history
In 1887, Thuiner Franciscan Sisters arrived in Herford to work in outpatient nursing. After patients had also been admitted to the hospital, a hospital in the true sense gradually emerged. On June 25, 1891, the royal government in Minden granted official approval for the hospital. In 1897, nine sisters worked there, and in 1891 the first extension took place. This increased the number of hospital beds from 20 to 50 and the number of nuns from nine to 18. A second extension was decided in 1913.
In both world wars the hospital was also used as a military hospital .
After the roof structure and the adjacent "epidemic barracks" burned down on March 3, 1944 during the bombing of the city of Herford, a new building was inaugurated on November 26, 1957. The then so-called “Catholic Hospital” was given its name “Mathilden Hospital” so that everyone who worked there would follow their example.
All stations have been continuously renovated since 1998, so that when the work was completed, all patient rooms could be equipped with a wet room, TV, telephone and some with balconies.
