And don't forget that full-bodied green slime palate Vince!

Perhaps used to treat sick prisoners from a military stockade or a local prison? A simple detention area? No telling with some of these isolated military complexes. The Russian military occupied this for 50 years. For them, talking about anything was prohibited so some of this history may get lost forever.

Good question BKW! As you, I'll guess the corridor was too narrow to have them open into it, but they still needed them to open that direction so PTs could not barricade themselves in.

The green is making me feel so calm now. I'll stop trying to chew my way through the iron bars on the windows now.

A flat wooden form was likely used to hold up the brick as it was laid, and then removed after the mortar had set. Interesting how they are not arched a bit like some brick ceilings are.

Isolation areas huh? POWs, shell-shocked soldiers, or anyone "disliked" for that matter. I wonder if any old timers in the area have any stories? I would think so.

The metal scrappers missed some stuff! The zombies got them before they found these.

Yeah. I'll guess chairs to sit, and then maybe the windows were opened and the overhang kept rain out of the wards? Your historical account indicates that a warmer climate was preferred at first. Maybe the doctors were not fully sold on the cold fresh air treatments that seemed to be common here in the states?

Eastern Germany faces some tough challenges. Looks like any metal salvage available was very welcome. I guess history doesn't mean much when one has an empty stomach.

Sure is beautiful stuff Motts, absolutely. With so much old school craftsmanship in this complex, it would be great to see it get rescued.

There's no mystery m25pa. You know what did that!

I don't recall seeing transoms like that before. Very cool!

And it's rotting. Ouch!

That roof trussing is awesome! Red floor, blue benches, green ceiling. The decorator was from Warsaw.

This "might" had been where the TB patients were exposed to lots of cold fresh air. Practiced in many place globally, it must had soothed their lungs and aided recovery. I see no large double doorways to roll beds in and out however.
