The LWL-Klinik Paderborn emerged from a long-term facility for mentally ill women. Today's LWL-Klinik Paderborn was put into operation as an acute clinic for psychiatry on September 1st, 1975.

By 1995, based on a basic social-psychiatric orientation, clinical and extra-clinical care structures such as the institute outpatient clinic, the general psychiatric day clinic, lay assistance and assisted living were gradually expanded. With an occupancy of over 400 beds, numerous long-term patients were also accommodated. In the course of the efforts to remove hospitalization at the beginning of the 1990s, numerous patients were transferred to assisted living or home facilities.

From 1995, specialized wards were set up with a focus on depression treatment, crisis intervention , psychotherapy , double diagnoses of addiction and psychiatric illnesses, as well as "qualified drug detoxification". Furthermore, there was a diversification of the therapeutic offers, the expansion of outpatient offers as well as the consultation and liaison service , the modernization and fundamental renovation of the buildings and the premises.
