history

Together with Wiblingwerde , Hellersen represented an imperial estate in the Middle Ages . One of the oldest written mentions dates from 1477, when Hellerdesen was mentioned. However, it is likely to be a much older settlement , possibly going back to the Old Saxon land grabbing in the early Middle Ages. It was outside the Lüdenscheid field mark, which had existed since the city was founded, and belonged to the surrounding parish with separate parish offices. Essentially from the parish area, the municipality Lüdenscheid-Land , Amt Lüdenscheid , was formed in 1843 , to which Hellersen belonged from then on. In 1969 it was incorporated into the city.

Infrastructure

General infrastructure

With the completion of the new clinic in 1986, the Paulmannshöher Straße, which previously ran in a straight line east-west, was relocated to the north around the hospital grounds, giving the village of Hellersen a previously unseen peripheral location. The Lüdenscheid customs office and a Catholic kindergarten are located north of the old location with a village restaurant that is still managed and has been expanded to become a hotel . The public facilities of the hospitals are also used by the population. This was especially true for the indoor pool at the sports clinic until it was closed a few years ago. Organizationally, Hellersen belongs to the parish of the “Ev. Apostelkirche Bierbaum ”, which bears the official name“ Hellersen-Loh ”.

At Paulmannshöher Straße 14, in building 4 of the Lüdenscheid Clinic, there is the municipal special needs school Michael-Ende-Schule . The school is an educational facility for sick children and adolescents.

In house 7 of the Lüdenscheid Clinic there is also the school for nursing professions of the Märkische Kliniken GmbH.

In addition, the Lüdenscheid school location of the specialist seminar for elderly care of the Märkische Seniorenzentren GmbH exists on the clinic premises. In addition to the Iserlohn school location, this is the second location of the specialist seminar for geriatric care.

A new outpatient dialysis center was also built at Paulmannshöher Strasse 14 by August 2014. It was built at the entrance to the Lüdenscheid emergency room. There are 38 dialysis places available on 1,560 square meters, twelve more than at the previous location on Hohfuhrstrasse. In order to meet the needs of patients, the Lüdenscheid Clinic invested a total of 3.55 million euros in the new building. The topping-out ceremony for the new building took place in October 2013.

Clinics and sanatoriums

Today there are three different facilities in Hellersen.

House Hellersen

On August 1, 1898, some distance east of the village, the “People's Health Center of the Altena District for Lung Sick People” was opened. a. on the initiative of Carl Berg and Gustav Selve . It was the first such sanatorium in the province of Westphalia . The Swiss sanatorium-style buildings were built in a scenic and secluded location above the Bremecke valley. The institutions that Thomas Mann described in his novel The Magic Mountain were clearly the model . On May 5, 1915, the Landesversicherungsanstalt (LVA) Westphalia took over the sanatorium, again as the first of its kind. Since 1973 there has been a private sanatorium for the mentally ill, Haus Hellersen , in the preserved buildings .

Lüdenscheid Clinic

The Lüdenscheid Clinic has 979 beds and is the largest hospital in South Westphalia . As an academic teaching facility at the University of Bonn , it offers maximum care . It emerged in 1970 from a merger of the municipal hospital on Philippstrasse and the district hospital established in the Hellersen barracks in 1946. During the Second World War the barracks had already functioned as a military hospital . From 1986, the clinic temporarily only used the new building opened in Hellersen that year. Contrary to the original plans, the old buildings of the district hospital were, however, taken into use again after they had been vacant for a while when demand increased. The integrated children's clinic, which was previously housed in its own building at Hohfuhrstrasse 25, has 74 beds.

Hellersen Sports Clinic

In 1966 a specialist clinic for orthopedics and sports medicine was also established on Paulmannshöher Strasse with the Hellersen Sports Clinic , which is sponsored by Sporthilfe NRW eV. Not least because of the large number of top athletes treated here, it is well known beyond the region. In addition to the highly specialized orthopedic focuses, the range of services also includes specialist areas such as endoprosthetics and pain therapy . Walter Schlempp designed the first building complex, which was later expanded. With a sports casino, a restaurant, mini golf course, green areas and, last but not least, an indoor swimming pool, an atmosphere that was attractive for the time was created. At the end of September 2013 it was announced that the sports clinic intends to enlarge its building considerably in the near future. The building applications for the renovation had already been submitted.

Settlement structure

Village center Alt-Hellersen (2009)

The old core of the village of Hellersen has suffered due to the demolition of a courtyard building that characterizes the townscape and the inclusion of new buildings that were unsuitable in terms of design, but is still recognizable. The old trees, some of which are several hundred years old, are remarkable on the western edge of the village and on the adjacent premises of the Lüdenscheid Clinic. Until the 1930s, the village was embedded in an undisturbed, richly structured cultural landscape . By 1937, a barracks for the Reichswehr was built on Paulmannshöher Strasse to the west , and in 1946 it was converted into the district hospital of the Altena district . Beginning with the construction of a high-rise for a nurses' home in 1957, the clinic premises were expanded, culminating in 1986 when the large new clinic was opened. At the end of the 1960s, the Hellersen Sports Clinic was also built directly to the west of the old district hospital . A first housing estate was developed west of the old village around Paracelsusstraße as early as the 1960s. Since the 1970s, the entire area north of Hellersen up to the old location Kalve has been built with industrial and commercial enterprises. The new housing estate Hellersen-Süd, with some upscale single-family houses, was built in the late 1980s / early 1990s. The old village has now grown together with the core town of Lüdenscheid and is completely surrounded by new development areas.
