history
Beginning in the 1920s
In 1921 the construction of a Catholic hospital was decided at the Catholic Church Congress in Nuremberg. One reason for this is likely to have been the growing number of Catholic Nuremberg residents who had moved here from Upper Palatinate and Upper and Lower Bavaria. To this day, the St. Theresien Hospital is the only Catholic clinic in Nuremberg. After the decision, the Theresien-Krankenhaus-Bauverein was founded. The Provincial Mother House of the Niederbronn Sisters in Neumarkt agreed to take over the care of the sick. Inflation, mass unemployment and a precarious political situation stood in the way of the plans to build a hospital. The Provincial Motherhouse therefore had to build the hospital "at its own risk" and thus finance the construction and land acquisition itself. Construction of the hospital began in 1926. The St. Theresien Hospital was inaugurated on July 22, 1928, initially as a "surgical hospital hospital". In 1929 the city council approved beds for internal medicine and obstetrics.
War and post-war period
During the Second World War, the Catholic hospital had to provide 100 beds as a military hospital. In addition, a high bunker was built in which up to 1,000 civilians sought protection in the event of air attacks. After the heavy air raids on Nuremberg on January 2, 1945, hospital operations were only possible in the bunker. Due to the increasing number of patients, this remained occupied until 1990, when it was renovated and expanded later.
Organizational upheavals in the 1970s
Extensive restructuring measures were imminent between 1971 and 1973 - among other things as a response to health policy reforms and the sharply lower birth rates as a result of the so-called “pill break”. The medical specialties of surgery and internal medicine became main departments with employed doctors under the direction of chief physicians. The anesthesiology and the new radiological institute were now also run full-time. On the other hand, attending physicians practiced in gynecology and obstetrics, in orthopedics, in ear, nose and throat medicine and in urology. Administrative tasks, which until 1972 had mainly been done by nuns, were now taken over by secular specialists. Since July 1, 1980, the St. Theresien Hospital has been a non-profit company with limited liability.
Extension and general renovation
Large parts of the hospital were still in the post-war state in the 1970s. Therefore, extensive work on the building complex began in 1984. A fourth house was built for operating theaters and an intensive care unit, among other things. The other three construction phases were completely renovated. The gutting of the bunker in 1990 caused major disruptions to ongoing operations. During the general renovation, pavilions were built on the property boundary to Mommsenstrasse, into which medical practices could move. After a total of 14 years of construction and renovation, the completion of the overall renovation was celebrated in 1999.

The St. Theresien Hospital in Nuremberg has six clinics run by the chief physician:
- Clinic for Trauma Surgery and Orthopedics
- Clinic for General and Visceral Surgery
- Medical clinic with geriatric rehabilitation

- Certification according to "Rehaspect", a quality management process for inpatient rehabilitation facilities

The entire building is also certified according to ISO 9001. This standard proves a systematic and structured approach within the hospital and thus guarantees a high level of safety for the patients.
