The Städtisches Krankenhaus Maria-Hilf Brilon gGmbH is a non-profit and, since 1966, communal hospital to promote and ensure public health care in the broadest sense for the North Rhine-Westphalian city of Brilon and the surrounding area. The story goes back to the hospital of the Holy Spirit mentioned in a document in 1384 .
According to the decision of the Arnsberg district government, the Maria-Hilf Hospital had 194 beds in 2011. The hospital has over 32 medical facilities for inpatient and outpatient care. Cooperations exist primarily with the Kassel Clinic , the Evangelical Hospital Lippstadt and the Helios Clinic Wuppertal (Neuronet).
history
A hospice in the city was first mentioned in a document from 1250. The Hospital of the Holy Spirit has been demonstrable since 1346. Presumably it existed years earlier on the site of today's Hövener house and was mostly available to needy women. The Marienhospital in Derker Straße was mentioned in 1496. The Heilig-Geist-Hospital on Marktplatz has been known since 1510. Another part of the former poor health system in Brilon was the infirmary, which housed people with infectious diseases isolated from the population. Only a few documents are available for this house, and the exact location has not been handed down. It was at the gates of the city . The historian Johann Suibert Seibertz wrote in 1864: The Briloner Siechen-Haus stood west of the city in front of the upper or Ledriker Thore, between the gardens and the Lehmenkaule, where it is still called "am Seikenshaus". The last garden on the right of the path to Altenbüren still bears the name "Seiken-Gärtchen". The amount and duration of the endowment has not been handed down; his fund was offset against the poor pensions at a later date. There are no more reports on the infirmary for the period after the Thirty Years' War . The final clue is from a file on a witch trial. The then mayor Albert Gerling had two women accused of witchcraft and sorcery tortured horribly in the infirmary . A xenodochium was available on Derker Strasse for strangers who fell ill while they were passing through . The Heilig-Geist-Hospital burned down in 1742 and was not rebuilt. A new hospital was set up in the command wing of the Minorite monastery in 1847. It was moved to Strackestrasse in 1869 and has been called the Maria-Hilf-Krankenhaus since then. A foundation called the Maria-Hilf Hospital was established in 1889, and a new building was built on Königstrasse. The Johannes Hospital in Dortmund suffered severe damage in the Second World War ; Therefore, in 1945, another hospital to the holy spirit was set up on Mühlenweg as a branch.
In the course of the following time the maintenance of two houses proved inexpedient. The architect Allerkamp from Paderborn received an order from the city to draw up a preliminary design for an extension. This was approved by both chief physicians and the special committee. The district government in Arnsberg and the state government were against an expansion, but offered funds for a new building. The two hospitals merged in 1966 and construction began on the Schönschede under municipal sponsorship. For this purpose, a total of 56,000 square meters of land was acquired; an addendum to the land consolidation procedure regulated the transfer of ownership. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on July 24, 1962. Since the building plot is on a slope, it had to be leveled and terraced. 16,000 cubic meters of earth were excavated for the excavation of the construction pit alone. This earth was stored in heaps nearby and was later used to create flat surfaces. A new road was built around the property and connected to the public network. The topping-out ceremony was celebrated on May 15, 1964. By autumn 1964, the two nurses' homes were also completed. The interior work was completed at the end of 1965, apart from a few defects, the hospital was opened on January 12, 1966, but was still not completely finished. The Vincentians, who were responsible for the care, reported numerous shortcomings to their motherhouse in Paderborn. It was said that the working conditions were extremely bad. The necessary facilities were lacking and there was a serious mess in the administration . The city promised further equipment and necessary personnel for the near future. These difficulties were apparently soon settled, and there is no news of any further complaints from the nuns. The hospital chapel was established around 1966. On behalf of the Archbishop of Paderborn, Provost Dünnebacke from the Brilon Provost Church donated the consecration. When it opened, the hospital had 210 beds. The hospital received an intensive care unit in 1977; this was the first intensive care unit in the old district of Brilon . In 1988 the house received an extension that was used as a south bed wing; an installation of a patient access system, a new ambulance and a cafeteria were installed in 1989. A complete renovation of the operating theater was necessary in 1993. Further renovation, extension and renovation measures have been carried out continuously until today.
