history

Was first documented in 1381, the location just outside the town of Neumarkt infirmary . This was located 700 meters outside the city walls on the road to Nuremberg in the immediate vicinity of the St. Anna Church, which was later built there . Around 1800 the poor house was also used for general medical care for the sick.

On March 4, 1831, the city ​​council of Neumarkt decided to build a new hospital. Reasons for this were, in addition to medical care for the population of Neumarkt, also the construction of the Ludwig-Danube-Main Canal , which repeatedly resulted in serious accidents. The two-story building was inaugurated on October 15, 1837. The hospital had 30 beds, twelve sick rooms, an operating room, a bathroom and two kitchens. In the years 1926 and 1952, major extensions and alterations were made, which were considerably expanded between 1960 and 1970. The sponsorship also changed from a special purpose association between the district and the city of Neumarkt to sponsorship by the district of Neumarkt idOPf. In 1988 the Neumarkt Clinic was recognized as a teaching hospital of the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg . Since January 1, 2005, the Neumarkt Clinic has been operated as an independent municipal company in the Neumarkt district. In 2012 the clinic celebrated its 175th anniversary.
