history
→ for the prehistory see Winnental Castle
The clinic has been treating the mentally ill since it opened on March 1, 1834, making it the oldest sanatorium in Württemberg . Initially 100 beds were available, by 1840 the number of employees rose to 37. Winnenthal Castle was chosen because of its convenient and climatically healthy location and converted into a sanatorium for the mentally ill. In contrast to most of the facilities at the time, the task of the new clinic was primarily to heal the mentally ill, not just to keep them safe. The institution was built according to the plans of the physician and chief medical officer Karl Heinrich Gotthilf von Köstlin , the first medical director was Albert Zeller . With his then remarkably progressive way of thinking that the mentally ill should also have a right to care, nursing and compassion, he acted as an early advocate of medically based psychiatry and had a lasting impact on the development of this specialty in Germany . He attached great importance to somatic treatment, which is why physical concomitants and ailments were carefully treated. This goes back to his holistic approach that body and soul belong together. In addition, he already relied on occupational, sports and occupational therapy. Zeller managed the institution until his death in 1877.
Zeller's eldest son Ernst then took over the management and ran the clinic, renamed “Königliche Heil- und Pflegeeanstalt Winnenthal” in 1875, from 1878 to 1900. The renaming of the facility was in stark contrast to Albert Zeller's idea of separating treatment and care cases. The house now took in both curable and terminally ill patients, but this already led to the bed capacity being exhausted after a short time. By 1930 this had been increased to 600 beds. The number of employees at this time was 159, including 6 doctors and 86 nurses. Their poor working conditions were improved by social law reforms in 1895 in order to curb the high staff turnover and the shortage of female nursing staff.
In 1902 an agricultural colony with livestock was opened in the clinic, which enabled almost complete self-sufficiency for many years.
The First World War also had serious consequences for the institution. Many male employees were called up for military service, which meant that the already overcrowded facility had to deal with severe staff shortages. In addition, the death rate among the patients increased dramatically due to the lack of food. During this time Ernst August Wagner , one of the most famous psychiatric patients in Europe, was admitted to the Winnenden Clinic. The case of the mass murderer had aroused great public interest.
time of the nationalsocialism
The institution was also hard hit by the influence of the National Socialists. In 1940 it became a so-called intermediate institution for patients from other institutions in Württemberg on their way to the central killing facility at Grafeneck Castle . As part of the “T4” campaign , which was part of the National Socialists' euthanasia program, almost 400 people were transferred to Grafeneck by the “gray buses” operated by the charitable health transport company and murdered there.
The patients remaining in the clinic suffered from problems such as lack of medicine, food and heating material. The accommodation of the Wehrmacht hospital and later the health department of the Interior Ministry from Stuttgart as well as the admission of other people in need of care increased this shortage and also caused a considerable space problem. 416 patients died in 1945, many of them during the cold winter months.
Since 2009 a memorial on the grounds of the clinic has been commemorating the numerous victims of this time.
post war period
From 1961, as part of a decree by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of the Interior, nursing schools were set up at the state psychiatric hospitals of the state of Baden-Württemberg, replacing the previous nursing courses. This contributed to a professionally qualified care of the patients in the house, which was renamed "Psychiatric State Hospital Winnental" since 1953.
Since the hiring of a music therapist in 1965 and the associated introduction of music therapy, this has been an important part of the treatment offers at the Winnenden Castle Clinic. In the same year the hall used for occupational therapy was rebuilt.
The following year, the model test of a day clinic in Baden-Württemberg started in Winnenden.
In 1971 a neurological department started operations, in 1973 the former sanatorium was renamed "Psychiatric State Hospital Winnenden" (PLK).
At the end of 1974 the staff casino was opened at the new farm building and the in-house magazine Der Brunnen was published for the first time. This employee magazine is still published monthly in a modernized format. In January 1983, a hospital pharmacy was opened on the site.
From 1979 onwards, with the beginning of withdrawal treatment and the opening of a new department for addiction therapy, a further range of therapies was added. In 2002 the ZfP Winnenden received permission to operate an institute outpatient clinic (PIA) with a focus on general and geriatric psychiatry as well as addiction therapy.
Well-known patients in Winnenden
The Austrian poet Nikolaus Lenau was admitted to the “Royal Sanatorium Winnenthal” in October 1844 because of rage . During his stay in the sanatorium, he wrote his work “Notebook from Winnenthal”, a typical Sudelbuch , which reflects both his emotional distress and his sudden ideas and thoughts. Lenau was a first-class patient, which gave him privileges such as a single room. One of the most famous psychiatric patients in Europe was Ernst August Wagner . He was born on February 4, 1914 due to paranoia admitted to the hospital Winnenthal after he killed his wife and four children and indiscriminately twelve other people had shot.
