Outrage in Bremerhaven: Psychiatric clinic planned close to schools!

Outrage in Bremerhaven: Psychiatric clinic planned close to schools!

Bremen's citizens are faced with a hot debate: Lower Saxony plans to establish a psychiatric clinic for mentally ill criminals in Bremerhaven-Mitte. These plans already ensure a lot of turmoil in the region, especially because of the central location near schools and daycare centers. The construction of such a facility in a residential area is considered problematic by many. The Bremen health senator has already explained that a measure enforcement in this situation was "not a good idea". This reports Buten un inland .

The excitement about this advance was initially not noticeable, although the Bremerhaven magistrate was already informed about the planning on May 21. Apparently the message did not immediately penetrate the citizens, who are now increasingly facing these problem cases of Lower Saxony and Bremen. There is resistance to the plans on social media and the outrage grows.

Details on clinic planning

The new-fashioned clinic is to be built in the former Ameos Hospital, which has been closed since April 2024. Lower Saxony's Ministry of Health has already organized an on -site appointment with Bremen Health Authorities in order to examine the suitability of the property for the intelligence enforcement. Kristin Viezens, spokeswoman for the Bremen health senator, emphasizes that the process is still in a very early phase and that the basic suitability of the building must be clarified.

Another point of the discussion is the legal situation. While Lower Saxony allows private providers like AMEO's operators of such facilities, this is not the case in Bremen. This means that the new institution should be operated in the Bremen area as a state-saxony facility, which requires extensive coordination and contractual regulations, as from Weser-Kurier reported

political reactions

The resistance to the project is noticeable. The Bremerhaven FDP has already made it clear that it rejects the plans for the central location of the facility. FDP chairman Bernd Freemann emphasizes that it is unwise to accommodate such a clinic in a densely populated residential area. The Bremen CDU citizenship faction has also critically expressed itself and demands that the residents be included in the discussion. Christine Schnittker, a spokeswoman for the CDU parliamentary group, refers to the security risks that could assume a psychiatric enforcement clinic.

The concerns are not just a party policy. The Bremen Greens also expressly express open criticism, especially with regard to the signal effect of such a project for the population in Bremerhaven. Michael Labetzke from the Greens criticizes the lack of his own concepts of the Bremerhaven coalition to reuse the clinic, which does not exactly improve the situation.

Overall, it can be seen that the construction of this psychiatric clinic is not only a medical challenge, but also significantly influences the mood of the Bremerhaven population. Many look at the developments with concern and follow the further course of the plans with eyes.
