history

The building in the style of neoclassicism is part of an overall complex consisting of a main building, side wings, an auxiliary building, a gatehouse, a garage complex and a four- hectare park. It was created between 1906 and 1908 in the course of the development of the community, which its founder, Ferdinand Kindermann , had planned in detail. In the first plans, the sanatorium appears under the name House in the Sun , which is due to an exposed slope in the middle of the villa colony. The ensemble was a present for Kindermann's daughter Margarete. In 1899 she had married a doctor from Waldsieversdorf, Otto Friedrich, and from then on ran the house. Her guests include Julius Carl Raschdorff , Hans Fallada and Karl Liebknecht . The spa operation was discontinued at the end of the 1930s and the building came into the possession of the Prussian state .

In the era of National Socialism , the sanatorium served from 1938 as Reich leaders school the female labor service. In the last months of the Second World War it served as a hospital . Soldiers who were wounded in the fighting on the Oder from January 1945 came to Waldsieversdorf to recover. After the Red Army took over the place , it was used as a hospital for their soldiers.

Between 1949 and 1952 the building was used in different ways, for example as a holiday center for Berlin children. During renovations in 1951 and 1952, the loggias , among other things, were walled up. The building was used from the spring of 1953 by the NDPD , which set up its boarding school for National Politics in it. It lasted until the turnaround . The building then stood empty for a few years.

In December 1998 the Berlin company Heinz Müller bought the 48,500 m² property for 660,000 DM in an auction by the Treuhandanstalt . Müller has plans to set up a hotel with a restaurant there under the name Parkresidenz Waldsieversdorf and apartments in the former bathhouse. In 2015 it was reported that the renovation work was on hold, which Müller largely attributed to the fact that the building had been placed on the list of historical monuments in the course of the amendment of the Monument Protection Act in 2004 and that there were subsequently inconsistencies between monument protection and fire protection.
