    FROM THE "WINNENTHAL HEALING STATION" TO THE CLINIC CASTLE WINNENDEN
    The first sanatorium in Württemberg was founded at the Winnenden location in the former castle. The sanatorium for up to 100 beds was opened in 1834 after modifications based on the latest knowledge at the time.
    dr Albert Zeller, the first medical director, was convinced that patients could be cured. He gave care, nurturing and compassion to the patients. He saw his treatment supported by a beautiful, healthy environment and a strict daily routine. Zeller developed therapies that are still used today, such as work therapy, group therapy and social integration.


    175 years of history are difficult to describe briefly. The timeline with comparative data from history and medical development helps to understand the major development steps.

    On the occasion of the anniversary, the history of the Klinikum Schloss Winnenden was researched by various authors and published in a book "I'm not a fool".

    OVER 175 YEARS OF PSYCHIATRY HISTORY
    The Center for Psychiatry has existed since 1834. dr Albert Zeller was the first medical director and shaped the classification into clinical pictures, the basic features of which still exist today.


    The Klinikum Schloß Winnenden is responsible for the regional psychiatric and psychotherapeutic care of the Rems-Murr district, the district of Ludwigsburg South and the Ostalb district. This corresponds to a supply area with around 1 million inhabitants.

    In the clinics for general psychiatry and psychotherapy, geriatric psychiatry and psychotherapy, psychosomatic medicine and psychotherapy as well as addiction therapy and withdrawal, the Klinikum Schloß Winnenden offers inpatient and semi-inpatient treatment options in day clinics and outpatient care. The main location in Winnenden is supplemented by branch offices in Ellwangen and Schwäbisch Gmünd.

    The clinic goes back to the "Königliche Heilanstalt Winnenthal", which, as the oldest sanatorium in Württemberg, has been treating the mentally ill since 1834. dr As the first medical director, Albert Zeller shaped the development of psychiatry in Germany with his humane treatment of the mentally ill. In what was then Winnenthal, he laid the foundation for the psychiatric clinical pictures that are still valid today. With more than 1,000 employees, Klinikum Schloß Winnenden is one of the largest employers in the city of Winnenden and employs around 60 professional groups.

    In addition to regular clinic operations and the high-quality fulfillment of core tasks, opening up to the outside world and breaking down inhibitions and destigmatizing the mentally ill are important concerns for the clinic. In addition to information events on mental illnesses, the clinic also regularly invites you to cultural events such as readings, concerts and art exhibitions.

      The square and the castle are accessible from the outside even though it is actually a clinic.

        ... in Winnenden in the Rems-Murr district of Baden-Württemberg.

        The former "Winnetal Castle" belonged to the "Teutonic Order" (a Roman Catholic religious order)
        - "Berthold von Neuffen" donated his property in Winnenden to the "Teutonic Order" in 1288


        - The oldest building in the current castle complex dates back to around 1300
        - The design of the castle complex has changed continuously through additions and renovations
        - The castle garden was laid out at the beginning of the 18th century


        - In 1665, "Duke Eberhard III of Württemberg" acquired the castle complex
        - From 1677, the castle was the seat of the Württemberg branch of the "Württemberg-Winnental" line


        - In 1813, the former noble residence was finally converted into barracks

        - From 1830 to 1833, "Friedrich Bernhard Adam Groß" converted the castle into a mental hospital, the "Winnental Sanatorium"

        - Today, the castle houses the "Klinikum" (Hospital) Winnenden Castle – Center for Psychiatry
