history
In 1853, as a result of an epidemic in the Nassau evangelical Wiesbaden, the Catholic nuns of the poor, servants of Jesus Christ, started nursing. As early as 1857 this activity was received very positively, according to the "Doctors' Association". With the support of the Vinzenzverein and former evangelical patients, the number of sisters could grow to seven by 1862. Finally, a house of their own can be acquired in Friedrichstrasse, which initially had to serve as a hospital in the subsequent Franco-German war in 1870/71.
On November 25, 1876, the hospital was founded and the first inpatient was admitted. As early as 1892, the move to a new building on (today's) Langenbeckplatz, which was generous for the time , was planned and executed by Wiesbaden architect Wilhelm Bogler from 1890 . The former house was still used as a "hospice for the Holy Spirit". Among others, the surgeons Bernhard von Langenbeck and Friedrich Cramer , who became known for the " Cramer splint " he developed , worked in the new house . After the hospital was used again as a military hospital during the First World War , new departments began to be set up after the war. Its own gynecology department was set up, and a maternity ward was opened in 1925. Due to the expansion of capacities, it became necessary in 1930 for the first time to employ secular nurses in addition to the nuns.
During the Second World War , the hospital supplied the city's civilian population. In February 1945 the hospital was badly damaged by bombs. The damage cannot be finally repaired until the end of the 1950s. In the meantime the hospital was again too small for the increased needs, so that a new building is planned and inaugurated in 1965. The nursing concept of group nursing, which originated in the USA, is introduced here as the first hospital in Germany .
Since the dissolution of the "Filialinstitut der Armen Diestmaids Jesu Christi" (branch institute of the poor maidservants of Jesus Christ), the carrier has been the St. Josefs-Hospital Wiesbaden GmbH, which emerged from the nursing activities of the Dernbach sisters - the "poor servants of Jesus Christ" - in Wiesbaden. As a legally independent hospital operation, the house is a subsidiary of the St. Josefs-Hospital Wiesbaden Foundation. The legal representation of the GmbH is incumbent on the managing directors Martin Bosch (Chairman) and Thomas Reckmeyer. A representative of the order of the "Poor Maidservants of Jesus Christ" (Dernbacher Sisters) as well as the Catholic city dean of Wiesbaden or his deputy belong to the shareholders' meeting and the administrative board of the foundation.
On September 1, 2012, St. Josefs-Hospital Wiesbaden GmbH took over Otto-Fricke-Hospital Paulinenberg GmbH as a subsidiary. The Otto Fricke Hospital is a specialist clinic for geriatrics and orthopedics with locations in Bad Schwalbach and Wiesbaden. The Wiesbaden location has been located at the St. Josefs Hospital Wiesbaden since March 2013.
On March 25, 2014, the convention of the poor servants of Jesus Christ in St. Josefs Hospital was adopted and dissolved by the provincial leadership of the ADJC (Dernbach / Westerwald). The "Dernbacher Sisters" worked at Joho in Wiesbaden for almost 160 years.
Since January 1, 2016, the St. Josefs-Hospital Wiesbaden has taken over the sponsorship of the Rüdesheim hospital, which has since been called St. Josefs-Hospital Rheingau.
