Emil Sioli
Emil Sioli (born July 29, 1852 at Gut Lieskau near Halle an der Saale ; † June 16, 1922 in Friedrichsdorf im Taunus ) was a German psychiatrist and director of the institution for the insane and epileptic in Frankfurt am Main .
Life
In 1888 Sioli took over the management from Heinrich Hoffmann , who had made a name for himself not only as a psychiatrist but also as the author of the children's book Struwwelpeter .
Sioli reduced coercive measures within the institution ( no restraint ). In the 1890s, Emil Sioli's best-known employees in the Frankfurt “Institute for the Insane and Epileptic” were the two neurologists and neuropathologists Alois Alzheimer and Franz Nissl .
On April 1, 1901, Sioli founded the Köppern Forest Hospital in today's Friedrichsdorf as an “agricole Colonie”, where “ alcoholists ” and “nervous patients” could be treated. As a central therapeutic element, the psychiatrist established the occupation of the patients in agriculture in a natural environment. The clinic, then called “Anstalt Hüttenmühle”, experienced a steady increase in beds up to 130 beds in 1913. Today, the Köppern Forest Hospital is an operating facility of Vitos Hochtaunus with a supply contract for the Hochtaunus district .
Emil Sioli's son Franz Sioli also became a psychiatrist.
Commemoration
A street on the university campus in Frankfurt's Westend district is named after Sioli . It ends immediately to the west of the former location of the institution popularly known in Frankfurt as the “ Irrenschloss ”, today the location of the IG Farben building . In Friedrichsdorf-Köppern, the postal address of the Köppern Forest Hospital, the “Emil-Sioli-Weg”, commemorates the psychiatrist and founding father of the clinic.
