  • Safety

    The Beelitz-Heilstätten military hospital I went to during a recent cycling trip is a good example of where some common sense is, well, sensible! Most of it is totally safe, but there are some areas which looked horrendously dangerous. If you go to the area, please watch out for collapsed roofs, dodgy railings and bad staircases. All of the staircases we used seemed okay, but we were very careful making our way around as one bad step could be fatal.

  • Beelitz-Heilstätten theatre

    Welcome to the glamorous Beelitz-Heilstätten lecture theatre. Despite many years of abandonment, I think this place still has better insulation and seating than most of the lecture theatres I remember from my years at university.

  • Beelitz-Heilstätten graffiti

    I’ve been to quite a few abandoned places now. But Beelitz-Heilstätten is definitely the biggest. It’s also one of the most remote as there’s not a lot else in the area. I think the size and remoteness has resulted in a lot less vandalism and graffiti inside the buildings. There were some interesting creations though, including instructions to trespass (check) and to teach children to worship Satan. The Satan comment was painted at the front of a large grand lecture hall.

  • The Pink Giant

    Beelitz-Heilstätten is the unfortunate location where the “Beast of Beelitz” went on a killing spree over five years, eventually killing a total of five women. She was eventually caught masturbating at the hospital and arrested. She was also nicknamed the “Pink Giant” due to her size and propensity to steal pink lingerie. Since 2009, she has undergone hormone treatment for gender reassignment. She is still in prison to this day.

    These are some photos I took whilst at the now abandoned hospital recently.

  • Beelitz-Heilstätten fridges

    Beelitz-Heilstätten fridges

    Need a fridge? In the Beelitz area? Well, just head on over to the Beelitz-Heilstätten (the old military hospital I went on a cycling trip to recently) and pick up one of these crazy old fridges just kicking about. There’s tons of these things all over the place.

  • Gorinsee by night

    This was my view during my bike ride home recently. All I could hear was “Come to the light Ryan! Come to the light!”. So I headed towards the light. I don’t remember much past that.
