The Children's Hospital Schömberg was one of the first facilities of Reha-Südwest and is one of the first specialist paediatric neurological hospitals in Germany.
In 1971, a statement by the Ministry of the Interior of Baden-Württemberg highlighted the lack of facilities for the treatment of children and adolescents with disabilities. It was clear at the time that this problem could only be solved with the unconventional possibilities of parent self-help. A special clinic for the special needs of children with neurological diseases and disabilities was to be established. The aim was to combine a child-friendly clinic for children and young people with disabilities with intensive family and social work.
