Hospital lexicon for the German Empire
The hospital encyclopedia for the German Reich is a reference work which, according to its subtitle, lists the institutions of “institutional welfare for the sick and infirm and the hygienic institutions of the cities in the German Reich at the beginning of the twentieth century”. The encyclopedia published by Albert Guttstadt in 1900 according to official sources and published by Verlag Georg Reimer in Berlin lists the institutions operating at the time in the individual locations on more than 900 pages in alphabetical order, but broken down according to the individual member states of the German Empire . In addition to a subject and location register, the hospital lexicon also contains an appendix "German hospitals outside the German Reich."
In addition to the names of the facilities, the lexicon shows the construction and opening dates of the individual facilities, the names of the owners and managers, as well as the number of medical staff, beds, patients treated annually and information on the average length of stay. In addition, there are figures on collected or paid meals, on income and expenses and other economic data such as grants and their origin.
The forerunner of the lexicon was the hospital lexicon for the Kingdom of Prussia , published in two parts in 1885 and 1886 by the publishing house of the Royal Statistical Bureau K11 in Berlin and also edited by Albert Guttstadt . Subtitles The institutions for the sick and infirm and the hospital, lunatic asylum, blind and deaf beings ... .
A reprint of the work published in 1900 was published in 2018 as an eBook in PDF format by Verlag De Gruyter under ISBN 978-3-11-151626-4 .
