The architect and city building councillor Hubert Ritter created many different types of buildings, including this hospital.

Description

The house consisted of four floors until World War II . This made the staircase tower with the reddish clinker bricks a more imposing building element. The flat roof was originally used for "open-air treatments". At the time of the building's construction, it was considered fashionable for people with skin and venereal diseases to use the terrace for cures. Therefore, showers, toilets and also a shelter from the rain were installed on the roof.

The building is most likely masoned and covered with bricks to relate to the older neighbouring building.
