Carl Ferdinand Suadicani (born December 17, 1753 in Preetz , † February 22, 1824 in Schleswig ) was one of the most important doctors of his time in Schleswig-Holstein .

As a doctor in Glückstadt and a physician in Segeberg , Suadicani was responsible for the breeding houses and madhouses there. In May 1816, in a report to the Schleswig Higher Court, he described the insane being in the state and thus achieved that in June 1817 the construction of a new insane asylum in Schleswig was decided. This new building was opened in 1820 as one of the first buildings specially built for this purpose in the German-speaking region near Schleswig. The insane asylum was considered one of the most modern of its time in Europe.
The facility was named Daareanstalt ved Slesvig, Prussian Provincial Insane Asylum, Provincial Insane, Sanatorium and Nursing Institution, Provincial Sanatorium and Nursing Institution, State Mental Hospital, State Hospital, Specialist Clinic for Psychiatry, Neurology and Rehabilitation, depending on the national and sovereign affiliation and professional development of the Psychiatry continued. Today it is part of the Helios Clinic Schleswig .
