The hospital location Hospital zum Heiligen Geist (formerly the Health Center for the Holy Spirit ) in Boppard is operated by the Gemeinschaftsklinikum Mittelrhein gGmbH, and the two Boppard senior facilities Wohnstift zum Heiligen Geist Belgrano (retirement home) and Wohnstift zum Heiligen Geist (assisted living and short-term care) are run by them Subsidiary Seniocura GmbH operated. The Hospital of the Holy Spirit and the Abbey of the Holy Spirit are located in downtown Boppard and are spatially connected to each other. Parts of the building wings used by the residential monastery, as well as the hospital gate , are under monument protection. The Abbey of the Holy Spirit Belgrano, on the other hand, is located in a new building in the former park of Villa Belgrano . Around 200 employees work at the Boppard site and treat around 3,500 inpatients and 5,700 outpatients annually.
location
The Hospital of the Holy Spirit with the Abbey of the Holy Spirit is located in downtown Boppard near the Rhine . The facilities are framed by three streets. Rheinallee runs to the north, Bahnhofsstrasse to the west and Heerstrasse (formerly B 9 ) to the south . To the west of the building complex are the former Carmelite monastery and the former monastery church . The buildings on the Rhine were used as a senior citizens' home until the move to the new building, whereas the building complex facing the city was reserved for the hospital. Today the buildings on the Rhine front are still used for assisted living and short-term care, but are also mainly used for the hospital. To the south-east of the hospital is the Boppard main train station and to the south-west is the former, listed post office.
In addition to the location at the hospital, the retirement home for the Holy Spirit has another building with 102 fully inpatient places in the former park of Villa Belgrano, also near the Rhine. It is called the Abbey of the Holy Spirit Belgrano.
Medical departments of the hospital
The Hospital of the Holy Spirit is one of five hospital locations of the Central Rhine Community Hospital. Attempts are made to set different priorities in patient care at the different locations. Boppard is the only one of the five locations to have a psychosomatic department.
The hospital in Boppard has the following facilities:
- Internal Medicine Clinic
- Clinic for Psychosomatics
- Clinic for Vascular Medicine and Wound Treatment
- Clinic for General and Visceral Surgery
- Trauma Surgery Clinic
- Clinic for anesthesia, intensive care, emergency medicine, pain therapy
- Ear, Nose and Throat Clinic
- Vascular Center Middle Rhine
- Surgical center
The outpatient services with a practice for psychoanalysis and psychotherapy are also supplemented by the group's own medical care center (MVZ) Mittelrhein.
In addition, the hospital has the “Stiftmobil” nursing service through the Seniocura group company, with which sick, elderly and disabled people in need can be cared for in their familiar surroundings.
history
The Hospital of the Holy Spirit is the oldest social institution in the city of Boppard. It has two roots that go back to the Middle Ages . On the one hand, the hospital goes back to a donation from the middle of the 13th century by the Boppard knights and civil families. Even then, this hospital was named Hospital of the Holy Spirit. In this article it is referred to as the former Hospital of the Holy Spirit in order to distinguish it from the newer hospital which has since been called that. The second root of the hospital is the church or brotherhood of the aldermen founded by Boppard aldermen families in 1349 with the small hospital. As a result of the French Revolution , both social institutions were combined in the Hospital of the Holy Spirit Foundation. The first rooms of today's hospital were built in an extension of the former Hospital of the Holy Spirit in 1900. This has been gradually enlarged over the past centuries.
Former hospital of the Holy Spirit
Since no deed of foundation of the Hospital of the Holy Spirit has been handed down, the foundation cannot be dated exactly. It can be assumed that, like in Koblenz and Bingen, the hospital was built in the 12th century at the local collegiate church . According to entries in the liber donationum, probably around 1260, the hospital was detached from the collegiate church and citizenized.
In 1751 the former Hospital of the Holy Spirit on the Rhine, which was probably destroyed by fire, was rebuilt. It served as both a poor hospital and a hospital. It is documented for the year 1489, but the hospital can be much older as this is not a charter. According to legend, Bernhard von Clairvaux is said to have lived in this hospital during his stay in Boppard.
An extension of the hospital was built in 1900 on the other side of Niederstadtstrasse, which was connected to the main building by a building structure. In 1975 the main building of the former hospital was demolished.

