history
The canton of Thurgau opened the Münsterlingen asylum for the insane in 1840.
From the monastery to the canton hospital
People in need were helped in the former Benedictine monastery (founded in 986). This church was called Monasteriolum, later Münsterlingen. A short time earlier, when the hospital for the sick and poor was relocated from the city of Constance, an Augustinian monastery was founded in Kreuzlingen . In the period from 986 to 1000, religious sisters were moved from the Augustinian monastery to the Monasteriolum for nursing and remained subject to the Augustinian rule .
Since then, the sick have been cared for and looked after in Münsterlingen, so that the monastery can look back on a 1000-year tradition of medical nursing.
Under the leadership of the Bishop of Konstanz late 11th century became a hospice in the monastery Munsterlingen laid. Today's baroque monastery complex dates from the 18th century and was completely rebuilt at that time and completed in 1716. The convent at that time was too small for a charitable task in the newly built, enlarged building. In addition, economic difficulties arose after the French Revolution . From 1839–1840, the canton of Thurgau built a combined clinic for the sick and the mentally ill in Münsterlingen due to the rapid medical development. The Münsterlingen Cantonal Hospital was founded and managed by an educated middle class. The cantonal hospital was opened on June 15, 1840, the insane asylum in 1839. In 1848, the Catholic monastery in the Reformed canton was dissolved.
Development of the canton hospital
On the day the Münsterlingen Cantonal Hospital opened in 1840, 8 patients were cared for on site. At the end of the 19th century, an X-ray cabinet and a new operating wing were installed, transforming the hospital from a supply house into a surgical clinic. In 1963, the extension of the hospital buildings was accepted by the Thurgau people through a hospital bill. Then in 1972 the hospital was expanded with a large new building. The in-house orthopedics was built in 1997. The hospital has been continuously modernized in recent years. Today, the Münsterlingen Cantonal Hospital forms the Münsterlingen Hospital Campus together with five other companies.
