history

The institution was founded in 1912 by Franciscan nuns as a branch of Heggbach . In 1914 there were 79 children in the facility.

In 1940, as part of the T4 campaign , a total of 72 children, adolescents and young adults were brought to the Grafeneck killing center and murdered there. The transports took place on September 11, October 1 and October 30, 1940. Only three rescued children remained, and there were allegedly no registration forms for eleven children. 35 children from Rosenharz came to them . On February 13 and 14, 1941, these children came to Heggbach for further care. The house was then used as accommodation for the Kinderlandverschickung .

On August 8, 1945, 50 children were brought from Heggbach to Ingerkingen.

In 2016 the plans for new buildings were presented.
