An Interesting Discovery - The Abandoned Hospital Where Hitler Once Convalesced

This is decaying Beelitz-Heilstätten, a "men's sanatorium" just outside Berlin where Hitler recovered from war wounds during World War I. Today it is abandoned and could be the setting for a horror movie.

Beelitz-Heilstätten is an amazing complex of 60 abandoned and derelict hospital buildings. The oldest buildings are from 1898. The complex became a war hospital during WW1. In 1916 Adolf Hitler recovered here after being shot in the leg at the Battle of the Somme. The movie 'The Pianist' was partly shot here.
