Location and description
The Herz-Jesu-Krankenhaus Fulda is located north of the Fulda city center, east of a hill on which the Franciscan monastery Frauenberg is located. On this elevation, also called Frauenberg, there is a residential area with a large number of old buildings from around 1900. There is a spacious, park-like area around the monastery. The Frauenberg municipal cemetery is located north of the hospital. In an easterly direction, the hospital grounds extend to the line of the Vogelsbergbahn , which creates a single-track connection between Fulda and Gießen. The Gerloser Weg runs south of the hospital area; in the direction of the city center, the area is bounded by the Buttlarstrasse, which runs west and to which the house belongs from its address.
history
1911–1937: Cripple Home of the Merciful Brothers
The Barmherzigen Brüder from Montabaur planned the construction of a "cripple home", for which the foundation stone was laid on July 23, 1911 - the Sacred Heart Festival . The main purpose of the Sacred Heart Home, which was ceremoniously opened on October 17, 1912, was to care for physically handicapped young men. They were supposed to receive physical and professional training in this facility and were mostly given training and accommodation here. Initially designed to care for 95 patients, the Sacred Heart Home developed rapidly. As early as 1915, the building fabric was expanded for the first time. A workshop building was added to the home, which enabled up to 150 nurses to work in various craft disciplines. During this time there was the opportunity to work as a basket weaver or cobbler. With the beginning of the First World War, there was an additional occupancy of the house by those injured during the war. It was not until 1920 that the last war invalids could be released. As a result, the house developed into a convalescent place for people with lung diseases. In the years that followed, the General Government of the Brothers of Mercy decided to convert the Sacred Heart Home into a general hospital for men. On July 1, 1932, this conversion was finally carried out. After the National Socialists “seized power” , the Barmherzigen Brüder were able to continue their work until 1937, before they were called criminals by the rulers and sentenced to prison or otherwise left Fulda.
1937–1945: Period of National Socialism
The gap that arose in this way was then filled by the Sisters of Mercy of Saint Vincent de Paul, who only ran the house for a short time. After all doctors were forbidden to admit patients to the Herz-Jesu Hospital in 1938 by order of the Gauleiter of Kurhessen, Karl Weinrich , the house was bought by the city of Fulda for 380,000 Reichsmarks from the Caritas Association in Montabaur in December 1938 acquired. After the takeover by the city and the temporary designation as Elisabeth Hospital, the facility was named Günther Groenhoff Hospital in 1939 , named after the glider pioneer Günther Groenhoff who had an accident on the Wasserkuppe in 1932 . This renaming should probably remove any reference to the Christian roots of the house. At that time, the hospital was mainly used for military purposes, it served as a reserve hospital.
1945–2001: Development after the war
After the Americans took Fulda on April 2, 1945 and the political situation changed, the house was renamed again and now again received the name Herz-Jesu-Krankenhaus. In March 1953, the sponsorship of the house was transferred back to the Merciful Brothers, who, however, decided to lease the hospital long-term to the Fulda motherhouse of the Merciful Sisters. In the course of this, the sponsorship of the house was transferred to the district of Fulda. On April 2, 1953, the Sisters of Mercy took over the management again by means of a long-term usufruct agreement. Since there was a shortage of hospital places at that time, the house was expanded from 110 to 300 beds by 1955.
Since 2001: Extensive structural changes
In 2001 the Herz-Jesu-Krankenhaus began a period of extensive new buildings and extensions, the first section of which was ready for occupancy in 2005 and was inaugurated. The second extension was opened in 2009. In the course of this, the meanwhile renovated Marienkapelle of the hospital was blessed again. The Herz-Jesu-Krankenhaus is currently a house of basic and standard care, with around 750 employees and 320 planned beds, which treats around 30,000 patients annually in the outpatient and inpatient sector.
In 2002, the second baby hatch in Hesse was opened at the Sacred Heart Hospital; the first was already put into operation a year earlier at the St. Vinzenz Hospital in Hanau .

Until 2017 there was a day clinic for child and adolescent psychiatry, psychosomatics and psychotherapy for the care of children and adolescents on the Aschenberg . The so-called "Pöschelklinik" is a former private clinic which was rented by the Fulda Clinic. Since then, the department for child and adolescent psychiatry, psychosomatics and psychotherapy at the location of the Herz-Jesu-Krankenhaus Fulda has an institute outpatient department, a day clinic, open general psychiatric wards for children and adolescents and a closed acute admission ward.
In Bad Hersfeld there is also a branch of the child and adolescent psychiatry of the Herz-Jesu-Krankenhaus Fulda in the former St. Elisabeth Bad Hersfeld Hospital , which was previously run as an independent house in the St. Vinzenz Hospital Association, but was subsequently closed and converted.
