history

The first main building on Neusser Straße was built in the Baroque style as a multi-wing house with a synagogue and school according to designs by Jakob Dubois (Jaques Du Bois, Jacob du Bois), a half-brother of Gabriel de Grupello . The builder was the court factor Joseph Jacob van Geldern , known as Juspa. In 1758 the prayer room was confiscated .

The building, commonly known as the “Judenhaus”, was sold to the Order of Hubert by the heirs of JJ van Geldern in 1772 . The Hubertus Hospital had already been relocated from “ Casernenstrasse ” to this house in Bilk in 1770 . The Hubertus Hospital, for its part, had a tradition of several centuries at this point. It was founded as St. Anna's Hospital in the area of ​​the Kreuzherrenkirche in front of the first city wall before the beginning of the 14th century , and a “St. Annae-Vicarie “financially. In the middle of the 15th century the hospital was relocated to Flinger Straße 1 and from 1709 it was rebuilt under a name change as “ Hospital ad St. Hubertus ” in a new urban area in the area of ​​what would later become Kasernenstraße.

The transferred benefices and inheritances from the hospital were sufficient to care for up to a hundred sick people. After 1796 the hospital lost all benefices that were in the area of ​​the left Lower Rhine, as this was occupied by the French and annexed. After 1806 some income on the right bank of the Rhine was also lost, which was also confiscated by the French. This reduced the financial resources by two thirds. As a result, for financial reasons, the care of needy and sick people had to be severely restricted and only about 36 instead of about 100 people could be treated and cared for.

In 1800, the Marian male modality relocated its nursing activities from the Reuterkaserne to the now vacant rooms . In 1802, at the beginning of the last phase of the Wittelsbach family in the Duchy of Berg, the hospital was renamed "Max-Joseph-Hospital". However, this name change was revised again in 1808 under the French. Furthermore, the financial support for the hospital in 1809 was largely taken over by the newly founded Central-Armen-Verwaltung , since the secularization and changes in the political situation had lost much of the previous income of the Hubertus Foundation. Further relocation of social facilities, such as the old men's house and the old women's house , to the building of the St. Hubertus Hospital followed.

In the Prussian period in 1816, syphilistic women in need of care were also moved to the building. In the meantime, however, the Order of Hubert only supported the area of ​​“looking after old poor women”. The Central-Armen-Verwaltung had taken over all hospital activities, which were again recorded under the name Max-Joseph-Krankenhaus . In addition, the services of the Order of Hubert had to be restricted more and more, since its financial income decreased. In 1817, therefore, the funds were only sufficient to care for a total of 25 people.

After the construction of the Catholic Marien Hospital in Düsseldorf in the second half of the 19th century, the Max Joseph Hospital was no longer needed, as all sick and Catholic patients could be treated in this new hospital. The city councilors therefore decided in 1863 to completely cease the hospital operations and to convert it into a Catholic nursing and old people's home. The sisters from the Order of Christian Sisters took care of the inmates . A monastery with a chapel was built on Hubertusstrasse 3/5 to accommodate the nuns.

In 1927 the capacity of the Hubertusstift was increased and a modern, new transverse wing was built on Hubertusstrasse 3a. In the last world war all buildings were badly damaged in 1942 and 1943. After the destruction, inmates and nurses could only use the basement rooms of the less damaged side buildings for a few weeks until they were moved to other rooms in Oberkassel.

After the end of the war, the buildings were repaired in several construction phases from 1945 to 1956. By the end of 1945, 24 people could be accepted again. By 1949, the less damaged transverse wings had a capacity of 45 occupants plus 5 sisters. From 1971 to 1973 an additional new building was built at Hubertusstrasse 3. From 1987 to 1991, the entire facility was completely renovated and modernized. From 1996 the administration and operation of the "Hubertusstift senior citizens home" was taken over by the Caritas Association .

The main building of the retirement home on Neusser Strasse was added to the list of listed buildings in Düsseldorf-Unterbilk on November 26, 1984.
