Martin Gropius Krankenhaus

Martin Gropius Krankenhaus is a hospital complex in Eberswalde that treats patients with neurological and psychiatric conditions across multiple specialized buildings. The facility houses separate departments for neurology, sleep medicine, child psychiatry, psychosomatic medicine, geriatric psychiatry, and forensic psychiatry.

The complex was built between 1862 and 1865 based on designs by Martin Gropius, serving as a provincial asylum for Brandenburg. After 1945, Soviet forces used it as a military hospital until it returned to psychiatric care in 1994.

The name honors architect Martin Gropius, whose design shaped the entire complex. The layout reflects how medical thinking evolved, with separate areas built to treat different patient conditions away from one another.

The facility is located at Oderberger Straße 8 and provides access to multiple specialties in one place. Visitors should know this is an active medical facility where access to certain areas may be restricted.

The hospital operates as a teaching facility for Charité University and runs a specialized pancreatic cancer center serving the region. This blend of academic training and cancer care happens within buildings that preserve 19th-century medical architecture.
