Hospital of the Five Wounds, Hildesheim
The Hospital of the Five Wounds is a half-timbered house in the city of Hildesheim in Lower Saxony, Germany. It is in the southern part of the old city center, opposite St. Godehard and behind St. Nicolai's Chapel.
== History ==
In 1770, a large half-timbered house was built in Hildesheim to house two different hospitals which had already been founded several centuries before. The ground floor was given to the ''Hospital zu den Fünf Wunden (Hospital of the Five Wounds)'' and the upper floors to the ''Hospital Sankt Nicolai (Hospital St. Nicolai)''. Later, both hospitals were united to form the ''Vereinigte Hospitäler (United Hospitals)''. The building, however, kept the name ''Hospital zu den Fünf Wunden''.〔Anke Twachtmann-Schlichter: ''Baudenkmale in Niedersachsen'', p. 155. Hameln
2007.〕 The name derives from devotion to the holy wounds inflicted on Jesus during the crucifixion, a pious practice traditionally associated with works of mercy and social justice (in reformation England the ''Pilgrimage of Grace'' was undertaken by Catholics protesting their loss of charitable institutions and religious freedoms, under a similar patronage). From the 19th century on, the building was used by a nearby Catholic hospital which still exists today.
During World War II, the Hospital of the Five Wounds was only slightly damaged by bombs on 22 February 1945 and on 22 March 1945,〔Hermann Seeland: ''Zerstörung und Untergang Alt-Hildesheims'', p. 10. Hildesheim 1947.〕 and the damage could be repaired very soon. The building was renovated in 1981. Today it is used as a training college for nurses.
