history

As early as 1906, the idea of ​​an own hospital was discussed in Huckingen and the surrounding area. But it was only with the support of Count von Spee and his sister Countess Agnes that the construction of the hospital became possible. They provided a 5-acre property as well as a larger amount of money, subject to the condition that the hospital be built and operated by sisters from the mother house of the Cellitinnen , Kloster zur Heiligen Elisabeth in Cologne.

In March 1912, the plans for a hospital with 50 beds, all necessary ancillary facilities, operating rooms, lounges and utility rooms were presented. After approval by the regional president , the contracted building contractor Hollmann from Huckingen began construction work in the winter of 1912. The foundation stone was laid on April 6, 1913; it was opened on May 19, 1914. As agreed, the hospital was sponsored by the Order of the Cellites.

During the First World War , the St. Anna became a reserve hospital. In 1928 a new wing was inaugurated and the hospital was further enlarged in the 1930s. During World War II , on the night of May 21-22, 1944, the hospital was hit by a bomb and an aerial mine . 48 patients and employees died. The middle part of the building was destroyed. After the end of the war, St. Anna was rebuilt and in 1950 was one of the most modern hospitals in the country. In the decades up to the present day, various modernizations, extensions and extensions have followed continuously.

Due to ongoing concerns about the next generation, the Order of the Cellites handed over the sponsorship to the Order of Malta on January 1st, 1994 . Since then the hospital has been called the Maltese Hospital St. Anna . Despite the handover of the sponsorship, the Cellitinnen are still active in St. Anna today, especially in pastoral care.
