[edit] History

The first buildings of the Bergmannsheil were erected in 1888 in order to provide medical care for injured miners. Over the decades additional departments and clinics were added, before the Bergmannsheil became a university hospital of the Ruhr University in 1977.

In 2007, the Bergmannsheil was privatized in form of a GmbH.
