Innovation and Tradition

The history of our hospital starts in 1190 with the “Seekenhuss” which was dedicated to the knight George. With the opening of a new building in 1923, the hospital received its attractive location near the “Alster”, a tributary of the Elbe in Northern Germany. It is the oldest and most traditional hospital in the hanseatic city of Hamburg. In addition, the very first training center of nursing care was established in our building in 1909. The rapid medical progress led to the formation of many new medical departments over the years. Some of them are today counted to the oldest of its kind in the German-speaking area.

Hygiene

One of the most pressing issues in a hospital is hygiene. Every visitor carries germs that can evolve into multi resistant pathogens – a high danger for prone patients. To ensure safety and avoid infections, Asklepios shows how visitors and staff should disinfect their hands and the surroundings of the patients.
