Rasthaus am Chiemsee, Hospital and architectural monument at Lake Chiemsee shore, Germany
The Rasthaus structure extends 250 meters along Lake Chiemsee, incorporating waterproof concrete basins to prevent flooding during high water periods.
The facility opened in 1938 as part of the German Autobahn network between Munich and Salzburg before transforming into a military hospital during World War II.
Munich architect Fritz Norkauer designed the building following traditional Chiemgau farmhouse architecture with characteristic gently sloped gable roofs.
The complex includes medical facilities, restaurants, a swimming area, and a hotel section with 53 rooms situated directly on the southern shore of Lake Chiemsee.
The basement features an air raid shelter with walls decorated with scenic paintings, poems, and messages from its wartime period.
