This Sanatorium is South of Berlin. Building work started in 1898. It is even seen in today's light extremely modern. It is situated in the middle of the woods away from the big Cities are factories. In the woods were little pavilions which were inlets for the air from there it got heated up and pumped into each of the bed rooms to provide the best air quality possible. First there was only treatment for man later also for woman. It was meant to be strict separation but I was reliably informed that TB the main reason for the Sanatorium mad men say it extremely liable to take risks to get what they were after and so the separation was not as strict as thought to be.
It has been used as a Hospital, lately by the Russian Army till the German unification. At bad times after the war the place did not operate as a Sanatorium or Hospital but as it was self efficient it took orphan's and poor children in to just feed and educate them
After unification only parts have been transformed and work as a Sanatorium, other parts have been turned into Homes and there are still many buildings out of the original 60 which are looking for a new lease of life.
The area was not secured after the Russian Army had left till about 2007. To many encounters of the bad happened by then including a deah. Now access is restricted
It was even used as a film set for The Pianist from 2002 and Valkyrie from 2008.
