The clinic was founded in 1960 as a sanatorium for tuberculosis sufferers.

In 1985 it became the Center for Pneumology, Thoracic and Vascular Surgery. Between 1996 and 2004 the building was extensively renovated in three construction phases.
In 1998 the clinic was converted into a GmbH , the sole shareholder was the State Welfare Association Württemberg-Hohenzollern , a corporation under public law with its seat in Stuttgart.
