St. Jozefsheim, jan. 2015

[Ghostpast]

This old monastry has quite a disturbing past. It was a hospital for the mentally ill, and at World War 2 it was taken over by the Nazi's. This became a place where they "dumped" the people who didnt fit in the thoughts of a perfect world.

Jewish and handicapped children were murdered here, 512 total. After the war it had multiple functions, from school to military hospital.

Nice bunch of pictures.

I've identified the place rather quickly and gave it a try today. Got greeted by security. :|

And it seems renovations are planned.

 

[Ghostpast]

I was inside before the sun came up, cause ive heard about the security. You gonna give it another try?

Maybe later this year, when the days are longer, if I have to get in early (or alternatively very late). Hopefully they're indeed not starting renovations by then, because there's already a scaffold standing.
