History of the hospital
The administration of the hospital was transferred to the cathedral chapter of Augsburg in 1613. With his foundation in 1764, Johann Franz Wilhelm Freiherr von Bettendorf enabled the extension to include two side wings. During the secularization, the Bavarian state took over the cathedral chapter foundation. From 1853, Sisters of Charity began to work in the care. In 1979 secular staff were added, who have been looking after the house alone since 1980.
