Tuberculosis hospital
Not far from the train station is the area of the former Hohenkrug lung sanatorium, built by Wilhelm Meyer-Schwartau, with a total size of around 22 hectares . Between 1915 and 1930 a tuberculosis sanatorium designed for 270 beds was built in Hohenkrug. Patients were treated according to the latest methods of the time. A modern, well-equipped operating wing with septic and aseptic operating theaters was set up. The remarkable architecture of the buildings and the centuries-old park with its special microclimate formed a picturesque setting for this therapy and rehabilitation complex. The first director of the sanatorium was the internist Hermann Braeuning , who was senior physician in Stettin and from 1911 to 1915 head of the tuberculosis outpatient clinic . Despite tight funds, bad economic times, inflation and the poverty of the population, he succeeded in turning the facility into a modern research, teaching and healing facility. The exemplary organization of the house attracted numerous doctors from home and abroad. Patients with bone tuberculosis could also be helped. At the beginning of 1930 the treatment of urogenital cases also became possible.
Therapeutic methods

Initially, the treatment of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis consisted mainly of isolation, rest, a high-calorie diet and symptomatic therapy . Irritation therapy with tuberculin injections and light exposure was also used. This stimulation has gradually been supplanted by surgical treatment. These included pleurolysis and thoracoplasty with severing or resection of the ribs, as well as unilateral shutdown of the diaphragm to reduce the so-called respiratory trauma by squeezing the phrenic nerve or phrenicotomy in the neck area. During the Second World War, the Wehrmacht set up a military hospital in the Hohenkrug sanatorium. After the war, pulmonary tuberculosis became a problem again. The authorities of the People's Republic of Poland opened a tuberculosis sanatorium with 400 beds in the same building in 1949. The basic therapeutic concept was similar to that of the pre-war period. Only the routine use of anti-tuberculosis in the 1950s brought a radical change in the fight against tuberculosis.
A special department was set up in 1958 for the growing number of patients with urogenital tuberculosis . Its initiator and first director was Prof. Alfons Wojewski (1912–1992). He was followed in 1962 by Dr. Marian Gondzik (1920-1997). In animal experiments, he demonstrated that tuberculosis infection is possible during coitus .

Today the hospital in Hohenkrug - Szpital Zdunowo - is an independent health system with departments for tuberculosis, internal medicine and orthopedics. In West Pomerania it is the only facility that offers surgical treatment of malignant lung tumors in conjunction with primary or complementary chemotherapy.
