On the 18,912 square meter plot of land at Argentinische Allee 40 at the corner of Fischerhüttenstrasse 99/109 (until 1933: Alsenstrasse 99/109), a sanatorium was first built in 1904 by Fritz Schirmer, a very active and respected master mason in Zehlendorf at the time, for the builders Peter and Valerie Ziegelroth Opened in February 1905 as the Zehlendorf-West Forest Sanatorium (also Dr. Ziegelroth's Sanatorium ). In autumn 1919, the doctor LE Conradi acquired the property for the Seventh-day Adventists and co-founded the Waldfriede Hospital, which opened there on April 15, 1920 with 39 beds in 27 sick rooms and an operating theater. Despite several hundred air raids by the Allies on Berlin , the hospital buildings survived the Second World War unscathed and were expanded several times in the following decades with new buildings.

In September 2000, the Waldfriede hospital was the first hospital in Germany to open a baby hatch . The cradle can be reached from the main entrance as well as from a side entrance on Argentinische Allee. The hospital also offers anonymous births .
