Klinikum Bremen-Ost, Medical center and heritage monument in Osterholz, Germany.
Klinikum Bremen-Ost is a hospital in Osterholz with departments for general medicine, psychiatry, and specialized clinics. The buildings are arranged in a park landscape and combine modern medical care with a green setting.
The clinic began in 1904 as St. Jurgen Asylum and was originally designed for psychiatric care. Over the decades, the facility expanded to include additional specialties and developed into a modern hospital.
The site houses a museum that shows the history of psychiatry and how patient treatment has changed over time. Visitors can discover old medical equipment and personal stories of people who received care at the facility.
The grounds are open to the public and offer visitors paths through the gardens as well as access to the museum. It is useful to check in advance what exhibitions and guided tours are available.
The grounds contain a memorial called 'Window of Heaven / Mad Star' with video installations commemorating patients from the Nazi period. This moving artwork is located directly on the grounds and stands as testimony to an important chapter in the facility's history.
