history

In 1770, a large half-timbered house was built in Hildesheim that housed two different hospitals that had been founded several centuries earlier. The first floor was given to the Hospital for the Five Wounds and the upper floors to the Sankt Nicolai Hospital. The two hospitals were later merged as United Hospitals. However, the building kept the name Hospital to the Five Wounds. The name is derived from the veneration of the holy wounds that were inflicted on Jesus at the crucifixion. From the 19th century, the building was used by the nearby St. Bernward Hospital .

During the Second World War , the Hospital of the Five Wounds was only slightly damaged by bombs on February 22nd and March 22nd 1945 and the damage was repaired very quickly. The building was renovated in 1981. Today it is used as a training center for nurses.
