Kinderheilstätte Harzgerode, Cultural heritage monument in Harzgerode, Germany
The former children's hospital consists of a main building, greenhouse, doctor residences, isolation ward, school building, and gatehouse on a 21-hectare wooded property.
The facility operated from 1931 to 1998, treating tuberculosis and other respiratory conditions in children through specialized medical care and outdoor therapy methods.
Architect Godehard Schwethelm incorporated round windows and curved lines into the functional design to create a child-friendly environment in the Neues Bauen style.
The medical complex accommodated 150 patients and 150 staff members, featuring two operating rooms and extensive balconies for patients to receive fresh air treatments.
In 2018, the property transformed into an eco-village and event space, managed by the community group In der Heilstätte Harzgerode eG.
