The old chapel of the "provincial insane asylum" Weilmünster.
I assume that the following text found on the net refers to this chapel.
Otherwise, please correct me.
On September 26, 1943, the Catholic chaplain Walter Adlhoch read a pastoral letter condemning the murder of patients (which did not only happen here in this clinic).
The prison chapel was then closed and immediately served as an extension of the morgue.
In addition, a dissection room was set up in the left rear room until a few years ago. I have pictures of this in my fund, but unfortunately I can't post them because of third-party copyrights.
Really creepy, isn't it?

The building is not the chapel but the mortuary located slightly behind it.
