The Jerusalem Hospital in Hamburg-Eimsbüttel was built in 1913 according to plans by Johannes Grotjan in a neo-Romanesque style on Moorkamp near Schäferkampsallee. Originally, the hospital was part of the diakonia facilities of the neighboring Jerusalem community . The hospital has been privately owned since 2007. The house serves as an attending medical clinic and is designated as a small plan hospital with the specialist focus on breast surgery. The hospital has been operating a breast center since 1996 . The hospital building is a listed building and, together with the Jerusalem Church and the Deaconess House, is part of a building ensemble .
history
The Jerusalem Hospital has its origins in the Jerusalem Congregation, which was founded in the middle of the 19th century by the Mission Society of the Irish Presbyterian Church in Hamburg. The aim of the missionary work was the charity and conversion of Jews, primarily Jewish emigrants from Eastern Europe, who stayed temporarily in Hamburg. In 1884 long-time pastor Arnold Frank - himself a converted Jew - began his pastor's position in the Jerusalem congregation. Diakonia work and the establishment of the hospital began under his leadership .
In 1902 the first deaconess began her work in the care of the Jerusalem congregation. The first deaconesses came from the mother house Altvandsburg in West Prussia , today Więcbork in Poland. The nurses' station was in the mission house on Eimsbütteler Strasse. Since the work of the Vandsburg sisters did not seem to fit the goals of the Jewish mission, Frank ended the collaboration again in 1904. In order to find access to Jewish women, Frank looked for other employees for the Diakonie. With Countess Lydia von der Groeben he found his first new helper. In 1907 the congregation opened the new deaconess house on Dillstrasse in the Grindelviertel , a center of Jewish life in Hamburg. The first two deaconesses came from the Salem mother house in Berlin-Lichtenrade .
Since the work of the community was spread over too many locations, the community decided under Frank's leadership to consolidate at one location. At the corner of Schäferkampsallee and Moorkamp, the community found a plot of land measuring 3,570 m². Because of the route of the subway under the site, there was no possibility of high-density development with multi-storey buildings, which lowered the price. Because the Hamburg Jerusalem congregation did not form a separate legal entity, the Presbyterian Church in Ireland from Belfast acquired the property for them in 1911 for 55,000 m from the city. The square meter price of 15.40 gold marks corresponds to 5.522 grams of fine gold . In 1912 the newly built Jerusalem Church was consecrated. Shortly thereafter, the congregation built the hospital and a deaconess house on the same property, both opened in 1913.
During the First World War , Arndt, an English citizen, left Germany with his family and lived in Switzerland. During the war, the Jerusalem Hospital was used as a military hospital . Operations were carried out in the two operating rooms and seriously wounded soldiers were cared for in the house. After the end of the First World War, another operating room and a new building with a maternity ward were added. In 1933, at the Jerusalem hospital 225 babies were delivered .
Many converted Jews were employed in the hospital and in the deaconess house . In order to avoid the beginning of the persecution of Jews by the National Socialist government, Pastor Frank placed the entire Diakonie and the hospital under the responsibility of the Bernese Deaconess Mother House in Salem in neutral Switzerland, today the Salem Hospital . The Diakonie was still able to offer work to some people persecuted as Jews, but by 1933 all Jewish doctors had to leave the hospital. In 1938, the German government issued a general ban on medical professionals who were considered Jewish. In 1939 the Jerusalem congregation was banned, and in 1941 the Jerusalem hospital was given the “ Aryanized ” name Krankenhaus am Moorkamp . During air raids on the night of June 26-27, 1942 - a good year before Operation Gomorrah - the hospital was hit by incendiary bombs, but it was able to be repaired. The neighboring church was badly hit and was not repaired until 1953.
After the Second World War the Diakoniewerk was expanded. The hospital was modernized and was given its ancestral name again. Because of the decline in the birth rate , the maternity ward was closed in the late 1980s.
In 2002, the denominational sponsors of the Hamburg hospitals Alten Eichen, Bethanien, Elim and Jerusalem were to merge to form a joint diaconal center for reasons of economy. However, the Jerusalem Hospital left this planned association. The remaining three houses were built in 2011 by the new Diakonie Center on former ETV sites on the corner of Hohe Weide and Bundesstrasse and were incorporated into the Agaplesion Group.
In 2007, three on-site gynecologists and a businessman took over the hospital from Diakoniewerk Jerusalem, and the supporting company was converted from a non-profit GmbH to a GmbH . The hospital's sponsoring company is wholly owned by an investment company that was founded in 2007 for the purpose of privatization.
Today's medical focus
The Mammazentrum Hamburg has existed at the Jerusalem Hospital since 1996, with a focus on breast surgery including breast reconstruction . In 2018, around 1,800 breast cancer operations were performed at Jerusalem Hospital. The Breast Center at Jerusalem Hospital is the first German breast center to be certified by the EUSOMA ( European Society of Breast Cancer Specialists ) (as of 2016). For certification, EUSOMA requires more than 150 surgically treated, new breast cancer cases per year in the entire breast center and at least two specialized breast surgeons who treat at least 50 patients each year. In addition, the hospital is certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001: 2015.
The Mammazentrum Foundation was founded in 2008 and is under the patronage of Barbara Auer . The Mammazentrum Foundation supports u. a. the training and employment of nurses as "Breast Care Nurse" and ensures the financing of the cooling cap therapy, by means of which the hair loss as a side effect of chemotherapy can be significantly reduced in many patients. The latest project of the Mammazentrum Foundation is to provide hand and foot cooling devices to prevent nerve damage as a result of chemotherapy.
The hospital was included in the Hamburg hospital plan for the first time in 2013 with 30 beds . In 2019, the Hamburg health authority assigned the hospital full inpatient capacity of 20 beds with a focus on breast surgery in the updated hospital plan, in which it is designated as a breast center.
Architecture and equipment
The Jerusalem Hospital is a brick building in the neo-Romanesque style. The main building is set back from the street front at Moorkamp 2–6, and there is a right of way on the square. The house has two main floors and three attic floors, to the left and right of the front facade there is a risalit . A wing to the rear adjoins the main building to the north.
In 2007 the Hamburg Monument Protection Office placed the Jerusalem Hospital together with the church and community hall under monument protection.
