Guided Story

Can you feel the echoes of the past in these walls? Right here, at the Alte Nervenklinik, doctors and caregivers once embraced the spirit of enlightenment in psychiatric care. Picture the patients who walked these halls over a century ago, finding solace in a place that resembled a grand estate more than a clinic. Look to your left and you'll see the Aromagarden, a peaceful spot that refreshes the mind. Behind you, a little to the southwest, stands the Herz-Jesu Church, another architectural gem. But here, within these walls, it's the stories of healing and hope that linger, reminding us of the transformation in care that took place in this very spot.
