Germany Abandoned

Hospital of Wheelchairs History

Krankenhaus von Rollstühlen, the hospital of wheelchairs is a small abandoned hospital in Germany. Functioning more like a care home, the hospital cared for the sick and elderly towards the end of their life.

Set in a wooded area, the peaceful surroundings were an ideal setting to provide the excellent standards of care offered. However, being set across several floors and with a raised entranceway into the first floor, access was always difficult. The hospital was closed by the authorities after a patient in a wheelchair tumbled down the concrete steps, falling to her death.

Love this man, wicked atmosphere about it. Awesome shots as always!

Lovely Set Andy.

,, some truly amazing photos here,, this structure, doesn’t look that far gone, and the woodwork is something,, is there a plan to save this building, or will it just go to ruin? Being German, I know we love to save these old places, if possible, and re-use them if appropriate.
