Kinderheim A. S. Makarenko, Residential child care facility in Johannisthal, Berlin, Germany.
The Kinderheim A. S. Makarenko extended across multiple buildings on Südostallee, numbered from 106 to 148, in the Treptow-Köpenick district of Berlin.
The children's home opened on December 2, 1953, following an 18-month construction period, becoming the largest residential care facility in East Germany with 600 beds.
The institution bears the name of educational reformer Anton Semyonovich Makarenko and exemplified socialist education principles through its architectural design by Hermann Henselmann.
The facility operated continuously for 45 years until March 1998, providing care for an estimated 25,000 children during its four decades of operation.
In 2018, the former children's home grounds transformed into a residential park, featuring an information center that documents the experiences of past residents.
