Beelitz-Heilstätten Hospital, Beelitz, GermanyBuilt in the later part of the 18th century, the Beelitz-Heilstätten Hospital otherwise known as the Beelitz Sanatorium was initially created to help rehabilitate tuberculosis patients. It was built from 1898 to 1930 under the direction of the German National Insurance Institute. They thought that the proximity of the area to the capital as well as the fresh countryside air would make the perfect location to help patients. It was built with 60 buildings consisting mostly of treatment facilities, but there was also a small village in the area along with a bakery, restaurant, butcher's post, a post office and even a power station.Support the show
