Hospital help, please

Hi:

I'm going to end in the crazy house over these records.

Both records are for the same person. At 18 she ended up in a hospital and died.

The baptism record with the added burial date notes she died in a hospital. Could that be an abbreviated verson of academic or as we call it a teaching hospital? On the burial record it also lists she died in a hospital. It uses a different word.

Context: 1892 Neuenheim, Germany

Can anyone help me, please?

Thank you!

Hello Martha,

in the baptism record it is quite clearly Akad. for Akademisch, i.e. university hospital.

Knowing this I can now also read the word in the death record as akadem.
