    Due to an increasing overload of psychiatric facilities in the Kingdom of Saxony, the construction of the Royal Saxon State Institution Gross-Schweidnitz near Löbau in Saxony began in 1898. The institute, with initially 34 buildings, was opened on April 1, 1902 and offered space for 524 people with curable and incurable mental illnesses.

    On May 1, 1939, Alfred Schulz was appointed director. For the T4 campaign, the institution under Director Schulz served as an interim institution for the Pirna-Sonnenstein killing center. From December 1943 there was a so-called "children's department" in the state institution under the direction of Arthur Mittag.
