by the state curator Markus Harzenetter , who had learned about the demolition plans through a tip from the citizenry, again asked the city to put the old building on the list of monuments against the demolition of the old building to be entered. Under pressure from the Rhön-Klinikum-AG, the mayor Michael Stickeln managed to get the Warburg city council unanimously decided against an entry in the list of monuments and a demolition on January 18, 2011, despite a lack of jurisdiction. Due to the differences between the specialist authority and the enforcement authority, a ministerial decision was made , which the then building minister Harry Voigtsberger decided against the preservation of monuments.

On September 1, 2011, the symbolic groundbreaking ceremony for the new hospital building took place . The topping-out ceremony was celebrated on May 31, 2012 . In November 2012, the hospital management at the time announced that there would be no kitchen in the new building. From December 2012, the patients were fed by an external caterer who works with a freezer system. The new hospital building was occupied on November 30, 2013.

On April 18, 2014, the hospital was taken over by Helios-Kliniken GmbH . Only the Petri Chapel remained of the old building of the St. Petri Hospital. The former extension from 1973 was demolished and taken down from September 9th to November 2014.
