The history of our hospital began about 120 years ago with an initial building on the monastery grounds of the Order of the Brothers of Mercy in Trier. Today, around 2,600 employees work at the Brothers' Hospital. The Brothers of Mercy Hospital Trier is a teaching hospital of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and is one of the largest hospitals in Rhineland-Palatinate.
