Adjacent to this square Roman Boxberger erected in 1906 an impressive monumental building in the style of the German Renaissance. This building was to serve as the new Bamberg women’s clinic and midwifery school. Due to the position of the hospital and the fact that Marcus was the founder of Bamberg’s first gynecological clinic, the new hospital quickly took the nickname of “Marcus House”.

With the opening of the new clinic on the Bruderwald in 1984, the women’s clinic and the municipal hospital were merged, so that the old Marcus House was no longer needed. In 1988, the city finally transferred the Marcus House to the constantly growing University, heralding the latest chapter in its history.
