Lung Clinic Hemer

The Hemer Lung Clinic is a specialist hospital for lung diseases with departments of pneumology, thoracic surgery, radiology, radiation therapy, and anesthesiology. Since 1996, a tumor biology research institute has also been part of the Lung Clinic.

The building of today’s Lung Clinic was constructed as a government hospital and was inaugurated in 1908. Towards the end of the 1930s, the Wehrmacht established the hospital as a garrison hospital; after mobilization, it was converted into a reserve hospital. Bombing attacks by the Allies damaged the building. The German Community Diaconate Association sent Hans Meyer and some deaconesses from the mother house Bleibergquelle to Hemer for reconstruction. Meyer served as the clinic’s administrative chief for 34 years.
