The Günzburg District Hospital is a hospital with a focus on psychiatry and neurology in the large district town of Günzburg . The Schwaben district clinics are responsible for the support .
history
The house was founded in 1915 with initially 12 patients as a sanatorium and nursing home in Günzburg . In 1923 the house was recognized as a nursing school.
During the National Socialist era , the hospital was the scene of the medical implementation of Nazi racial hygiene . At least 366 men and women were forcibly sterilized by the doctor Wilhelm Schlaegel and other doctors from 1934 onwards . In September 1939, the first patients were transferred from other nursing homes to Günzburg in order to be transferred from there to killing centers as part of “ Aktion T4 ”. Most of 394 patients known by name were brought from Günzburg to the Grafeneck killing center , where they were murdered. Apart from this scheduled murder, between spring 1941 and the end of 1943 at least 45 patients in Günzburg were killed by injection, neglect or starvation. In other patients there is at least the suspicion that they were deliberately killed in Günzburg. The acts were not atoned for after the end of the Nazi regime.
In 1976 the house was renamed from Nervenkrankenhaus to “District Hospital - Specialist Hospital for Psychiatry, Neurology and Neurosurgery - Academic Hospital for Ulm University”.
