Hessing Kliniken, Hospital and architectural heritage monument in Augsburg, Germany.
Hessing Kliniken is a hospital and architectural monument in Augsburg's Göggingen district consisting of multiple buildings dedicated to orthopedic care. The complex includes eight specialized orthopedic departments, two rehabilitation clinics, and the preserved Kurhaus Theater from 1886.
Friedrich von Hessing founded the facility in 1868 as a specialized orthopedic clinic. The complex expanded over time while most of its original late 19th-century buildings have remained intact and are now protected as monuments.
The preserved Kurhaus Theater from 1886 is part of the complex and reflects how late 19th-century medical facilities included spaces for patient recreation and cultural events. Visitors can see how the theater integrated wellness into the overall care experience of that era.
The complex is accessible to patients and visitors with parking available on the grounds. Since multiple buildings serve different departments, it is helpful to know which section you need before arriving to navigate the site more easily.
The St. Johannes Church on the grounds was built between 1890 and 1893 with neo-baroque design and stands under monument protection. This chapel was an intentional part of patient care, offering spiritual support alongside medical treatment.
