history

The Vitos Philippshospital Riedstadt is one of the oldest psychiatric hospitals in the world. It was donated by Landgrave Philipp I of Hesse in 1535 , had the original field name Hofheim , which the local clinic for child and adolescent psychiatry still bears in its name, and was renamed "Philippshospital" in 1904 in honor of the donor. Philipp had already donated the high hospitals in Haina and Merxhausen from secularized monasteries, and in 1542 the high hospital in Gronau , which was destroyed in the Thirty Years War , followed . The hospital experienced some vicissitudes in its long and varied history, z. B. in the Thirty Years War (1618–1648).

Contrary to some rumors, the Philipp Hospital was never a monastery ; there was previously only a Catholic parish.

During the National Socialist era, patients from the Philipp Hospital were transported to Hadamar as part of the so-called “ T4 campaign ”. In 1989 a memorial stone was placed at the entrance to the Philipp Hospital in memory of the euthanasia victims. Every year, on September 1st, Vitos Riedstadt organizes a memorial event for the euthanasia victims.
