Sankt Gertrauden Hospital

The Sankt-Gertrauden-Krankenhaus is a hospital in Berlin-Wilmersdorf . It was opened on November 4, 1930 and is run by the Katharinese nurses, three of whom were still living in a convent on the clinic premises in 2008 . The hospital is a teaching hospital of the Charité .

history

The hospital came into being after a hospital building by the Catherine Sisters in Königsberg failed due to disputes with the local city administration. The Superior General Winifreda of the Catherine's Sisters , who happened to be in Berlin in 1929, met the architect Hermann Bunning in the city , who had been working for the Catholic Church in Berlin for a long time. Both agreed to build the hospital on a large outdoor area between Wilmersdorf and Schmargendorf near Berlin , which also offered sufficient space for the Catherine's Sisters to farm . When the hospital opened, it had 580 beds and 25,000 square meters of parking space. Today this area is located in the city center not far from the city ​​motorway and the S-Bahn ring .

During the Second World War , the hospital served as a military hospital . In addition to the 500 beds for wounded soldiers, 200 beds remained for civilians in need. The hospital itself remained almost undamaged during the World War. Since the German headquarters of the Catherine Order was in East Prussia , many sisters fled the fighting to Berlin, so that at times up to 120 sisters lived in the monastery in the hospital and up to two sisters worked on each ward. At the end of 1945 there were still 60 nurses living and working in the hospital, compared to 13 in 2000.

An extensive renovation of the building complex and modernization of the medical equipment took place between 1990 and 2000. Despite the work that had started, the Berlin health administration wanted to close the hospital completely in 1998, but the operators were able to prevent this.
