The hospital was built in 1339 together with a church as a so-called infirmary, which, like in all medieval towns, was dedicated to the Holy Spirit. It was a private foundation sponsored by the city, which was looked after by the Franciscans.

According to legend, around the year 1340, Till Eulenspiegel pulled off a coup in Nuremberg's Holy Spirit Hospital.
The story goes like this: Eulenspiegel put up a large poster advertising: "Miracle doctor in town". This was of course a trick on the part of the rogue, after all he had to earn money. Nuremberg's hospital was full of sick people. The director calculated how much he could save if the miracle doctor healed everyone. He offered Eulenspiegel 200 thalers for this, a small fortune at the time. Till had all the sick people come together and asked everyone else to leave the room because he needed peace and quiet for his healing. When he was alone with the sick people, he said: "Whoever is the sickest of all must sacrifice themselves for the others. I will make a powder from them that I will give to the others to help them recover. The sickest is the one who leaves this room last." The sick people then took their crutches and walking aids and ran out of the room. Even those who hadn't left their beds for years suddenly seemed to be in perfect health.
The director was delighted and gave Till Eulenspiegel the 200 thalers. He left town immediately. It was better that way, because three days later the hospital was fuller than ever before. After speaking to those who had fallen ill again, the director quickly realized that he too had fallen for Till Eulenspiegel.
