history

The hospital was founded by Bremen Catholics in 1869 . After a typhoid epidemic four sisters came out of the nursing order of Franciscan nuns at St. Mauritz in Münster  - after negotiation and conclusion of contract on May 11, 1869 - to Bremen. Even then, the principle applied that nursing should take place without making a difference in terms of “denomination and class”.

Sisters in the garden of the St. Joseph-Stift (around 1900)

The sisters were respected in the Hanseatic city and soon the modest allotted rooms were no longer sufficient, so that they bought a larger house. The purchase contract was rejected, however, so that in 1870 the association for the Joseph-Stift was founded, which had set itself the goal of building a hospital. After the association had cared for the sick in various houses for several years (1870: Mittelstrasse 8; 1873: Neustadtsdeich 42), the construction of the hospital on what was then Schwachhauser Chaussee (today Schwachhauser Heerstrasse No. 54 ) began in 1878 in the still undeveloped meadows ). It was largely financed by donations and was built according to plans by the architect Heinrich Flügel (1849–1930).

The brick building was completed in 1881; the hospital had 60 beds and already had a special department with a clinic for eye diseases. This was followed in 1893 by a clinic for ear, nose and throat diseases and five years later, the doctor Dr. Georg Brautlecht (1869–1945) the so-called radiation cabinet in the hospital, which meant that Bremen, only three years after Röntgen's discovery, was the first German city to have an X-ray institute in a clinical operation.

Remains of the neo-Gothic old building by architect wing still form part of the hospital today. The associated chapel on the corner of Schubertstrasse and Schwachhauser Heerstrasse was fundamentally redesigned from 1901 to 1902 by the Bremen architects Friedrich Wellermann and Paul Frölich and shaped the corner of the building complex on the corner of Schwachhauser Heerstrasse. In the years that followed, the hospital was repeatedly rebuilt and enlarged, for example in 1908 by an isolation house with 80 beds. In 1910 it had 140 beds and in 1931 it was able to admit 485 inpatients, who were looked after by 80 nurses.

From 1905 to 1937, Dr. Heinrich Gross (1869–1954) as chief surgeon . He introduced modern, aseptic surgery in Bremen. The Heinrich-Gross-Straße in Bremen- Obervieland was named after him.

During the First World War the house served as a military hospital as well as during the Second World War , when it was damaged by air raids. After that, the reconstruction began, with several outbuildings also being built.

Since 1986 the St. Joseph-Stift has been an academic teaching hospital of the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen . Today's main entrance is on Schubertstrasse.

Joseph Quarter

The outpatient clinic at St. Joseph-Stift, the medicum bremen and the Caritas-Zentrum Bremen are located on the premises of the hospital . The resident specialists and medical service providers work in cooperation with the hospital and thus broaden the range of medical services in prevention and therapy.
