history
On November 21, 1861, St. Josef Stift was opened as a new poor house . The name goes back to Hermann-Josef Weber, the sponsor and mayor of Heinsberg from 1857 to 1866. The Sisters of Mercy of St. Karl Borromeo from Trier . From 1891 onwards, the St. Josef Stift was mainly occupied by sick people and from then on the care of the daughters of Christian love of St. Vincent de Paul took over .
In 1925, the first surgeon began work in the 50-bed hospital, and a new building was opened on March 19, 1929. Most of the hospital was destroyed in an Allied bombing raid on November 16, 1944 during World War II. From 1945 the main building was rebuilt on its foundations. In 1948 a specialist department for internal medicine was set up. In 1953 the hospital was expanded with a north wing and a farm building was built. The extension with a west wing followed three years later. From 1958 to 1969 the Sisters of Divine Providence from Mainz took over the care. In 1974 a specialist department for anesthesia is set up. Under city director Richard Nouvertné, the municipal hospital was converted into a GmbH on January 1, 1981, with the city of Heinsberg as the sole shareholder. The city's mayor is also the chairman of the board of directors. The old monastery building was demolished in the course of the city renovation in 1981. Further extensions followed in the 1990s (radiology, ward block). In 2003 a new west wing was built with functional diagnostics for internal medicine, physical therapy, an intensive care unit and delivery rooms. In 2005 the hospital had 215 beds and around 300 employees treated 7,500 inpatients and 10,462 outpatients.
In 2010 there were over 350 employees, including 42.1 full-time doctors. They cared for 8,663 inpatients and 19,538 outpatients. In 2010 a medical service center with nine specialist practices was opened on the clinic premises.

Hospital chapel
A Roman Catholic chapel has been located on the second floor of the hospital since 2012 . Already in the old St. Josef-Stift there was a separate room for church services from 1861, which became a hospital chapel when the poor foundation was converted into a hospital in 1929. Pastoral care and patient care was taken over by various religious orders , from 1969 the priests in Heinsberg parishes. In the same year a new room was set up as a chapel in the hospital. This remained in use until the clinic was renovated in 2012. Expansion of the hospital and the establishment of a new palliative care unit then made it necessary to move.
The new hospital chapel is a rectangular room on the second floor of the hospital building. This is equipped with an altar , tabernacle , lectern and a crucifix as well as an electronic organ. Some of the furnishings still come from the old chapel, as well as the bell from the earlier St. Josef monastery from 1863.

The artist Sebastian Slabys from Jülich-Barmen took on the redesign of the room . The new chapel was consecrated on October 29, 2012.
