Beelitz-Heilstätten Sanatorium

Highlight • Historical Site

As a sanatorium for patients with lung diseases, the Beelitz sanatoriums on the outskirts of Berlin were by far the largest facility of their kind before the First World War. Equipped with the most modern surgical and therapeutic facilities, the site quickly gained an excellent reputation.

With the discovery of new treatment methods after the Second World War, the sanatoriums lost their importance. After being used as a Soviet military hospital, the reunification led to long periods of vacancy, some of which have continued to this day, and this led to vandalism and decay. However, for several years now, thanks to various entrepreneurial initiatives, new life has been emerging in Beelitz with a variety of uses.

Frauenpavillon (First Women's Tuberculosis Ward)

Highlight • Historical Site

The pavilion was the first bed house for women with lung diseases. The floor plan was designed in such a way that all facilities, such as toilets, washrooms and bathrooms, the examination rooms and the dining room could be reached according to the "principle of short distances". The wards were on the opposite south side of the building, so that the patients had maximum sun and an unobstructed view of the park.

In the morning we drive with Christine to the Beelitz sanatorium southwest of Potsdam. It takes us about 10 minutes from the train station to reach the site. We have booked a guided tour in advance and want to see the "Alpenhaus" around lunchtime. Before that we stroll through the site and take the treetop path over the treetops. The …

My sweet gnome hunters couldn't be happier. They now describe the trip as one of the best. Sometimes good things are just around the corner.

I didn't think my little ones would be enthusiastic about this - but once again - I underestimated their endurance and …
