history
The construction of the Provincial Sanatorium and Nursing Institution Gütersloh began in 1911 and was completed in 1914. When the First World War broke out , the area with its around 40 buildings was initially used as a prison camp for officers. The first psychiatric patients were treated there from 1919. Hermann Simon was appointed Medical Director in 1914 , and he implemented the “work therapy” model in Gütersloh. This envisaged the involvement of the patients in the agricultural, horticultural and manual tasks of everyday hospital life and became groundbreaking for the treatment of psychiatric patients in Germany.
During the time of National Socialism , from 1936 onwards, care for the mentally ill and the mentally handicapped was oriented towards National Socialist racial hygiene . Between 1940 and 1943, 1,017 patients were classified as “completely unable to work and community” and were deported to killing centers. A memorial for the victims was inaugurated in 2014.
Numerous buildings, parks and gardens were entered in the list of architectural monuments in Gütersloh in 1992 under the monument number A 196 .
Facilities
In addition to inpatient services, the clinic also offers outpatient treatments. In addition to the clinic at Buxelstrasse 50, the clinic also includes four day clinics and three institute outpatient departments . The day clinics in Gütersloh and Halle (Westphalia) are general psychiatric institutions. The other two day clinics in Gütersloh specialize in geriatric psychiatry and addiction medicine. The institute's outpatient departments are located on the clinic premises.
The hospital also includes the LWL-Wohnverbund Gütersloh with 30 inpatient living spaces and outpatient forms of care and the LWL care center Gütersloh with 28 inpatient home places, 4 inpatient short-term care places, 14 day care places and the outpatient services.
In May 2012, the Gütersloh Center for Geriatric Medicine (ZAM), which is connected to the clinic, was opened with 90 beds and 12 day clinic places. Neurology, internal medicine / geriatrics and geriatric psychiatry are housed there.
The LWL Rehabilitation Center in East Westphalia for addicts (Bernhard Salzmann Clinic) and the LWL Institute for Rehabilitation for the Mentally Ill (Hans Peter Kitzig Institute) also belong to the LWL Clinic in Gütersloh.
