history

In 1866 the "Herzoglich-Sachsen-Meiningische Landesirren-, Heil- und Pflegeanstalt" with around 100 beds was opened on the current premises of the specialist clinic. From this point in time up to the First World War, the constant purchase and construction of new clinic buildings followed in the immediate vicinity and thus an expansion to over 800 beds.

Period of National Socialism and the Second World War

From 1936 to 1945 the racial hygienist and SS leader Johannes Schottky was the director of the Hildburghausen State Hospital . Around 1,500 sick people were housed in the Hildburghausen state sanatorium and nursing home. They were mostly schizophrenics , occasionally also epileptics and so-called morons . In the course of the use of hospitals for purposes important to the war effort, partial evacuation took place from 1940. 250 (or 220) beds were made available (as a hospital) for English prisoners of war, and in 1944 another 200 beds. According to research by Michael Kühne, Superintendent in Hildburghausen, between 1939 and 1944 up to 750 patients were removed from the sanatorium. Some of the patients were taken directly to the Pirna-Sonnenstein killing center and murdered there as part of the T4 campaign .

On February 6, 1945, a five-hundredweight bomb of American origin detonated in the park of the clinic; there was corresponding property damage. During the US air raid on Hildburghausen on February 23, 1945, the clinic was seriously affected. The west wing of the main building, the "Herrenvilla", the section building, the bowling alley and the "old economy" (agriculture) were completely destroyed, the intermediate wing of the main building and the other buildings damaged.

post war period

After the Second World War and until 1990, various clinics were specialized and child and adolescent psychiatry was established. At that time the clinic was the district neurological clinic of the Suhl district.

From 1990 onwards, the district nerve clinic was renamed the "State Hospital of the State of Thuringia". Between 1994 and 1996 the new building for the adult psychiatry department and the associated functional areas took place.

In 2002 the house was included in the Rhön-Klinikum AG group and the name was changed to "Specialist Hospital for Psychiatry and Neurology Hildburghausen". In 2004, the ward for neurology, child and adolescent psychiatry, the day clinic as well as the psychiatric outpatient department and the ward for adult psychiatry and radiology in the new main building were completed. Between 2004 and 2012, day clinics with psychiatric institute outpatient clinics for adult psychiatry were opened in Hildburghausen, Suhl, Ilmenau, Sonneberg and Meinigen (here also institute outpatient clinic for psychiatry and psychotherapy for child and adolescent psychiatry).

The Forensics Clinic has also existed in the specialist hospital since 2006 .

In the same year, the stroke unit was also certified as a “regional stroke unit with 6 beds” according to the criteria of the German Stroke Society and the German Stroke Foundation.

In 2014 there was a change in shareholders to the Helios Kliniken Group. Since June 20, 2014 the specialist clinic has been called "Helios Fachkliniken Hildburghausen".
