Beelitz Heilstatten

Story!! Just outside of Berlin is a hospital that opened 121 years ago and was left to rot for the last 25. Beelitz was originally the largest hospital in the world for lung-related issues. It boasted 60 buildings over 494 acres (200 hectares) of landscaped gardens. During the first 25 years the hospital operated, it treated over 110,000 patients. During WWI, it was used as a military hospital. After the war, it was left abandoned for some time before being used as a military hospital again in WWII. It was eventually captured and occupied by the Soviet army for 50 years, only to finally be abandoned for good in 1995. Some parts of the hospital have been re-opened and repurposed, but the majority of the buildings are still in a state of ruin. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxqz0dRLh52SsrO1EBnwVSQ
