Jewish Hospital in Hamburg

The Jewish Hospital in Hamburg (German: Israelitische Krankenhaus Hamburg)[1] is a Jewish medical institution in Hamburg, Germany. It is particularly renowned for its treatment of gastric and bowel cancer.

History

The Israelite Hospital of Hamburg opened in 1843.[1] The city council donated land in the St. Pauli suburb, and building costs were entirely funded by Salomon Heine, a local Jewish banker.[2] He made two stipulations regarding his 80,000 Mark donation: The hospital should be named for his late wife Betty, who died in 1837; and a Personal lectern should be designated for him in the in-house synagogue.[3]
