Katharinenhospital Esslingen, Cultural heritage monument and historical hospital in Esslingen am Neckar, Germany
The Katharinenhospital integrates medical facilities within a historical structure that exemplifies regional architectural traditions of Baden-Württemberg.
Founded in 1232 and initially dedicated to Saint Catherine, the hospital relocated to Esslingen's market square in the 13th century.
The institution operated under Augustinian rules from 1247, providing medical care and shelter to pilgrims, children, and persons in need.
The hospital complex expanded in 1268 with an additional wing for leprosy patients, located at the eastern edge of the city.
Records indicate that during the 15th century, this medical facility served approximately 5-6 percent of Esslingen's population of 5000-6000 inhabitants.
