Our History

The foundation of our facility goes back to Hermine de Voss. At the end of the 19th century, the merchant’s daughter had her recreation home and a Sunday school built on the site of today’s specialist clinic for orthopedics. Her sense of social and educational responsibility gave her the name “Angel of Stenum.”
After her death, her estate became a vacation colony for children in need of recreation. Later it became a sun sanatorium, which laid the foundation for holistic medical care in the midst of nature. Today STENUM is a modern orthopedic clinic where patients with health insurance and private insurance are welcome.
