The property was built in the Art Nouveau style in 1912/13 . The property was first used as a military sanatorium, then as a state hospital for the disabled. Today the "Park Clinic" is located in the property.
The property is a three-storey three-wing complex with hipped mansard roofs or a gable roof . The castle-like complex is in itself a baroque element, but the avoidance of strict symmetry is an ironic stylistic device of Art Nouveau. Accordingly, the main entrance at the front is also relocated to a lower corner. The equipment with mansard roofs is a baroque element. In keeping with the function of the property as a sanatorium, it is equipped with loggias . The railings, with their volute motifs, largely date from the construction period of the complex.
The sanatorium includes two outbuildings that were built around 1912. One is a single-storey Mansardwalmdachbau with basement and dormer gable in Art Nouveau style, the other a two-storey plastered Halbwalmdachbau .
Café Lohengrin
Café Lohengrin (now Bismarckstrasse 70) was built as early as 1866 at number 7. The café was renamed Lieb's Terrassen under the tenant Jakob Lieb. A new café kitchen was created under Jakob Lieb in 1920. The privateer David Bychowsky from Riga is said to have owned the café and converted it into a stately home. At the end of the 1920s, the café stopped operating.
Clinic operation
At the time, house number 7a, a military spa was built next to the café and inaugurated on April 1, 1914. In 1914 it was still in Kgl. Reserve hospital, renamed the Bavarian Convalescent Institution Bad Kissingen in October 1918.
The convalescent facility, which has since been renamed the health care facility, and the premises of the Lohengrin café, which was closed at the end of the 1920s, were merged; On David Bychowsky's former site, a house was built for the chief doctor. When it was renamed the Heeres-Kurlazarett, another name change took place in the 1930s.
During the Second World War , numerous war wounded were treated in the facility, which was run as a hospital for the disabled. After the war the administration was housed in the villa; the house numbers changed. In 1978 the health care facility was closed.
After almost two decades of vacancy, the Würzburg building contractor Rudi May († 2019) opened a specialist clinic for gynecological rehabilitation, prevention and follow-up treatment on the property. The Park Clinic was opened in 1996 after a two-year construction period. Two years later the focus was shifted from gynecology to orthopedics. In 1998 the management went to the Bonn-based management consultancy Ostermann Pott & Cie, which carried out extensive renovation measures. As a result, oncology in 2002 and clinical geriatrics in 2004 were added as focal points.
Today the Park Clinic specializes in internal medicine, orthopedics and geriatrics and has 184 single rooms and five double rooms.
