Philip's pen

The Philippusstift is a hospital in Essen district Borbeck-Mitte . The sponsor is the Katholisches Klinikum Essen GmbH , which has been part of the Contilia Group since 2014 .

history

Against the resistance of Borbeck's mayor Rudolf Heinrich , who saw no future for a hospital sponsored by a Catholic parish, the parish of St. Dionyius established it and on October 15, 1892 received approval from the Düsseldorf regional president , Eberhard von der Recke from the Horst . The foundation stone was laid that same year.

On All Saints' Day in 1893, the first patients were placed in the care of what was initially the only doctor. The new hospital was named after Philipp Cardinal Krementz , Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Cologne , who visited the construction site on a visitation trip in June 1893. In order to secure the future financing of the Philippus Foundation, the Borbeck pastor Karl Sonnenschein bequeathed his entire estate to the hospital in 1895.

Nursing was done by the Sisters of Mercy of St. Elisabeth , who was replaced by the Hiltrup Mission Sisters on December 15, 1925 . In October 1984 it became known that the nuns would be withdrawn on April 30, 1985 - also due to a lack of young people.

The Philippus Foundation gained nationwide attention when the neurologist Ferdinand Segerath opened the first psychiatric-neurological ward in a general hospital in the German Reich in 1925 .

Up until the beginning of the Second World War , the hospital underwent several renovations and extensions, of which the central new building erected in 1925/26 still forms the focal point of the building complex. During the war, parts of the Philippus pen were so badly damaged that they were not rebuilt. That is why there were already considerations in the early 1960s about building a new clinic on an agricultural area that the house had previously used for its own supply. This development of the plan came to an end in 1984 when the decision was made to subject the main building to a general renovation from 1925/26 and to make it fit for the future with a new extension costing 37 million Deutschmarks. In the course of this renovation, the hospital chapel was also renovated, with the visual artist Emil Wachter designing the windows.
