You queried the wrecked building at Beelitz… it was the women’s santitorium and it was bombed in WW2, hence the fire damage etc. I am not sure if it was the “normal” TB sanitorium or the other one – as I understand it there are two forms of TB, and one usually requires surgery. You’ll see mention of something like lungenkrankenhouse… that one building, the other variant name I can’t recall. Anyhow basically that building is one of the two women’s blocks and it was bombed by our dear old Ar Ay Heff!

We’re off their next month… any tips?

Great set of shots and commentary. Makes me very sentimental of for old Lady. Beelitz was my first, and there hasn’t been an explore since then to equal her. May she rest in peace, but she will be missed.

Thanks for the comments. There was so much cool stuff we saw and had no time to explore – could easily spend another week seeing such great places

The photos are amazing.. Great write up as well. I’d love to make it out to europe someday. It seems as though there are a lot of great urban ex opportunities out there just from looking at your pics as well as others.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Beelitz is amazing, it holds so many great memories. Unfortunately there has been some recent accidents/deaths – Beelitz has been officially locked down with on site security/police. Its so big, I’m sure there will still be access =)
