Alpenhaus
Beelitz was not spared during the Second World War: the women's section, the Alpenhaus, burned down in 1944 and has been empty ever since. The trees growing out of the roof also reveal this.
However, you can still take a look during a tour, including at the luxurious restaurant, where the almost 300 female patients were spoiled with copious meals.
Nurses kept an eye on the sick people eating from a balcony to ensure they did not smuggle food in their pockets for their visitors.
