Friederikenstift

Friederikenstift is a hospital in Hannover's Mitte district with neogothic architectural features and various medical departments serving patients. The building combines its original structure with contemporary healthcare facilities.

The hospital was founded in 1843 when Christian women established a care association and received an estate from the king to expand their mission. This beginning led to an institution that has served patients for nearly two centuries.

The name reflects the founders' Christian mission to care for the poor and sick, a purpose that remains visible in how the facility operates today. Walking through the halls, you notice how medical care is paired with attention to human dignity.

The facility is accessible by car with an on-site garage and also reachable by public transport from nearby Goetheplatz station. Visitors should check in at the main entrance on Humboldtstraße for orientation.

The entrance facade features distinctive ceramic decorations and sculptural figures that catch the eye when you look closely at the details. Few visitors notice these ornamental elements, though they add character to the building's exterior.
