History of the Psychiatric University Hospital Zurich
The founding of the clinic was largely due to Wilhelm Griesinger, who had a pioneering influence on psychiatry of his time: he propagated a more modern and humane image of the patient. From 1860 to 1865 he worked as head of the clinic for internal medicine in Zurich and thereby became the founding father of the psychiatric clinic.
The clinic's castle-like, monumental Neo-Renaissance building was designed by the Zurich architect Johann Caspar Wolff. It was built between 1864 and 1870. The clinic opened in 1870. Its first director was Bernhard von Gudden, who combined his leadership role with teaching at the University of Zurich. His successors also made this connection. Because von Gudden was only in charge of the clinic until 1872, his influence on the Burghölzli was comparatively small. When comparing with his successors, Auguste Forel (director 1879–1898) and Eugen Bleuler (director 1898–1927) particularly stand out. In addition to those already mentioned, the well-known psychiatrists who temporarily worked at the clinic include Carl Gustav Jung, Karl Abraham, Ludwig Binswanger and Eduard Hitzig. The National Socialist racial theorist Robert Ritter also worked at the clinic.
The psychiatric polyclinic was founded in 1911 and was integrated into the cantonal hospital around 1970. In 1967/1968 the walls around the “Burghölzli Clinic” were torn down (antipsychiatry). In 1970, Ambros Uchtenhagen founded the Social Psychiatric Service, which was integrated into the Psychiatric University Clinic in 1994 with the introduction of the new sector organization. The “Hegibach Geriatric Psychiatric Center” was opened in 1996. The sector organization was abandoned again in 2013. There was a merger of the “Clinic for Affective Disorders and General Psychiatry Zurich East” and the “Clinic for Social Psychiatry and General Psychiatry Zurich West” to form the “Clinic for Psychiatry, Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics”. In addition, the “Clinic for Forensic Psychiatry” was created as a separate department, into which child and adolescent forensics has been integrated since 2015. The reorganization resulted in a division into the business areas of adult psychiatry, geriatric psychiatry and forensics. It was planned to join the child and adolescent psychiatric services of the city of Zurich as the fourth PUK clinic from 2015.
With the law on the Psychiatric University Hospital of Zurich, which came into force on January 1, 2018, the PUK was given that of an independent public institution instead of the previous legal form of an independent operation of the cantonal administration.
