Pulmonary Hospital Kolkwitz

Former lung sanctuary
Today's Kolkwitz Clinic was formerly a pulmonary sanctuary for tuberculosis sufferers. At the end of the 18th century, many people contracted pulmonary tuberculosis. There were also more and more spa facilities in the forested lowlands (and no longer only at southern heights), including in Kolkwitz, because here too the good, fresh air in the area promoted the recovery process. The initiator C.F. Arnecke was able to convince the city of Cottbus and the Landesversicherungs-Anstalt of the advantages of the location. Building land and 500,000 Reichsmarks were made available for the project. The sanatorium was inaugurated on June 13, 1900 after just one and a half years. Shortly afterwards, Dr. Robert Koch and brought his developed tuberculin to the test, which was unsuccessful. During the Second World War, the sanatorium was mainly occupied by patients from the Cottbus Clinic, which was almost completely destroyed by a direct hit. From around 1970, more and more departments of the Cottbus Clinic moved to Kolkwitz, which also became an academy for medical training. Today, the lung healing facility belongs entirely to the Carl Thiem Clinic in Cottbus. With its park and towers, the building still looks almost like a fairytale castle today. (Landesbaurath Goecke was the author of the design of the plant, which was as picturesque as it was functional.) The park was designed under the technical direction of park director Georg Bleyer from Branitz, who was responsible for the picking intentions there.

During the GDR I occasionally visited this Institute, where pulmonologist Charkoff and I visited the patients every day. Each patient stood in front of his bed and talked about his illness. And waited to see what the doctor had to say. But the seriously ill patients simply stayed in bed.
