Episode description
In our fourth episode, Ludwig Pelzl takes us to early eighteenth-century Germany, where he explores the politics of running a retirement home through an epidemic. Hit by the plague outbreak of 1713, St. Catherine’s hospital in Regensburg lost roughly half of its retirees. How did the officials of St. Catherine’s hospital deal with this catastrophe? What lessons were learned? How did they, if at all, modify their business model? Find out in today’s episode!
