history

Historical illustration of the St. Josef Hospital in the Stadtpark (1911)

In 1909 the city of Bochum and the St. Elisabeth Foundation signed a contract to create sufficient "patient isolation facilities". The board of trustees of the St. Elisabeth Foundation decided to build the St. Josef Hospital in 1909, and the property was donated by the Grummer landowner Aloysia Höhne. In 1910, the Board of Trustees commissioned the architect Alexander Cazin in Münster to plan the hospital. In 1911, the St. Elisabeth Foundation opened the St. Josef Hospital with a main department for internal diseases and a department for gynecology and obstetrics as well as for dermatology and venereology.

In 1911 the first seven Sisters of Charity from the Order of Saint Vincent von Paul from the Paderborn mother house began their permanent service in the St. Josef Hospital. In 1911, the Board of Trustees appointed Josef Lossen as the first chief physician. In 1922 a surgical department and an ENT department were opened. The Bochum architect Bernhard Wielers planned an extension for the main building in 1926. In 1927 the Paderborn Bishop Caspar Klein blessed the newly built hospital chapel. In 1928 an eye evidence department was opened.

time of the nationalsocialism

The seizure of power by the National Socialists led to great difficulties: the hospital staff looked after people persecuted by the National Socialists with great willingness to help. In 1939 a large Kneipp base was opened. With the beginning of the Second World War, many doctors and nurses were called up for military service. In 1940 the state authorities set up a water bunker at the site of today's lying approach, and in 1941 an air raid shelter was built to provide emergency supplies to the population during the bombing. In contrast to its sister clinic, the St. Elisabeth Hospital in downtown Bochum , the hospital was hardly damaged during the war.

post war period

In 1949 the air raid shelter was rebuilt by Bernhard Wielers . In 1958, an eight-story extension with 66 hospital rooms, in which 210 patients were cared for, was opened. In 1959 the main building was extensively renovated and modernized, and in 1961 a treatment wing with a laboratory, X-ray rooms and operating rooms was built. In 1962 the neurological and radiological clinics were ceremoniously opened, and in 1969 the isotope department was established within the radiological clinic. In 1971 an extension for the neurology and infection department was completed and in 1976 an interdisciplinary intensive care unit was set up. In 1977 the St. Josef Hospital was elevated to the rank of a university clinic, the orthopedic clinic opened in 1981 and a left heart catheter measuring station was acquired in 1981. In 1983 the "Westphalian State Children's Clinic" was incorporated. In 1986 a linear accelerator was installed. The new orthopedic building was completed in 1991, and in 1994 a new operating wing with six operating theaters. In 1995 a vascular surgery focus was established. In 1998 the internal medicine clinic was divided into medical clinics I and II. The new lecture hall center for university lectures, training courses and events began operations in 2003, and in 2004 the new patient admission facility. In 2005 the St. Josef Hospital and St. Elisabeth Hospital were merged to form the St. Josef and St. Elisabeth Hospital gGmbH. In 2006 the new infection house was built, and in 2010 the “JosefCarrée” with doctor's offices, service facilities and a hospital ward opened. In 2013 a large ward with 88 patient rooms was completed. The Institute for Research and Teaching (IFL) opened in 2019. In the same year, the clinic began building an operating theater center.

Today the house is sponsored by the Catholic Clinic Bochum gGmbH .
