history
The buildings were originally erected between 1863 and 1868 for use as a "county mental institution". The entire complex includes 27 buildings and the former asylum church. The buildings are grouped around four inner courtyards and have two or three floors.
After the " employment and work therapy oriented sanatorium and nursing home " opened in Mainkofen in 1911 , the first patients from Deggendorf were transferred there.
From 1933 the area was used as a Wehrmacht barracks . This was done in secret at first, as the Versailles Peace Treaty prohibited such institutions. In 1941 a pre-school for NCOs was also set up.
After the end of the Second World War in 1945, Eastern European refugees briefly used the houses, but soon homeless and Jewish survivors from the Theresienstadt, Auschwitz, Flossenbürg and Polish Jews were quartered there in “DP Camp 7”. From 1949, after the " DP Camp 7" was closed, German refugees found accommodation in the residential complex.
