Hanover Jewish Hospital (with nursing home and nursing school)

The clinic was built in 1901 by the Israelitischer Verein für Altersfürsorge und Krankenpflege on the corner plot Ellernstraße/Vereinstraße in the Zooviertel district of Hanover. The architect was Carl Arend. The association operated the hospital with an attached nursing school, old people's home and house for the dead - also for Christian patients - until 1939. The clinic specialized in surgery, internal medicine and gynecology. Initially, the clinic had 27 beds, later at least 60 beds. In 1941/42, the National Socialists established one of several so-called Jewish homes here. Jews were forcibly confined to these ghetto houses until they were deported to the extermination camps. The land with the property was acquired by the city of Hanover (forced sale without consideration). From 1943, the facility served first as a women's clinic, and after the war until 1999 as an ear, nose and throat clinic. The building complex of the clinic destroyed in the Shoah was renovated from 2006 and is now a listed building.
