Göggingen Hospital
The former Göggingen hospital is a neo-baroque building with a gabled central and two corner projections in the Göggingen district of Augsburg . Together with the associated park, it was placed under monument protection.
Until 1981 the hospital of the city of Göggingen, which was incorporated into Augsburg in 1972, was housed here. Today a home for mentally handicapped people has been set up there, the Clemens-Högg-Haus .
history
At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the city of Göggingen, which was still independent at the time, had a hospital with a large green area built on Römerweg, which had specialist departments for gynecology and internal medicine . The hospital's medical staff was provided by attending doctors.
In the course of the regional reform in Bavaria , Göggingen was incorporated into Augsburg in 1972 and the hospital, which had previously been run independently, was connected to the Augsburg Hospital Association , which is supported by the city and district of Augsburg . It soon became apparent that the departments managed by attending physicians were no longer needed because of the other Augsburg hospitals - above all the Central Clinic . For this reason, the Göggingen hospital was closed in 1981 and the staff was transferred.
After renovation work , the building on Römerweg was handed over to the workers' welfare organization, which set up a home for mentally handicapped people in it. In honor of Clemens Högg , member of the Augsburg state parliament , who died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945 , it is now called the Clemens-Högg-Haus . The building and the associated park were placed under monument protection.
