History

Former Hospital of the Holy Spirit , today FOS / BOS Passau

The Passau General Hospital of the Holy Spirit was founded by Prince-Bishop Leopold III from 1770 to 1775 . Ernst Graf von Firmian built with 31 beds. There, all persons were treated free of charge, regardless of their status. Financing came from the income from foundations and donations from the prince-bishops and the citizens. Since the "New Hospital" was built on land owned by the Heiliggeist Foundation, a civil hospital foundation that can be traced back to 1344 , it also had rights to use the new building. Initially, only the 2nd floor served as the actual hospital. The ground floor, first floor and attic of the northern part of the building (in the picture the green part of the building in the middle) were used by the Heiliggeist-Stift. The Heiliggeist-Stift and the hospital virtually form a unit during this time. In the new hospital building, a high water mark from 1501 from a previous building was retained.

With the secularization of 1803 , the Heiliggeist-Stift was not dissolved as a civil welfare association. However, the prince-bishop's overall supervision with the right to appoint the respective monastery curator is transferred to the Bavarian state or to the royal general foundation administration, from which the foundation administration was transferred to the city magistrate in 1818. Since then the foundation has been officially called the »Bürgerliche Heiliggeist-Stiftung«.

From 1856 onwards the nursing of the sick was taken over by the sisters of St. Vincent von Paul , which they had to give up in 1971 due to a lack of children. As one of the first measures, the Stiftsschänke, in which the monastery-owned wines from the Wachau are served, was moved from the hospital to its current location in the former Franciscan monastery in 1857 .

In 1837 an epidemic house for leaf and cholera sufferers was added. This was - expanded several times - used from 1922 to 1991 as a home for babies and young women . Because of the continued lack of space and lack of beds, a new municipal hospital was built in 1929 at the current location next to the Maierhof Hospital in the Apfelkoch district with 180 beds for 3 million Reichsmarks . In the course of the new construction and relocation of the hospital, the hospital and the nursing home of the Heiliggeist Foundation were finally separated.

After the Second World War , this house was gradually expanded to its present size. Between 1984 and 2013 alone, a total of almost 200 million euros were invested, spread over four construction phases (construction completed in 1988, 1994, 2004 and 2013).
