Krankenhaus der Barmherzigen Brü­­der Trier: For the sake of brotherly love – committed to people

The Krankenhaus der Barmherzigen Brü­­­­der Trier (a Brothers of Mercy hospital) is one of five emergency med­­i­­cal centres in Rhineland-Palatinate and is one of the largest hospitals in this re­­gion. As a ter­­tiary care hos­pi­tal for the entire Trier region, it is currently equipped with 612 beds, 15 specialist med­­ical departments with ultra-modern scientific and techno­­log­ical standards as well as specialists for rare diseases. Medi­­cine, nursing and ther­­apy are closely connected and coordinated in the specialist medical de­­partments and the centres of the hos­­pital. A high standard of qual­­ity and per­­so­­nal devotion are our ultimate am­­bition. The range of services rendered in the special­­ist me­­dical de­­part­­ments covers almost all scopes of med­ical, diagnostic and thera­­­­­peutic re­­quire­­­­­ments. At medical competence cen­­tres, the patient re­­ceives com­­prehensive care centrally and benefits from the inter­­dis­­ciplinary collaboration of the different spe­­cialist departments.

The hospital is an establishment of the Barmherzige Brüder Trier e.V., an as­­so­­­­­­­­ciation of hospitals, specialised clinics as well as inpatient and nursing fa­­cil­­i­­ties. Since its foundation in 1850 by the blessed brother Peter Friedhofen, the Brothers of Mercy of Our Lady of Per­­petual Help practice their Christian duties of brother­ly love in the different establishments of the congregation.
