This here is a former hospital. Built originally in 1937 and enlarged in 1962 it first was a large regional hospital and after 1988 the city hospital in the area. It later served as an ordinary clinic and was abandoned in 2018 after air quality problems arose.
Since 2018 it has been planned to demolish the newer buildings, preserve the oldest one and build apartments on the site. Most of the buildings in this photo would be demolished. Only the 1937 section, of which a small part can be seen in the left corner of the photo would be preserved.
The main entrance. Let’s see, if there’s anything to explore here.
This is the 1960’s part. Not exactly beautiful, but a prime example of architecture from that era.
A further section closer to the river.
The riverside of things. I wonder, what has been in that low wing with the balcony.
Moving on. The first glimpse of the protected 1930’s hospital building can be seen to the right.
The balconies look like a lot later addition than the 1960’s.
The clock has stopped. It is evening already.
This building has probably originally been the medical superintendent’s house from the 1930’s. The detail plan proposal would allow its demolition.
The more modern auxiliary building has probably served as a legal graffiti wall judging by its current appearance.
It is actually quite fancy.
The protected, 1930’s original hospital, which has been heightened in the 1990’s. This one will be preserved according to plans.
The taller far end of the 1930’s wing will apparently also be restored to its original appearance according to the plans.
One final look at the 1930’s part. The yard seems to be acting as some sort of a storage.
The administrative court overturned the new detail plan in 2024. It’s judgement was, that not detailed enough research had been done on the plan.
So the area is waiting. And so am I.
