It was the first hospital specially for children in Mecklenburg.
The first building was on Waisenstrasse (today Bornhövedstrasse). In 1882, a donation from the Grand Duke enabled the new building in Bleicherstraße, which was planned by Georg Daniel , and which was expanded in 1902 (today's address: Platz der Jugend 25 ). The two-storey building with a central risalit has a yellow clinker brick facade with red clinker strips . The building could be occupied on July 1, 1883. The Grand Duke and his third wife had made the donation in memory of his daughter Anna , who died on February 8, 1882 at the age of 16, from his second marriage to Grand Duchess Anna of Hesse and the Rhine (1843–1865) who died of childbed fever in 1865. 1865) made; hence the name of the hospital from then on was Anna Hospital .