The emergence of the small hospital or church is closely related to the plague that raged on the Rhine in the summer of 1349 and the scourge marches it triggered. A few weeks after the events, aristocrats and commoners of the city who had taken part in the flagship procession founded a brotherhood "for the cultivation of the Passion and for charity". In 1476, the statutes were changed so that only members from the aldermen and council families were to be accepted. The building of the small hospital, the "Godes House", was on Obere Heerstrasse near the Britzelpforte . There is evidence that this building was owned by the Brotherhood at the end of the 15th century. After the Small Hospital was merged with the former Hospital for the Holy Spirit in 1800, the building in Obere Heerstraße was auctioned. Today it is privately owned.
19th century
In the course of the French Revolution in 1800 the Hospital of the Holy Spirit was merged with the Small Hospital. During this time, the hospital lost its influence on its extensive goods on the right of the Rhine, as these were now abroad. In 1821 the poor house was closed and from then on the hospital served only as a hospital. The Sisters of Mercy of St. Charles Borromeo were appointed to the hospital in 1855 on the initiative of Pastor Johann Baptist Berger and took over the management of this facility. In addition to caring for the poor, the sick and the elderly, she was also responsible for bringing up care for orphans. The Borromean women were also entrusted with a nursery school for small children (a first kindergarten) in 1856 and a sewing school in 1858. After Dechant Berger had the neighboring orphanage built a few years later (see section Former Orphanage ), they also took over its management in 1865.
Former orphanage
The Catholic pastor Johann Baptist Berger suggested the construction of a Catholic orphanage in 1856 and the foundation stone was laid in 1863. The new building was erected east of what was then the hospital building. Two years later, in 1865, the building was inaugurated with a ceremony. The Borromean Sisters also took over the management of this social institution. In this house they founded the household boarding school, which was later called St. Carolus. After 16 houses were destroyed in a major fire in 1867 on the adjacent area to the east, an outbuilding was subsequently erected on the newly created Karmeliterplatz . The St. Josef boys' house was housed in this extension as a department of the orphanage. In the years 1886 to 1887 the orphanage was extended to the west by a two-axis gable front. A chapel was built into the main building in 1901–1902, for which the upper floor was increased, after which the main building was increased by another floor.
To expand the hospital, the Hospital of the Holy Spirit Foundation acquired the orphanage in 1956. In this context, the St. Carolus household school was moved to the Sabelsberg house, to which some of the nuns also moved. In 1988 the building was largely demolished and rebuilt.
20th century
In 1938 the Hospital zum Heiligen Geist foundation was expropriated in favor of the city of Boppard. The hospital itself survived the Second World War without major damage to the structure and without having to cease operations. On May 30, 1945 and July 4, 1945, the expropriation decisions of 1938 were repealed by the mayor and the district president and the foundation was restored.
In the years 1956–1957, the foundation acquired a number of buildings in the immediate vicinity of the (former) hospital on the Rhine and in Niederstadtstrasse, including the former orphanage. In the years that followed, up to 1962, the hospital was extensively renovated and expanded. The gynecological station was housed in the new building on the Rhine and new operating theaters were set up on the ground floor of the old building. The hospital also received double and triple rooms.
In 1968, planning began for the construction of the second phase. First, in 1969, an old building on Hospitalsgasse was demolished. For the construction of the three-storey new building in 1969, three years of construction and a sum of 5.2 million DM were estimated. However, due to the severe flooding of the Rhine in February 1970, construction work was delayed by a few months. The topping-out ceremony was celebrated on May 13, 1971. The three-storey new building adjoins the first construction phase from 1962 in a north-south direction and was connected to it on all levels. With the approval of the city council, the full length of Hospitalsgasse was pulled in for the new building. In January 1972, the bathing section in the basement was released for use. The official opening ceremony took place on November 17th. Due to rescheduling and price increases, the costs ultimately amounted to around DM 9 million. The state of Rhineland-Palatinate , the Rhein-Hunsrück district and the city of Boppard participated in this. After the purchase of additional land on Bahnhofsstrasse, the hospital received a new driveway for cars, suppliers and ambulances, while the actual access from Heerstrasse via the rest of Hospitalsgasse to the main entrance was retained.
In 1970 the hospital's administrative structure was changed. From there on, the hospital was run from an entrepreneurial point of view by an administrative director. The Borromean Sisters, who had run the hospital up to this point, did not leave it, but continued to work there in care and pastoral care.
