Children's sanatorium Zell
The former children's sanatorium in Zell is a monument built in two construction phases in 1907 and 1910 by the architect August Zeh in Zell in the community of Schäftlarn .
history
The children's sanatorium in Zell was set up in 1910 by the doctor JH Spielberg. In 1921 Erich Benjamin took over the management of the sanatorium. There he specialized in the treatment of behavioral, nervous and neurotic children and is one of the founders of child and adolescent psychiatry and a pioneer of curative education . Benjamin was increasingly discriminated against due to his Jewish origins in the 1930s and therefore sold the sanatorium to the German Red Cross in 1937 . A memorial plaque on the building today reminds of the work of Erich Benjamin.
In 1950 and 1951 some structural changes were made to the sanatorium. For a long time the building served as the nurses' home for the Franciscan Sisters of Maria Stern . It is currently empty, plans to set up a sanatorium for traumatized children there failed.

description
The children's sanatorium Zell is located on a hillside property and consists of several buildings that form a complex. The main building is a two-storey villa with plastered structure, which shows Art Nouveau ornaments and the actual sanatorium building northeast of it, a three-storey hipped roof building. Both buildings are connected by an angled connecting structure. The building complex is located in a park-like property, parts of which have been separated off as building plots for private homes in recent years.
Reception in art
In the autobiographical novel The Three Ears of God , Renate Benjamin, a daughter of Erich Benjamin, describes her youth in Zell. The Zell children's sanatorium is a frequent location for the action.
