    The Holy Spirit Hospital in Lüneburg has been serving humanity for over 700 years.

    Public health and poor relief systems were unknown in the Middle Ages. People were completely unprotected against life's hardships, such as accidents or illnesses. On the other hand, supporting fellow citizens in need was considered a Christian duty.
