history
The clinic was founded in 1764 by Friedrich Engelken (1744–1815). Engelken was the son of a Brinkitzer from Rockwinkel , who went to sea a. a. went to East India and got to know the effects of opium there. In 1758 he returned. After his service as a soldier, he trained with a surgeon from 1761 and treated mentally ill patients from 1764. In 1770 he inherited his father's farm in Rockwinkel and has since operated his clinic here. He specialized in treating mental illness. In 1810 the son Heinrich Engelken took over the institution. The clinic remained family-owned for three generations and used various therapies.
In 1910, the physician Walter Benning (1880–1962) bought the building and ran the sanatorium for the mentally and mentally ill , which he renovated and expanded. During the time of National Socialism , around 120 people had to be sterilized in this sanatorium on the basis of the 1934 Law for the Prevention of Hereditary Diseases . Various long-term patients were also affected by the euthanasia ; Old files discovered are evaluated by the Bremen State Archives .
Benning leased the clinic in 1954 and sold it in 1964 to Karl-Dieter Heines (July 5, 1920 to April 13, 2012), who ran the clinic from 1954 to 1991. As medical director, Heines developed a modern therapy center. He sold the center to the Christian Social Welfare Organization in 1992 and founded the Dr. Heines to care for the elderly. Heines remained active in the clinic until 1998, and was succeeded by Klaus Brücher (* 1949) as Medical Director. Uwe Gonther has been Medical Director since 2014 .
The clinic was bought in 2003 by Ameos Holding AG , founded in 2002 . The management includes the hospital director Ruth von Basum and the nursing director Nadine Slump.
The Vera Stein case
According to the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights , Vera Stein was in a closed department of the Dr. Heines housed against their will and without a judicial order . She was accommodated at her father's request. Their appeals were rejected by the judiciary. The Federal Republic of Germany was therefore sentenced in 2005 by the European Court of Justice to 75,000 euros in damages.
