State Hospital Hildburghausen

Around 1,500 sick people were housed in the Hildburghausen state sanatorium and nursing home. They were mostly schizophrenics , occasionally also epileptics and feeble-minded people . In the course of the use of hospitals for purposes important to the war effort, partial evacuation took place from 1940. 250 (or 220) beds were made available for English prisoners of war.

According to research by Michael Kühne, Superintendent in Hildburghausen, between 1939 and 1944 up to 750 patients were removed from the sanatorium. At least 630 patients from the T4 campaign fell victim to the four sanatoriums in the Thuringian region ( Blankenhain state sanatorium , Hildburghausen state hospital, Pfafferode state hospital and nursing home near Mühlhausen and Stadtroda state hospital ) .
