[The urban hospital system in Leipzig at the turn of the century].

The development of the hospital in Germany up to 1914 had been realized by the establishment of medicine of natural science, combined with a sensible progress of diagnostics and therapy. Thus the character of the stationary care changed in Leipzig by 1900. This process had been supported by an organization separating care of patients from those of poor subjects. A reconstruction and improvement of the municipal hospitals could be gained by the erection of the Nursing Home for Mental Cases in Leipzig-Dösen (1901), of the Leipzig Tuberculous Sanatorium Sorg at Adorf (1906) and of the Municipal Hospital St. Georg (1911-1913).
