history
In 1914 the first clinic building was built on Gut Frönsberg, acquired by AOK Dortmund, as the “Frönspert convalescent home”, primarily for miners. In November 1933 it was confiscated by the NSDAP and renamed “NSBO convalescent home Westphalia-South”. In 1935 ownership was transferred to the German Labor Front , which used it as a recreation area. After the beginning of the Second World War , the building was used as a partial hospital for the Hemer hospital on site. After the war, the AOK got its property back. The buildings were used as a lung sanatorium until around 1962.
On January 1, 1964, the Regional Association of Westphalia-Lippe acquired the Frönspert lung sanatorium with around 137 hectares of land for a price of 3 million German marks. In the summer of the same year, the five-storey building, which had already been built in 1914, was opened as the "Westfälische Landespflegeanstalt Frönsberg". The house was occupied by 120 exclusively male patients. The medical care of the three closed wards was provided by Hundt, the medical director of the Westphalian State Hospital in Dortmund . The LWL planned the expansion of the hospital building as early as autumn 1964. However, this could not be realized in the near future, as there was resistance from the municipality of Frönsberg as the responsible building authority. In 1966 the state nursing home was named "Westfälisches Landeskrankenhaus Frönspert, long-term hospital for psychiatry".
In 1978 the new building of the clinic was opened, the old building was blown up on January 12, 1980 using 1080 kilograms of explosives. In 1988 the clinic was renamed "Hans-Prinzhorn-Klinik" after the doctor and psychiatrist Hans Prinzhorn, who was born in Hemer. Since then, the city of Hagen and parts of the Märkisches and Ennepe-Ruhr districts have been the mandatory care area. At the beginning of the 1990s, cooperation agreements were made with clinics in the former GDR and in Poland , and in 2000 with a Ukrainian specialist clinic. The clinic has 420 beds.
Family council
The family council of the Hans-Prinzhorn-Klinik was founded on February 16, 1989 as a pilot project to improve the representation of the interests of chronically ill patients in the clinic and their relatives . The voluntary members of the family council take up the deficiencies that show up in everyday clinical practice and work to eliminate them. At a monthly meeting with the clinic management, suggestions and complaints from patients and relatives are discussed.
With the proceeds from the bazaar and sponsors, the family council helped to create a path of sensuality , which was initially called the sound garden , on the clinic premises . By setting up sound sculptures by various artists, a better quality of life could be achieved for patients.
On August 14, 2002, the chairwoman Gertrud Stegemann received the Federal Cross of Merit on ribbon for exemplary social commitment.
