history

Functional predecessors of today's Hanau Clinic were, on the one hand, the Alt-Hanauer Hospital , a late medieval foundation of the (later) old town of Hanau. In 1505 it was rebuilt in Hospitalstrasse, which is now named after it . With the founding of Hanauer Neustadt at the end of the 16th century, its citizens also founded their own hospital in 1609. This was initially on Frankfurter Strasse, but was later replaced by a new building on Leimenstrasse, where the Hanau Clinic is still located today.

During the Second World War, the hospital buildings were almost completely destroyed. Only in the 1950s could operations be resumed. In 1996 the psychiatric department was taken over by the State Welfare Association of Hesse , which is still located in a structurally separate, listed building complex that was formerly the seat of the High State School .
