history

The hospital was founded in July 1855 by a charitable association of Catholic citizens to “take in poor sick people for free care”. The hospital was built in 1858 by Eduard Kramer with a capacity of 222 beds. When Matthias Joseph de Noël's widow MU de Noël died on June 7, 1861, she bequeathed 4,000 thalers to the hospital. Widow de Noël also donated the “Städtisches Marienhospital, Stiftung de Noël” monastery, which was not identical to the St. Marien Hospital. It received corporation rights on November 4, 1863 and was opened in 1864 and inaugurated by Archbishop Johannes von Geissel , and expanded in 1875 and 1879. In 1883 August Carl Lange created the three-aisled, neo-Gothic hall chapel.

In view of the changing social framework conditions over the years, the hospital has developed into a modern acute hospital over the decades. Today it is an important part of the medical care in the city center of Cologne.

The hospital has 157 beds and around 4,000 inpatients and over 9,000 outpatients are treated annually (as of 2010). In 2010 there were 338 employees in the St. Marien Hospital.
