Accouchierhaus Göttingen, Historical medical building in Göttingen, Germany
The Accouchierhaus Göttingen is a building with early classical architectural features located in Göttingen. Its interior stands out for a grand staircase characterized by multiple curves, spirals, and rounded elements throughout the design.
Built between 1785 and 1791, the structure originally served as a university maternity hospital where medical students received practical training. This institution played an important role in advancing medical education at the time.
The building now houses the University of Göttingen's Musicology Department and holds a collection of over 1000 musical instruments. These instruments are used for research and teaching, offering insight into musical diversity across cultures and time periods.
The building is located at Kurze Geismarstraße 1 at the corner of Hospitalstraße and remains generally open for visitors interested in its architecture. Pay attention to the interior space design when entering to appreciate its distinctive features.
Medical records show that unmarried mothers received free care at this facility in exchange for participating in medical training. This practice reveals both the social circumstances and medical approaches of that era.
