KRH Psychiatrie Wunstorf in its social environment
A modern, integrative psychiatric treatment includes continuous reflection on the social task and legal obligation of psychiatry. As the clinic sees itself, this also includes facing one role and responsibility in the context of time. In the past, this particularly affected the National Socialist era , which was the subject of a critical discussion and analysis at the location.
In its more recent history, from 1975 onwards, under the medical direction of Asmus Finzen , the clinic was one of the starting points and essential impetus for the psychiatric reform and social psychiatry , which has significantly shaped the self-image of KRG Psychiatrie Wunstorf to this day. Since 1990, under the leadership of Andreas Spengler, psychiatry has been a specialist focus for the establishment and expansion of institute outpatient clinics in Germany.
Topics such as the application of systemic psychotherapeutic methods in acute psychiatry, intercultural or culturally sensitive psychiatry and the treatment of people with complex psychological disorders (e.g. comorbid addiction and psychosis), as well as suicide research and suicide prevention were advanced here and in many publications methodically described in the professional world. Many of the treatment standards currently in force on these topics were co-developed in the clinic. Based on its socio-psychiatric tradition, the clinic emphasizes the integration of mentally ill people into the community and is working towards this. She is in constant exchange on the development of psychiatry in regional and national social-psychiatric and professional networks.
The KRH Psychiatrie Wunstorf consists of these specialist clinics

history
The long history of KRH Psychiatrie Wunstorf goes back to the founding of a " correctional facility " in 1880 on a former military site on Südstrasse in Wunstorf. In addition to supplying the poor and the military, the "Provincial Correctional Institution in Wunstorf" also housed an "insane department".
The first patients were admitted in 1908, and the correctional facility was converted into a hospital before the First World War . After the First World War, the hospital's premises were converted into a modern nursing home with a central kitchen, workshops and laundries, and accordingly the name changed to the "Wunstorf Provincial Nursing Home" during the Weimar Republic .
In the time of National Socialism , compulsory sterilization was carried out in the "Provinzial Heil- und Pflegeeanstalt Wunstorf" on the basis of the "Law for the Prevention of Hereditary Offspring" from 1934 . From 1939 to 1941, the hospital was the starting point for deportations to the National Socialist killing centers. In 1941 the Wunstorf nursing home was converted into a youth home.
The youth home was closed in 1945 and renamed the “State Sanatorium and Nursing Home” and reopened in July 1945 after the end of World War II. In addition to many new buildings and extensions, the youth psychiatry (KJPP) was opened in 1954 and the "girls' house" was added in 1956.
The history of child and adolescent psychiatry in the post-war years up to the beginning of the 1970s is the subject of a current medical historical review. Reacting to public debates, the Lower Saxony Ministry of Social Affairs commissioned the Institute for the History of Medicine of the Robert Bosch Foundation to review the psychiatric operation from 1949 to 1976.
In the 1970s there were profound reforms and structural changes at the "Lower Saxony State Hospital Wunstorf". Stations were opened, gender boundaries were dismantled, long-term wards closed, personal possession of clothing allowed, visiting rights for relatives introduced and large parts of the site made accessible to the public.
In 2005 KRH Psychiatrie Wunstorf celebrated its 125th anniversary. Since January 2006, the psychiatry has belonged to the Klinikum Region Hannover GmbH, an association of hospitals in the sponsorship of the Hannover Region. In 2013 the operation of the clinic was transferred to a subsidiary, KRH Psychiatrie GmbH.
