history

Marienhof

The Marienhof in the Rauental

It all began with the establishment of the community of “Sisters of the Holy Spirit”, who moved into a house in Koblenz's old town (Mehlgasse 8) on June 4, 1857 , to care for sick people in the spirit of the Gospel . After moving to a house on Löhrrondell in 1865, the Marienhof motherhouse was finally built on today's clinic premises in the Rauental from 1886 to 1887. As this building too soon no longer met the requirements, a larger hospital building was built next to the mother house and inaugurated on March 19, 1903.

During the First World War the hospital was a military hospital . Wounded soldiers were treated here until 1921. After the building was expanded in 1930 and 1938, a three-storey bunker was built in the park from 1941 to 1943 . In the heavy air raids in World War II , the mother house was completely destroyed on October 9, 1944 and the hospital on November 6, 1944. The bunker was now both military and hospital.

Reconstruction of the hospital began as early as October 1945 and was completed in 1950 with the relocation of the last patients from the bunker. On February 1, 1974, the construction of today's clinic building began and the new Marienhof was inaugurated on June 30, 1980 with 340 beds.

Brothers House St. Josef

The St. Joseph Brothers House in the gold mine

The congregation of the “ Barmherzigen Brüder von Maria Hilf ” founded by Peter Friedhofen in 1850 began in 1852 in Florinspfaffengasse in Koblenz with the care of the sick and those in need of care. The brothers' hospital in the gold mine was built between 1898 and 1899 with a capacity of 150 beds in an open field outside the city ​​walls . In the First World War it was used as a military hospital and also looked after English and French soldiers. His orthopedic workshop and the existing rehabilitation measures even enjoyed the praise of Kaiser Wilhelm II.

Up to 30 brothers from the congregation worked in the hospital. In 1937 they were threatened with expropriation by the National Socialists , but this was prevented by the Schoenstatt Sisters of Mary . During the Second World War, the hospital was used as a military hospital again and was destroyed in an air raid on July 19, 1944. After reconstruction at the end of the war, the east wing was added in 1964, and the south wing was added in 1993.

The hospital had to be completely evacuated on December 4, 2011 because of a bomb disposal . The evacuation of the house began two days in advance and the patients were distributed to hospitals in the area.

Brothers Hospital Montabaur

The Montabaur Brothers Hospital goes back to the founding of Peter Lötschert , the founder of the Brothers of Mercy from Montabaur .

Building description of the St. Josef Brothers House

Interior of the chapel in the St. Josef Brothers House

The listed old building of the St. Josef Brothers House in the Koblenz gold mine is a three-storey brick building in neo-Gothic style with an adjoining chapel . The main building has three risalits with roof gables , the middle one being wider, higher and deeper. The facade is structured by the contrast of red bricks with the light sandstone of the rusting edges, the floor cornices , the window garments and the entrance porch. In the gable of the central risalit there is a statue of the Sacred Heart in the canopy . The corridors inside have groined vaults .

The St. Josef Hospital Chapel is a west-facing, high hall building with four axes and a 3/8 choir closure . The chapel made of light sandstone blocks with stepped buttresses and a pointed octagonal roof turret stands out from the main building. The groin vault, which was destroyed in the Second World War, was reconstructed in 1979/80 with an open roof structure from Rabitz . The choir has a star rib vault . The otherwise three-lane tracery windows have two lanes in the polygon of the choir.

In the old surrounding wall of the hospital grounds, two standing stone panels of individual stations of the cross are walled in. The panel on the east side, created by Peter Fasbender von Molsberg from Koblenz, from the 15th century comes from the Way of the Cross between the Barbarakloster and the Carthusian monastery . It was roughly at the site of today's throat tower of Fort Konstantin .
