The LVR-Klinik Mönchengladbach is a specialist hospital for psychiatry and psychotherapy with a focus on general psychiatry , addiction medicine and geriatric psychiatry .
The clinic is located in the center of Mönchengladbach / Rheydt in a spacious park area and was opened in 1972 as a model clinic for the development of community-based psychiatric care for the city of Mönchengladbach.

The address of the central clinic premises is Heinrich-Pesch-Str. 39-41 in 41239 Mönchengladbach.

Currently they are Dorothee Enbergs (Chairwoman & Commercial Director), Stephan Rinckens (Medical Director) and Jochen Möller (Nursing Director).
history
In 1969, a day and night clinic was opened as a branch of the Viersen-Süchteln regional hospital in the premises of the former children's clinic of the city of Rheydt (today House H on the central clinic grounds) under the sponsorship of the Rhineland Regional Council. The community psychiatric work for the city of Rheydt developed from this first part of the clinic .
The Psychiatry Enquete Commission , headed by the then psychiatry officer of the regional association and chairman Caspar Kulenkampff , presented the report on the “Situation of Psychiatry in the Federal Republic of Germany”. The commission for psychiatry reform set up by the German Bundestag at the time brought movement into the care system for people with mental illnesses: more outpatient and community-based care, better networking of providers, destigmatization, equality of mentally and somatically ill, normalization of the living and care situation of long-term patients. On the initiative of Mr. Kulenkampff, with the support of the city council, the Rheydter day and night clinic was gradually expanded into a compulsory psychiatric clinic. Since then it has been considered a model clinic for the treatment of mentally ill people. In 1972, expanded operations began and the entire building complex of the former city hospital (today House B on the central clinic premises) was moved into. In January 1973 the facility became independent as a field service - the Rheydt Regional Clinic - of the Rhineland Regional Association and was given responsibility for the comprehensive psychiatric care of the then city of Rheydt with around 100,000 residents.
A few months later, the association for the rehabilitation of the mentally ill (short: RehaVerein) was founded by employees of the Rheydt State Clinic. Initially, the association's task was to acquire donations for help that the clinic could not finance from the care rates. In the course of the regional reform in North Rhine-Westphalia , the city of Rheydt was merged with the city of Mönchengladbach and the clinic was renamed "Landesklinik Mönchengladbach" (today: LVR-Klinik Mönchengladbach). It gradually took over the supply of other districts of the newly divided city of Mönchengladbach. As early as the end of the 1970s, the first assisted living communities and assisted individual living spaces for social rehabilitation outside the clinic were set up: with two social rehabilitation facilities in the Odenkirchen district, the Rheinische Kliniken Mönchengladbach was the first facility in North Rhine-Westphalia to implement the requirement for the deportation of chronically mentally ill people . Care was provided jointly by the clinic's outpatient department and the RehaVerein. In order to meet the contemporary requirements for a rehabilitation area, the clinic management developed the concept of a new building project in close cooperation with the sponsoring administration. The foundation stone was laid in autumn 2002. In 2004, a total of 23 residents moved into the new "Peter-Röhl-Haus" building on Manderscheiderstrasse near the Odenkirchen zoo.
In the following years, extensive renovation and construction work was carried out at the Mönchengladbach location. In November 2005 the new building (House A) could be occupied. The building is recognized and funded as a pilot project for future building in psychiatry. In 2009 the optional service station C1 in house C was completely renovated and opened. The new premises offer a modern and appealing architectural ambience with special room fittings and high-quality services. The historic house H was rebuilt and equipped with modern furnishings. Since the new opening in 2011, there has been a general psychiatric admission ward for patients who stay in the clinic for a longer period of time. To improve the psychiatric treatment offers for the citizens of the city of Mönchengladbach and at the same time to ensure future requirements, it was necessary to plan a day clinic center in the city center of Mönchengladbach-Rheydt. For this purpose, the building of the municipal health department was acquired and completely refurbished in summer 2013 by the Rhineland Regional Council after ten years of vacancy. The day clinic center opened in summer 2015.
The completion of the renovation and construction measures is the core renovation of the historic old building (House B) from 2015 to 2017. This last construction measure and the associated increase in bed capacity is linked to the implementation of the extended supply contract for the entire city of Mönchengladbach. In this context, the clinic has not only taken over 40 beds and 20 day clinic places from the LVR clinic Viersen, but also the day clinic on Regentenstrasse in Mönchengladbach.
The Mönchengladbach Community Psychiatric Association was founded in 2011 with the aim of providing people with mental health problems in Mönchengladbach with needs-based and person-centered treatment and integrating various treatment partners. Founding members were the LVR Clinic Mönchengladbach, the Association for the Rehabilitation of the Mentally Ill eV (RehaVerein), the Intres gGmbH and the Social Psychiatric Service of the City of Mönchengladbach. There are now 21 organizations working together to treat and care for people with mental illnesses.
