history
Early years
The Jewish surgeon Alfred Haas had the clinic and residential wing built in 1910/11 at Richard-Wagner-Straße 19 in Maxvorstadt . His wife Elsa, a daughter of the brewery owner Joseph Schülein (1854–1938), brought the property into the marriage as a dowry. The architect Max Neumann created a four-story Art Nouveau building with a rusticated ground floor. Above it is a lengthways balcony stretched by two three-sided cores. The clinic offered space for 45 patients. The operating theater with a rounded floor plan was located on the top floor and was supplied with daylight through skylights .
In clear contrast to the neighboring historicist houses as well as to the typical houses from the heyday of Art Nouveau in Munich, the neo-classical building was characterized by an objective attitude and conveyed a rather restrained overall impression.
In 1928 the well-performing clinic was able to be opened by the acquisition of the neighboring house Richard-Wagner-Str., Also built by Franz Rank in 1911. 17 can be expanded by 15 beds. The X-ray department was set up on the ground floor.
National Socialist Expulsion
During the Nazi era , the deaconesses, who had been nurses since the clinic was founded, quit their service for racist reasons, after there had been difficulties with the assistant doctors. The clinic could only be maintained because Catholic nuns from the Congregation of the Franciscan Sisters of Erlenbad stepped in at short notice and took over the care. After his license to practice medicine was revoked in October 1938, Haas and his family emigrated to the United States. A maternity hospital was set up in his clinic, and the nuns were soon replaced by secular nursing staff, the so-called "Brown Sisters".
Maternity clinic among Franciscan Sisters
After the restitution of his property rights after the Second World War, Alfred Haas sold the clinic to the Congregation of the Franciscan Sisters of Erlenbad , as his family preferred to stay in the United States after the discrimination and persecution experienced during the Third Reich.
The Franciscan Sisters operated under the name “Privatklinik Dr. Haas “the maternity hospital with attending doctors. In 1965 the facility was acquired through the purchase of Richard-Wagner-Str. 15 expanded again. In addition to caring for the patients, the clinic kitchen provided daily meals for the homeless.
End of the clinic
When the business was no longer financially viable in the 1990s, the clinic was sold to a clinic operator in 1994 who, however, had to file for bankruptcy a short time later.
After two years of vacancy and renovations between 1996 and 1998, the building is now home to owner-occupied apartments.
The facade of the house is now greatly simplified. It is a listed building and is a constituent part of the Richard-Wagner-Straße ensemble .
