In spring 1946, a UNRRA hospital for people of all origins persecuted by the Nazis was opened in the Max-Josef-Stift Gymnasium in the Munich district of Bogenhausen, which had served as a military hospital during the war. It was not until April 1949, under the direction of the head physician Dr. Moses Osterweil, that the hospital focused exclusively on medical care for Jewish survivors.

This medical facility for outpatients was founded in 1946 to relieve the UNRRA hospital. It was open to patients of Jewish origin from Munich and the surrounding area. The building also housed a counseling center for pregnant women and for infants. Later on, DPs could also be vaccinated there against a variety of infectious diseases in preparation for their emigration.
