Parts of the current building ensemble are among the city's cultural monuments .

history

With the Reformation , Flensburg had become Protestant . In 1528 the monks of the Franciscan monastery of St. Katharinen were expelled. During the German-Danish War in 1864, the Order of Malta was involved in the medical care of injured soldiers in Flensburg. They looked after the war wounded in the government courtyard and in the neighboring Borgerforeningen . Following the war, a Catholic community was founded in Flensburg on the basis of the religious freedom that prevailed in Germany , which later became the main church of St. Mary's Sorrowful Mother . The Maltese were also allowed to stay in the city. The Maltese acquired the building Marienstraße No. 23-25, on the corner of Lilienstraße, which was built between 1800 and 1850. In 1866 they had it increased by two floors in order to open it as the St. Franziskus Hospital in 1867. The new hospital was sponsored by the Cooperative of the Rhenish-Westphalian Maltese Devotion Knights. The first Maltese hospital in Germany came into being with the war . There were a total of 24 beds in Marienstraße.

In 1901 a new building with 40 beds was started on Dorotheenstrasse. Further extensions follow. The houses at Dorotheenstrasse 34–38 by the Flensburg architect Karl Bernt , built in 1909–1911 with the assistance of master mason Andr. Jensen were demolished after the First World War . The St. Franziskus Hospital was expanded in this area. In 1918 the gynecological and obstetric department was opened, in 1922 the eye, ear, nose and throat departments, and in 1925 the department for internal medicine and the children's department.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the sister organization of the Catholic Maltese, the evangelical Johanniter Unfallhilfe , founded the Flensburger Tafel, which was initially located in various places in the city until it finally moved into rooms on the edge of the hospital.

A sleep laboratory was set up in 2009.

In 2014, the practice for internal medicine in Harrislee, with the address Am Hang 1, which had been in existence for over 40 years, was transferred to a medical care center, thus better linking outpatient and inpatient care with the hospital. Said area of ​​internal medicine is primarily concerned with gastroenterology and rheumatology.

Investment in new ENT clinic in Flensburg

In 2016 a new department for ear, nose and throat medicine, head and neck surgery and plastic surgery was established. The analysis predicted that the demand in the northern region of Schleswig-Holstein would justify this step. Initially, it started with only 2 doctors, 2 surgery days a week and a few beds - in 2019 the ENT clinic already comprised 23 beds, 8 doctors and operations every day in 1.5 rooms every day. The focus is on ear surgery, tumor surgery and plastic and functional operations on the nose.

A medical care center (MVZ) on Twedter Plack , with the address Marrensdamm 12a, was also set up. 99 percent of ENT patients from Flensburg and the surrounding area can be cared for in the hospital's ENT department.

Facility

The house has 319 beds and 750 employees.
