Hohenlychen Sanatorium
Hohenlychen Sanatorium, Medical heritage site in Lychen, Germany
The Hohenlychen medical complex encompasses multiple buildings across 15 hectares near Lake Zenssee, featuring half-timbered architecture from the early 1900s.
Founded in 1902 by the Berlin Red Cross, this sanatorium initially treated children with tuberculosis before becoming a military medical facility during World War II.
The transformation of Hohenlychen from a tuberculosis treatment center to a sports medicine facility attracted numerous athletes and notable figures during the 1930s.
The partially abandoned complex requires extensive renovation, with current plans focusing on converting certain buildings into residential spaces and elderly care facilities.
During the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Hohenlychen served as the primary medical facility for athletes, establishing new protocols in sports medicine and rehabilitation.
