St. Hedwig hospital

St. Hedwig Hospital is a hospital and cultural heritage monument in Berlin's Mitte district located on Große Hamburger Straße. The facility features specialized departments for blood cancers and other malignant diseases, as well as a palliative care unit for seriously ill patients.

The hospital was founded in 1846 as Berlin's first Catholic clinic, born from the desire to serve sick people through Christian faith. It suffered severe damage during World War II but was rebuilt afterward and has continued serving healthcare needs ever since.

The hospital is named after a saint and reflects Berlin's Catholic heritage from the 19th century onward. Visitors can experience how faith and medical care have been intertwined at this location throughout the city's history.

The hospital is centrally located in Mitte district and easily accessible by public transportation. Patients and visitors will find specialized treatment options and should check current visiting hours and regulations before arrival.

The urology department recently adopted an innovative laser technology using special glasses for surgical procedures. This modern approach improves surgical precision and shows how the institution embraces advanced medical tools.
