Usually the elevator to the floors is in the main lobby. However, the layout in this building was different. The connecting wing between the higher and lower parts of the building can be seen behind the doors. I am now in the small lobby of the higher structure.
There was no major lobby here, just some small rooms.
Most likely they are former offices.
The main entrance to the hospital was located in the wing between the high section and the lower section of the building.
I wonder, what this operates.
The lobby. At first I thought that this was the canteen, but it probably was located with the kitchen in the basement, which I never explored.
Slowly moving towards the other wing of the hospital.
The anatomy of a phone.
What looks like a small office and staff break room.
These are probably all original features and materials.
The lobby seen to the other direction.
The salt room? It looks like parts of the hospital were rented out to entrepreneurs.
This is now the ground floor of the lower wing. There was a basement even here, but you already know that’s none of my business.
Student apartments. Of course there were nurse and doctoral students practicing at the hospital. As there was no med school in this small town, they lived at the hospital during their stay.
Their mailboxes.
Entering the first apartment.
This was a real apartment with a bath and everything. I believe that this has been the apartment of permanent hospital staff, as it was a full size apartment, not just a corridor with small rooms for two and some shared areas like the kitchen, the bathroom and living room.
Although a full size apartment, it wasn’t very large. Probably for the family of the caretaker or the head nurse or something.
The kitchen was very small.
The furniture was quite random. More often than not apartments in public buildings such as this one, have later been used as offices.
There had even been a small walk in closet.
Even the second apartment on the ground floor was fairly empty.
I am speechless by this bathroom design. The second apartment was a mirror image of the first one.
Impressive curtains.
Somebody interrupted their packing.
By the way, is that a dead rat on the floor or just my imagination?
This looks more like it was used as an apartment until the very end.
Religious literature. How am I not surprised. The area is quite religious, actually.
The glass doors downstairs lead back to the main hospital, but that’s not my direction. Instead I’m ending yet another post in a photo of stairs.
Except that we aren’t going there either. Time to explore the student apartments.
