1872 The Dernbacher sisters come to Bockenheim, in the wild and inhuman early days, which meant a life under the worst conditions for the workers. They went to the sick in every house, regardless of the patient's beliefs - even in Jewish houses, which was actually impossible at the time. Because their motto is: People first! In 1882 the private hospital was built on Weserstraße and finally offered the work of the Dernbach sisters a proper setting. 1888 The hospital on Ederstrasse is inaugurated and at that time already focused on pulmonary medicine - tuberculosis was widespread among workers - and ophthalmology. Many old Bockenheimers remember this house well. 1918 After the First World War, when the misery in Bockenheim was enormous, the incurable TB patients from the trenches, the victims of the devastating flu waves and the starving population of Bockenheim are looked after. 1933 The hospital is a thorn in the side of the Frankfurt Nazis under the notorious Gauleiter Sprenger. The Gestapo is in the house again and again and the then representative Sister Marcia falls victim to the denunciation. She is deported to a concentration camp. Although hospitals are urgently needed, the hospital was closed in 1944 for ideological reasons. When there were only three functioning hospitals in Frankfurt a little later, patients were allowed to be admitted again, but for safety reasons they were brought to a hotel in Bad Nauheim. 1944 In the air raid on September 12th, which laid the whole of Bockenheim in ruins, the hospital on Ederstrasse was hit and completely destroyed. As if by a miracle, all the nurses and patients in the basement survive. 1945 Immediately after the end of the war, the sisters made their way to the American occupiers and managed to get an emergency hospital right here. The Americans donated two barracks that were erected between the rubble mountains of the Passavant villa. The park was turned into a farm for patient care and food was cooked in a rubble house without a roof. 2015 On June 30th, the official start of the expansion and modernization at Eli will be celebrated with a groundbreaking ceremony. 2017 In November, the St. Marien Hospital moves from the Frankfurt Nordend to the expanded St. Elisabeth Hospital. 2019 In June, the St. Elisabethen Hospital is sold to the Artemed Clinic Group, and operations are transferred in August.
