New building for Haus Schimmelreiter: 24 single rooms for better care!
A significant step in the care of mentally ill people was recently taken in Wertach. The groundbreaking ceremony for the replacement building for the BRK Haus Schimmelreiter took place on October 23, 2025, and it is clear that a lot will happen here. A total of 6.4 million euros will be invested to create 24 modern single rooms that will provide improved care for residents. This measure aims to provide contemporary care that meets the needs of today. The Mercury reports that the BRK Ostallgäu district association has been in charge since the 1970s.
What are the goals of this new building? The plan is to replace all existing double rooms with single rooms. This is particularly important as the clinical pictures of mentally ill people are becoming increasingly complex and younger sufferers are increasingly becoming the focus. The new single rooms are intended to reduce conflicts and promote responsible integration of residents BRK Ostallgäu explained in detail.
A modern approach to mental health
The new building sets an important accent in mental health care in East and Upper Allgäu. The quality of mental health is critical to community well-being. According to the World Health Organization Good mental health not only enables people to better deal with the challenges of life, but also to develop their abilities and actively contribute to the common good.
In today's society, many people are affected by mental illness, and the risk increases due to unfavorable living conditions, such as poverty or social inequality. It is therefore necessary that the gaps in mental health care are closed. The replacement building for Haus Schimmelreiter represents significant progress in this direction.
The construction work is being carried out by Hubert Schmid GmbH, and completion of the new building is scheduled for autumn 2026. The new single rooms should then be occupied at the beginning of 2027. Until then, the need for inpatient places will remain unchanged, which shows that a solid foundation is being created to meet the growing requirements.
It remains exciting to see how developments in the area of mental health will continue. One thing is certain, however: the new building will have a positive impact on many lives and will make Haus Schimmelreiter a place where worries and fears can be better accommodated - and with a good hand for the future.