In order to be able to maintain an independent old people's home, the Hospital zum Heiligen foundation set up another independent foundation. This foundation was called the Old People's Home Foundation for the Holy Spirit. Its foundation statutes were published on March 12, 1976. In autumn 1975 the demolition of the houses between the Hospitaltor and Bahnhofsstraße began. This also included the old hospital building from 1751, which was named Josefshaus, and the new building next to it from 1869. On December 15, 1975 the foundation stone was laid for the new old people's home. The State Office for the Preservation of Monuments in Rhineland-Palatinate had made the condition that the hospital gate remained as part of the medieval city fortifications and had to be integrated into the new building. The topping-out ceremony took place in the summer of 1976. On March 1st, 1977 the new building, which today bears the name Dechant-Berger-Haus, was completed and used as a retirement home. This building complex is spatially connected to the hospital and is named after the dean Johann Baptist Berger, the founder of the orphanage. On February 27, 1982 the statutes were changed and the foundation was given the more modern name of the Retirement Home for the Holy Spirit.
In 1987 plans for further extensions were presented to the public. In the meantime, the Foundation for the Holy Spirit Retirement Home of the Catholic Foundation for Youth Care had bought the buildings of the former orphanage on the Rhine front. The youth care facilities housed there moved to the newly renovated St. Michael community center . In spring 1988 the demolition of the former orphanage building began. Here, too, conditions were imposed by the State Monuments Office, the gable front facing Karmeliterplatz and the hospital tower had to be preserved. Therefore, the tower as a whole was lifted from the building and temporarily stored in the courtyard. The topping-out ceremony for the new three-story building was celebrated in autumn of the same year. The former gable front on the Rhine side was integrated into the new wing of the building. However, the entire construction work was not finished until 1991. The new eastern part of the building directly on Karmeliterplatz was given the name Josefshaus in memory of the old hospital building that was demolished in 1975, while the middle part with the hospital chapel was named Carolus-Haus.

In January 1999 the focus on psychosomatic medicine was established. In order to secure the Boppard hospital location in the long term and to save significant costs, it was decided in 2000 to join forces with another hospital in the area. After lengthy discussions it was agreed to start talks with the Barmherzige Brüder Trier eV ( St. Josef Brothers Hospital in Koblenz ), Marienhaus GmbH (Loreley Clinics in St. Goar-Oberwesel ) and with the Evangelical Monastery of St. Martin . After the talks and intensive consultations with the board of trustees of the Stifte Hospital zum Hl. Geist and Seniorenheim zum Hl. Geist, a large majority decided to work with the Evang. Pen. He had already entered into a cooperation with the Nastätten hospital years earlier. The two foundations for the Holy Spirit then founded a new company called the Health Center for the Holy Spirit gGmbH. The two foundations transferred the entire operation of the hospital and retirement home to this company. The two foundations were preserved and still owned the land and real estate. On January 1, 2003, the three hospital locations Koblenz, Boppard and Nastätten founded the Gesellschaft für Sozialmanagement gGmbH . The shareholders are the Evang Foundation. St. Martin Abbey with 4 of 7 shares, the Hospital Foundation and the Seniors' Home for the Holy Spirit as well as the Paulinenstift Diakonie Community in Wiesbaden with 1 of 7 shares each. In the course of 2003, amendments to the contract became necessary. The Gesellschaft für Sozialmanagement gGmbH and the Koblenz and Nastätter operating companies were merged and the new company name is Stiftungsklinikum Mittelrhein gGmbH . The Boppard operating company “Gesundheitszentrum zum Hl. Geist gGmbH” could not be merged and became a 100% subsidiary of the foundation clinic.
In the first half of 2012, the obstetrics department was closed due to the low birth rate.
From February 2011 to September 2012 the hospital was rebuilt and expanded. A four-story extension was built south of the hospital in the direction of Heerstrasse. The barrier-free main entrance is located on the first floor of this extension. The prone approach and the emergency room with additional functional rooms were accommodated on the ground floor. The intensive care department was housed on the second floor of the new building. In addition, an extension was built on Karmeliterplatz between the hospital and the retirement home. Three operating theaters were set up in this. In front of the hospital and the city administration in the adjoining building, the city of Boppard had an underground car park built, which was connected directly to the hospital. Due to the spatial proximity, the underground car park and the southern extension of the hospital were realized in a joint construction project. The southern extension of the hospital cost around 15.4 million euros.
