Former lung sanatorium

The healing facilities in Bad Reiboldsgrün , Albertsberg and Carolagrün, which are located close to each other in the middle of the forests of the Ore Mountains and Vogtland, formed an important center for the healing of people with lung disease, especially those with tuberculosis, in Saxony until the 1960s .

The building group of the lung sanatorium, which is under monument protection , was created according to plans by the architect Heinrich Tscharmann as a lung sanatorium for women. It was owned by the Saxon Health Center Association for Lung Sufferers. The foundation stone for the building was laid on August 15, 1899. The opening by the Saxon Queen Carola took place on October 15, 1900. The queen is also the namesake of the sanctuary, the residence kept the name. The neighboring facility for men with lung disease is called Albertsberg.

A neo-Gothic wooden chapel with a roof turret in which a bell hangs was built in 1906 and converted into a sports hall in 1945.

In 1907, an extension was added to the main building to treat children with lung disease, and in 1913 a children's home with 40 beds and a school was built.

Between 1966 and 1994, the sanatorium buildings were used by the Bad Reiboldsgrün specialist hospital for child and adolescent psychiatry. In the 1970s, three multi-storey residential buildings for families were built. From 1995 on, the Lebenshilfe for the mentally handicapped e. V. the hospital buildings until the year 2000. From this time on they are empty. After the acquisition by a "foreign investor" in 2004, these continued to lapse. In the 2010s, signs of decay continued to show. In 2013, new windows were installed on the upper floor of the main building, the roof was repaired and the roof turret of the chapel was newly shod with sheet metal. Photos show the state around 2015. The non-use leads to more and more trees and bushes growing out and spreading close to the clinic buildings.
