Two and a half weeks ago four men fled a closed psychiatric ward, now another man is on the run from the open area.

The security in the facilities is discussed again.

Because little has changed, criticizes the SPD.

Weinsberg - After another escape from the psychiatric clinic in Weinsberg in the Heilbronn district, the SPD renewed its criticism of the security precautions in the facilities. "The new incident does not contribute to people's sense of security and underlines the need to put the precautions in these facilities through their paces," said the penitentiary expert of the SPD, Jonas Weber, on Monday. "The open days in Weinsberg must come to an end."

The fugitive patient was housed in an open ward and has been wanted since Saturday. "Open management means that the ward is not locked around the clock," said a spokesman for the clinic. It is true that “close monitoring” is still part of the security concept, also to quickly identify rule violations. Basically, however, a distinction should be made between an escape or "escape" from an open ward and an escape from a closed ward, said the spokesman.

Around two and a half weeks ago, four men broke out of a closed ward of the clinic, ready for a film.

After the outbreak at the time, the SPD parliamentary group demanded that the five penal institutions across the country be checked.

Weber had argued that the escapes presumably planned their escape with a mobile phone and left the building through a hallway window that was not barred.

It is worrying that Minister of Social Affairs Manne Lucha (Greens) does not have an overview of the security deficits of the facilities.

A spokesman for Lucha had rejected the allegations as unfounded.

Four arrests for possible synagogue attack

One of the four men was arrested the day after the outbreak.

The other three are still on the run.

In Weinsberg, according to the ministry, there had not been an outbreak from the secured area since 2005.

However, patients keep escaping from psychiatric hospitals.

Last year there were 47 such cases in 1252 patients nationwide in Baden-Württemberg, according to earlier information from the Ministry of Health.

The Klinik am Weissenhof in Weinsberg is an academic teaching hospital of the University of Heidelberg.

It is under the supervision of the state of Baden-Württemberg and offers psychiatric, psychotherapeutic and psychosomatic treatment and care for mentally ill people in the Heilbronn region.
