Good evening guys,
First stop on our German tour was to this old sanatorium. When we arrived, it was at the side of a motorway during rush hour and roadworks so stealth was not an option! We parked up and was watched by several neighbours and some old gent with a bike for a bit until we got the all clear so decided to enter. The point of access was on a roundabout which was shut for work so four guys just standing around doing nothing did look a bit suspicious but there was no where else to stand around at the time.
Some history
It was built between 1912 and 1914 which means it’s almost a 100 years old. It was built as a lung hospital, probably treating tuberculosis patients, by a doctor called Walter. The sanatorium itself is named after his wife. Before it was abandoned it served as a skin clinic, but since 1994 it has stood empty.
Thanks for looking in.
