history

The predecessor of today's hospital was a "little monastery", also called "Kempscher Hof" after one of its founders, which from November 1857 was run by the Order of the Poor Maidservants of Jesus Christ along with a children's custody and sewing school at the location of the new Honnef order branch in the former "Siegburger Hof" the Michaelsberg Abbey was built on the Rommersdorfer road. From 1868 to 1873, donations from wealthy citizens, including the Schülgen, Kemp, Schaaffhausen and Bredt families, were made to enable the building of their own hospital. The siblings Elise and Philomene Schülgen († 1867 and 1868) set their brothers as universal heirs on the condition that they finance the new building with a capital of 55,000 thalers and a plot of around three acres . These plans could only be implemented after the end of the Kulturkampf . The Catholic parish of St. Johann Baptist joined the foundation of the Schülgen siblings, which was granted by the Cologne merchant Franz Schülgen († 1907) with the approval of Wilhelm I on September 27, 1885 in the form of a plot of land of 80.74 ares and a capital of 120,000 Mark and became the sponsor of the new hospital. It was created from the spring of 1886 in neo-Gothic forms based on a design by the Cologne architect August Carl Lange (1834–1883), who was also responsible for the construction of the Rommersdorf Annakapelle in Honnef , and was named after the main donors in “Elise-Philomene- Pen "named. The foundations of the medieval Domus Dei chapel were exposed during construction . The hospital was inaugurated on October 15, 1888. The poor servants of Jesus Christ took over the management again.

In 1901 the hospital was expanded to include an isolation house for infectious diseases. During the First World War it was used as a military hospital from the first month of the war . In 1926 the hospital was expanded again by the city of Honnef at a cost of 110,000 Reichsmarks . In 1949 it was named “St. Johannes Hospital ”. In 1961, due to the increasing shortage of religious sisters, the hospital operator terminated the contract with the poor servants of Jesus Christ, who gave up their work in Bad Honnef in 1963. From 1964 to 1968, the facility was expanded to include a new ward block and a treatment wing for around 8.5 million Deutschmarks , mainly from funds from the state and the Archdiocese of Cologne . On January 1st, 1980 the St. Johannes Hospital merged with the St. Josef Hospital of the parish of St. Remigius in Königswinter to form the "Catholic Hospital in the Siebengebirge" under the sponsorship of the "Catholic Hospital Association in the Siebengebirge" founded the year before. together. The operative departments were concentrated in Bad Honnef and the internal medicine departments, including geriatrics , in Königswinter .

In 2005, the Catholic association transferred the operation of both hospital operations to the "CURA Kath. Institutions im Siebengebirge gGmbH ", which also includes several old people's homes and kindergartens, and the majority of the company shares to the non-profit society of the Franciscans in Olpe (GFO). At the same time, following the approval of a grant by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia at the end of 2005, plans were started for a merger of the facilities in Bad Honnef and Königswinter at the Bad Honnef location to be expanded, which was decided in 1998/99. Construction work began in March 2008, during which, after the hospital chapel and cafeteria were demolished, a four-storey medical center with a kitchen on the ground floor and a new ward block (62 beds) were built, and the entrance area was expanded and equipped with a new ambulance access. The new bed wing and the new medical center, into which five medical practices moved, were already completed at the beginning of 2010. The old building was then modernized and expanded slightly. The relocation of the departments previously located in Königswinter took place after the renovation was completed in June 2011 and was associated with the reduction of 44 jobs or 30 full-time positions. The merger took up costs of 22 million euros , of which the state of North Rhine-Westphalia took on around 10 million euros. A new prayer room was inaugurated in early 2012.
