Heilanstalt Neufriedenheim, Psychiatric hospital in Sendling-Westpark, Bavaria
Heilanstalt Neufriedenheim was a psychiatric clinic in Munich organized into multiple wings arranged around a central structure with side pavilions. The buildings were set within an extensive garden designed to support patient recovery and well-being.
The facility opened in 1891 as a private psychiatric clinic and operated for several decades. It sustained severe damage during World War II in 1942 but continued to function afterward, though its purpose shifted in 1952.
The facility was designed to serve affluent patients seeking treatment in a private setting, attracting prominent individuals who valued discretion and comfort. This patient base shaped its reputation as an exclusive medical establishment.
The site is easily accessible and located in a quiet neighborhood on Munich's outer edges. Today, visitors will find new buildings and a school where the original structures once stood.
After 1952, the site became a school for deaf and hard-of-hearing students and maintained this function for over six decades. This transformation made it a significant center for specialized education in Munich.
