Lindenbrunn is the name of a clinic in Coppenbrügge in Lower Saxony . The history of the clinic goes back to a documented Gesundbrunnen in 1531. In the 18th and 19th centuries, a spa and bathing establishment was established around the fountain. From 1906 the facility was renamed Sanatorium Lindenbrunn , since 1969 Lindenbrunn Special Hospital and since 1996 Lindenbrunn Hospital .
history
First mentions
The oldest known document from 1531 reports various healings by the "Gesundbrunnen" at the site of today's hospital. A script written around 1556 reads: "A document about the newly discovered Fonteyne or source, where Almighty God lets his gifts be felt daily and which is located in the county of Spiegelberg , two miles from the city of Hameln on the Weser."
The newly discovered Gesundbrunnen will also be visited by many people in the next century, which can be found in a booklet published around 1670 by the personal physician of the Generaliessmus von Pappenheim, Bollmann. One of the earliest connoisseurs of the old county of Spiegelberg, whose counts had their headquarters in Coppenbrügge, the historian Baring in 1744, deals in great detail with the Gesundbrunnen: “Meanwhile, the so-called sulfur well in the Coppenbrügger Landwehr could easily be brought up again when you came to the Commodity of the well guests would be taken care of ... “.
In the next detailed report in the Hanoverian magazine of 1770, new healings are mentioned, a new version of the fountain and the planting of linden trees, which have been preserved to this day in the stairs of the Lindenbrunn. The Coppenbrügge Bürgerbuch reports in 1790 about the construction of a bathhouse with accommodation. A small spa was established, which had to be expanded as early as 1808 due to the strong influx.
Development of the spa business from 1850
Around 1850 a Baron von Münchhausen from the Voldags line took over the area around the sulfur fountain and built a manor house there. A new era: the nobility and landowners were now promenading there with their ladies.
In 1889 the simple mansion was given a castle-like character through the installation of a real Weser Renaissance gable with scrolls and scrolls , which comes from a patrician house that was demolished in Hameln.
When the Hildesheim family Bühring set up a nursing home here at the turn of the century, sick people were cared for again in the “Lindenbrunn”. Finally, in 1906, the facility was taken over by Carl Netter and renamed “Sanatorium Lindenbrunn”.
Carl Netter belonged to the Kneipp school , that is, to the therapeutic direction that is now called naturopathy. Air and sun baths - at that time still separated by an opaque wooden fence for women and men - large water basins and living rooms were created. The house itself received a spacious water and bathing system. The old sulfur spring stepped back a little compared to the fresh, pure spring water: Pourings, packs, wraps, toppings, water cures in every form became the leitmotif.
When the First World War broke out, there were 104 spa guests in the Lindenbrunn Sanatorium. After Carl Netters fell seriously ill, the Kleinebergs, who were closely friends with the daughter of the house, decided to take over the facility on April 1, 1938. The medical successor of the Netter medical council was Pfister, who was considered a capable and ingenious specialist in internal diseases and was once part of the circle of medical supervisors of King Ludwig II of Bavaria. After the outbreak of World War II, the German Wehrmacht took over the house in 1940 to convert it into a military hospital.
Development after the end of the Second World War
From 1949, a new extension was implemented with numerous plans that had to be put aside when the Second World War broke out. The hydrotherapy facility has become a hydro-therapeutic department with extensive treatment options such as suda , four-cell and overheating baths, with an inhalatory, immersion and pedal baths. Instead of the old sulfur spring, the modern Stangerbad turned out to be far more medicinal. In place of the old air bath, new, large reclining halls were built in part of the park.
On September 8, 1965, the Association for the Care of Severely Handicapped People was founded in Hanover . V., which has been the sponsor of the Lindenbrunn Hospital since then. In a conversation with the association's board in July 1968, Minister of Social Affairs Kurt Partzsch suggested taking over the Lindenbrunn sanatorium. The purchase contract for DM 1.7 million was signed in autumn. After a short renovation phase, the special hospital Lindenbrunn was given a new name and 72 beds in May 1969. In November 1972, an extension costing 17.5 million DM was opened and a special hospital with 240 beds was built, in which patients with chronic ailments and the most serious consequences of injuries could be admitted.
In 1996 another renovation took place for 11.0 million DM and the house, now only called Lindenbrunn Hospital, specialized in the treatment of geriatric and neurological patients with severe craniocerebral injuries. A further modernization took place in the years 2006 to 2011 through a complete renovation of 4 wards (128 beds) with a cost volume of 4.5 million euros as well as through the purchase of modern medical equipment. At the beginning of 2012, the construction of a new large kitchen was completed with an investment of around EUR 1.0 million.
present
Today the Lindenbrunn Hospital specializes in the diagnosis, therapy and care of patients with neurological and geriatric diseases. In this area, it takes over patient care for the Hameln-Pyrmont district and the neighboring districts. The hospital is run by the Association for the Care of Severely Disabled People. V. Chairman of the supporting association is Rolf Harmening.
Medical care is provided in geriatrics and neurology with a total capacity of 212 beds. Approx. 3000 patients are treated per year; a total of over 400 people are employed in the Lindenbrunn hospital.
