St. Vincenz Hospital

The St. Vincenz Hospital is a hospital in the Stoppenberg district of Essen . It belongs to the sponsoring Catholic Clinic Essen , which has been part of the Contilia group since 2014 .

history

The house has its historical roots in 1881, when the growing number of people injured in accidents and lung damage from mining in the Ruhr area made the construction of a hospital in Stoppenberg essential. The Catholic parish of St. Nikolaus dedicated itself to this task and was able to open the new hospital in 1886. At the urgent request of Pastor Peter Wilhelm Leonhard Hicken (1828–1901), nursing was done by four sisters from the Cooperative of the Sisters of Mercy of St. Elisabeth to eat . In the initial phase, all hospital services were provided free of charge; The first care allowance payments were not made until a year after the house was opened.

The steady growth of the economy and population at the time of industrialization made several extensions and renovations necessary in the following decades until the hospital was destroyed in air raids in the Second World War . Reconstruction turned out to be difficult, but at the beginning of the 1970s the house again had a total of 306 beds in eight departments. Further new building and modernization measures, but also restructuring combined with the reduction of bed capacities followed in the next two decades, during which the main building was expanded in 1990.