The Dechant-Berger-Haus, from which the seniors moved to the Belgrano residential building in 2011 and which was no longer needed as an alternative room after the renovation work on the hospital was completed, was modernized from December 2012 to April 2014. There were 30 individually purchasable residential units for assisted living. The building wing was inaugurated to the public on April 24, 2014.
After another merger with the Kemperhof hospitals in Koblenz and St. Elisabeth in Mayen in 2014, today's Mittelrhein Hospital was created .
Description of individual parts of the building
Both the former orphanage (now the Carolus House) and the adjoining hospital gate are under monument protection. The former Hospital of the Holy Spirit was demolished in 1975.
Former hospital of the Holy Spirit
The former Hospital of the Holy Spirit was a two-story, eaves-standing building made of plastered rubble stone . It was on the corner of the Bahnhofsstrasse / Rheinallee confluence with the hospital gate to the east. The six window axes on the Rhine side were combined in pairs by lenses. There was a flat gable above the two central axes . The floors were structured by a simple cornice. On the gable was a cartouche with a chronogram inscription that indicated the year 1751. This was transferred to the hospital gate in 1975.
The former orphanage and the new building
The original building from 1863 to 1865 was an unplastered, two-story, eaves-standing quarry stone building. On the Rhine front it had six axes and stepped forward about a meter from the medieval city wall. The two central, coupled axes had a flat projecting gable projection. The windows had arches . In the pediment of the risalit there was a raised arched niche with a figure of a saint. This was flanked by two arched windows. The risalit gable was decorated with tin turrets on both sides and on the top. The rest of the roof consisted of a slated hipped roof with gable dormers .
The original subdivision of six axes has been preserved in the current building, the Carolus House. The Josefshaus, recognizable as a subsequent extension (1988–1991), has two axes. The Carolus House has three floors above an exposed basalt lavage ledge. The middle pair of axles protrudes slightly, it has a flat gable dwelling . The three floors are separated from each other by profiled sandstone cornices. The windows of the first floor of the two left and two right axes have segmental arches , the first floor windows in the risalit have round arched ends. In the side axes in the chapel floor there are arched windows with set corner columns made of yellowish sandstone on Attic bases . In the risalit there is a large group of three windows in a round arch niche, which combines both axes. On the second floor there are arched windows that are coupled again in pairs in the risalit. To the south, the building has a simpler facade, also with a dwelling, in which there is a niche with a figure of a saint.
The eastern extension has two floors of the same height instead of the high chapel floor. The windows on the ground floor also have segmental arches, the remaining windows have round arches. A lower auxiliary building with three floors is attached to this extension.
Hospital chapel
The chapel is located in the Carolus House on the second first floor. The same neo-Gothic styles can be found there as in the exterior. It has a cross vault with grooved ribs on capital consoles, in which are retracted belt arches . The gallery and choir bays are shortened.
In 2012 the chapel was renovated.
The hospital chapel is furnished with an altar triptych . The central panel is 153 cm × 80 cm and the wings are 153 cm × 37 cm . The triptych is named after Lehfeldt in 1491. It is closely related to the triptych in the old parish church of Niederspay . Originally it probably came from the Carmelite Church . As a donation from Josephina Schaaf, the tablets came to the Catholic orphanage after 1872. The crucifixion group is depicted on the middle panel and on the lower left edge there is a small kneeling carmelite , which may indicate the donor. St. Mary Magdalene and St. Catherine are depicted on the side wings .
Hospital gate
The Hospitaltor is a gate that belonged to the former medieval city fortifications of Boppard. It was built in the 14th century. Hospitalgasse, which is now built by the hospital, used to be connected to the gate. Therefore the gate cannot be used by the public. It is located on the Rhine between the former Hospital of the Holy Spirit and the former orphanage.

In 2001, the Hospital of the Holy Spirit Foundation acquired Villa Belgrano and the surrounding area for 3.2 million euros. Eight years later, in 2009, the Mittelrhein Foundation Hospital sold the villa again. She kept the former park and began to build a retirement home there for about a hundred senior citizens. In March 2011, the new building was completed on schedule and it was named Wohnstift zum Heiligen Geist Belgrano. In the same month, residents of the residential home of the Holy Spirit at the hospital moved to the new retirement home.
