The hospital was a donation from the paper manufacturer Benno Schoeller to the Birgel office , to which Lendersdorf belonged at the time.

The hospital was put into operation on August 10, 1897. In 1928 a west wing was added. In 1961 the St. Elisabeth nursing home was built. In 1964 the bed and treatment wing followed. New operating theaters and an intensive care unit were added in 1988. In 1995–1997 a seven-story medical center was added. In 2005 the south wing was added with additional rooms and practices.
