history
Until the 1970s, child and adolescent psychiatric care in Germany was largely limited to a few centers, primarily at university hospitals. In the greater Dortmund area, the St. Johannes Stift was responsible for child and adolescent psychiatry in Marsberg . During the planning phase for a child and adolescent psychiatric department in Dortmund, the Christian Social Welfare Office took over the Elisabeth children's hospital, which was about to close, and applied for it to be transferred to a child and adolescent psychiatry. First a day clinic with five treatment places was set up, the new clinic was then opened on January 1, 1979 in the Villa Elisabeth. In 1998 the day clinic moved to the current premises in the Dortmund Children's Clinic and the clinic took over the mandatory child and adolescent psychiatric care for the city of Dortmund. Despite the relocation of the day clinic, the limited space required an expansion of the premises. Construction began in 2001, and in 2002 we moved into the new rooms on Marsbruchstrasse.
