history

A hospital has been in use in the town of Hof since the 13th century, when a foundation was established around 1260 through which a hospital , a hospital church as well as an old people's and poor house for Hof citizens at the lower gate north of the town church St. Michaelis outside the town walls was built.

In 1912 a new location for the construction of a city hospital on Eppenreuther Strasse was determined. The foundation stone was laid in 1928 . The hospital was inaugurated in 1931, at that time it had 280 beds. The first expansion took place in 1951, to 550 beds. In 2000 a major renovation was completed and the new building opened. On the ground floor there is the emergency room , the ambulance , the admission management, the urology and the palliative ward , a cafeteria and a hairdressing salon. During the time of the corona pandemic , the urology department was converted into a corona ward and the urology department moved to a higher floor. In other levels there is u. a. the children's clinic and diagnostic facilities, intensive care medicine , operating theaters , surgery and gynecology as well as internal medicine and the Raphael Chapel.

In 2005 a change was made from the city of Hof to the Sana Kliniken. In 2009 the intensive care unit was renewed and the first cardiac catheter laboratory opened, followed by the second in 2012. The energy center was completed in 2017 and the kitchen was renewed in 2018. The Da Vinci operating system has been used in the clinic since 2019 . In the same year a new construction phase began.

In August 2019, the clinic signed a cooperation agreement with the Erlangen University Clinic . The aim is to set up a 24-hour consultation service in Erlangen, an offer to assess and care for patients with premature children. In emergencies, surgical teams from Erlangen are supposed to come to Hof to operate there.

In 2019, the urologist and chief physician Hansjörg Keller was named one of the leading doctors in Germany for the 13th time in a row by Focus health magazine.

Today the Sana-Klinikum is a care level II hospital . It has 465 full and 22 part-time inpatient beds and employs around 1,000 people. With around 25,000 inpatient and 30,000 outpatient cases and a total of 55,000 patients per year, it is one of the largest somatic acute hospitals in Bavaria .

Raphael Chapel

Raphael Chapel with a view of the altar area

The Raphael Chapel of the Hof Clinic is on Level 2 and was renovated in 2000. Since suffering and longing for hope and recovery determine the daily routine in a hospital, a hospital chapel is more than a companion through the church year and a place for the gathering of Christian community. When designing the chapel, emphasis was placed on the components of light and warmth, achieved with the original materials of wood, light and color. The material wood stands for warmth and fire. The light breaks out of the altar in the shape of a cross, as a sign of the presence of God and to give security. The cross also reminds us of the suffering that Jesus Christ shares with the viewer. Glass is a transcendent and symbolic mediator between the tangible world and the spirit of God who pervades it.

The altar is made of ash wood, a wood that has been said to have healing powers since ancient times. The ambo and the tabernacle are also supported by this wood and form a unit with the altar. The altar is designed as a winged altar and can close and open its interior according to medieval and baroque concepts. The color of the altar wall, between yellow, ocher and old red, was applied with laser technology, the colors overlap. The resulting color value has a calming effect in color theory and psychology. The icon and the crucifix were taken from the old chapel. Like an old parchment , the mural without writing lies between the two.
