Heilgeisthospital, Medieval hospital complex in Stralsund, Germany

The Heilgeisthospital spans multiple buildings along Am Langenwall street, featuring a church corridor adorned with galleries and the Elendenhaus structure from 1641.

First documented in 1256 as Hospital St. Spiritus, the institution moved to its current location in the 1320s and underwent several reconstructions after military conflicts.

The hospital served as the largest charitable establishment in Stralsund, providing care and accommodation to both local residents and travelers in need of assistance.

The complex includes residential units that were historically obtained through financial contributions, allowing elderly citizens to secure living spaces within the facility.

The hospital acquired extensive properties throughout centuries, including entire islands such as Ummanz and Hiddensee, along with multiple villages in the surrounding region.
