Bis ins 19. Jahrhundert gab es in Deutschland keine spezialisierten Einrichtungen für epilepsiekranke Menschen.

Wenn ihre Betreuung in der Familie wegen der Schwere und Häufigkeit der Anfälle oder wegen zusätzlicher (geistiger oder körperlicher) Behinderungen nicht mehr möglich war, wurden die Anfallkranken häufig in Gefängnissen, "Irrenanstalten" oder ehemaligen Leprosorien (Aufenthaltsorte für "Aussätzige") untergebracht.

There were no special institutions for people with epilepsy in Germany until the second half of the 19th century.

Where it was not possible for people with epilepsy to be cared for in their family, either because their seizures were too serious or too frequent or because they had some additional mental or physical handicap, they were put in prisons, "lunatic asylums" or former leprosoria places where people with leprosy could live).
