history

At the beginning of the 19th century, Düsseldorf-Derendorf was an explosively growing district that attracted large numbers of job seekers. The parish “St. Trinity ”had over 12,000 members. About two thirds of today's Düsseldorf belonged to their “Sprengel”! The social hardship in this community was still manageable, but it could no longer be overcome with pure neighborhood help and state institutions alone. The pastor at the time, Heinrich Saedler, tried to remedy the situation by setting up a charitable service to alleviate the direct need on site. He called the Vincentians from Cologne, offered them accommodation, and so the sisters began providing outpatient care for the sick and the elderly in Düsseldorf. After a short time, an asylum for young workers and female prisoners, a children's custody and Sunday school, a soup kitchen for the poor and, above all, a small gynecological medical station, where poor women could be treated and operated on free of charge, were established. From this station, the "Vinzenz House", today's St. Vinzenz Hospital was created.
