Ehemaliges Park-Krankenhaus Leipzig-Dösen, Former psychiatric hospital in Dösen district, Leipzig, Germany

The medical complex spreads across a park-like area west of Chemnitzer Strasse, between the forensic clinic and the prison hospital.

Otto Wilhelm Scharenberg constructed the facility between 1899 and 1901, implementing a pavilion-style design for psychiatric patient treatment in Leipzig.

The site contains memorial elements recognizing the 551 children and adolescents who died there during medical procedures between 1934 and 1943.

The original medical buildings remain at Chemnitzer Strasse 50 in Leipzig, with documentation available at the Saxony State Archives.

Daniel Paul Schreber, whose father initiated the German garden movement, spent his final days at this institution until 1911.
