history

The clinic was founded in 1877 by the then 22-year-old Carl von Ehrenwall, who spent his school days in Ahrweiler and Neuss and studied in Würzburg . From 1880 onwards, he assumed sole economic and medical responsibility for the clinic and expanded the clinic, as was possible in the economic situation at the time. Carl von Ehrenwall set up art and occupational therapy , sports and exercise therapy , and terrain therapy in his clinic using the scenic location. He set up his own electrical supply to enable electrically operated therapy methods and his own farm, which supplied the clinic with specially grown products.

In 1882, the main building of the clinic was built according to a design by the Faensen town council from Düren , and in 1886–88 and 1892–94 it was expanded according to plans by the same architect. From 1894 onwards, the Cologne architecture firm Schreiterer & Below was repeatedly entrusted with construction tasks for the clinic: the new building of a bathing and social building (1894/95) and a farm building (1895-97; demolished), the extension of the machine house (1897; demolished in 1971) , the new building of the house for restless sick people ("Villa Griesinger"; 1896/97; destroyed in the war) and the "Villa Maria" as upscale accommodation for patients including an apartment for Ehrenwall (1903/04) and finally the so-called "Kurmittelhaus" ( 1905/06). The architect Oskar Schütz designed the “Villa Sophia” (1902) and a 10 meter wide and 20 meter long swimming pool and tub for the clinic.

Around 1880 there were three types of mental hospitals in Western and Central Europe: closed, open, and mixed. Many of the private psychiatric institutions established around this time were open institutions and were previously operated as hydropathic institutions . Closed institutions required higher investments and operating costs and were accordingly rare among private clinics. The most famous and largest private mental hospitals of that time - the Dr. Erlenmeyersche Anstalt in Bendorf , the Dr. von Ehrenwall'sche Kuranstalt in Ahrweiler and the clinics of Heinrich Obersteiner and Wilhelm Svetlin , both in Vienna - operated both an open and a closed department. At the beginning of the 20th century the care ratio in the Ehrenwall'schen Klinik was one doctor for about 15 to 20 patients and one attendant for a maximum of two patients. With this high level of care , the Ehrenwall'sche Klinik among the mental hospitals in Württemberg and the neighboring German-speaking Switzerland could only be compared with the likewise private Bellevue sanatorium , where, like in Ahrweiler, the "comfortably furnished" rooms were mostly furnished and used as single occupants.

The founder and head of the Institute, Carl von Honor Wall, died in 1935. His only son Joseph was in the First World War fallen. The inheritance fell to his youngest daughter Sophie von Ehrenwall, married Marx, who continued the house together with her husband Emil Marx. Emil Marx, who had a doctorate and was trained by Max Nonne in Hamburg and Martin Reichardt , had been working as a senior physician at the Ehrenwall clinic since 1920 , and took over the management of the clinic from the late 1920s. In the Second World War (as in the First ) the clinic served as a partial hospital for soldiers with nervous disorders, most recently with 120 beds. In the winter of 1944/45, the clinic was bombed several times in an air raid , killing 18 people, including patients, nurses and carers. The house for the seriously ill was completely destroyed, and the swimming pool and farmhouse were also hit. The Americans continued to use the clinic as a hospital from March to July 1945, after which the French occupation troops .

In 1964 the third generation took over the clinic: Otto Smolenski (1918–2009), married to Marianne Smolenski, b. Marx took over the medical management. He was trained with Hans Walter Gruhle in Bonn and with Ernst Kretschmer in Tübingen. After the death of his mother-in-law Sophie Marx, he and his wife also took over the economic management in 1967. The building, which was destroyed in 1945, could only be rebuilt in the 1970s. In 1913, patients were treated for the first time with a rehabilitation procedure after the management signed a contract with what was then the Reichsversicherungsanstalt for salaried employees . The clinic has been open to legally insured patients since 1972, after the clinic was included in the state hospital plan of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate . Christoph Smolenski, son of Otto and Marianne Smolenski, joined the clinic with his wife Susanna Smolenski in 1983 and took over the management of the family business in the fourth generation in the 1990s. Both were trained at the Neurological University Clinic in Bern with Marco Mummenthaler and at the psychiatric clinic in Cologne and the rehabilitation center of the University Clinic in Cologne with Uwe H. Peters and KA Jochheim.

In order to meet the medical requirements, the old ward building was rebuilt and a day clinic ( Haus Mühle ) was built. In 2002 the clinic employed around 40 doctors, psychologists, social and occupational therapists, and almost 80 nursing staff. In 2008 the clinic employed 286 people and is therefore one of the largest employers in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler. The specialization in the areas of psychotherapy and trauma therapy have made the clinic a recognized specialist hospital in the Federal Republic of Germany . In 2007 the clinic successfully completed a KTQ certification process .
