history

In addition to the already existing ducal hospital, the neighboring Joseph Hospital was built between 1626 and 1632 on behalf of Elector Maximilian I and his wife Elisabeth as another of the court's hospitals and supply houses. In the course of time it was enlarged by Giovanni Antonio Viscardi in 1682, among others . The three-wing complex had a three-storey arcade architecture facing the courtyard; the center of the main page was emphasized by a gable with an onion dome. The style still points back in the direction of Marx Schinnagl .

The Josephspital also had a hospital church, the Roman Catholic Josephspitalkirche from 1632. The altarpiece depicting the dying St. Joseph was by Andreas Wolff . In 1700 the church was consecrated again after the hospital was expanded. In the years 1870 to 1881 the church furnishings were completely changed by the architect Johann Marggraff . This brought the renaissance to the hospital church. The altars from the early days of the church, the painting and jewelry were given a completely new look.

After the completion of the new Sankt Joseph retirement home in Sendling, construction period from 1925 to 1927, the first 100 residents were able to move into their new home on April 24, 1928. On January 26, 1929, the property on Joephspitalstrasse was sold to the city of Munich for 1.1,000,000 marks. The long history of this hospital ends here.

The Josephspitalkirche was demolished in 1945, as was the remains of the hospital that had been destroyed in the war . The building with the central church, which is open towards the inner courtyard with arcades, is an engraving by Michael Wening .
