Sanatorium Bismarckhöhe / Sanatorium Finkenwalde / Kinderheim Bismarckhöhe from Hökendorf (now Bukowe-Klęskowo) on the extension of Mączna Street (German: Mühlenstraße). In 1900, Lindtner, MD, bought land from the municipality of Hökendorf with the intention of opening a clinic-sanatorium. Carl Kelm supervised the design and construction of the "Sanatorium Finkenwalde" complex, and in 1902 the complex was opened. It included a winter and summer pavilion connected by a corridor leading to a large, glass dining room. It also had electricity, and the specialists employed there were among the most respected in their profession. From 1910, the sanatorium was called "Bismarckhöhe". During World War I (1914-1918) it was closed, but after its end, patients returned to it for four years. In the years 1923-29, the facility was transformed into a municipal orphanage and operated under the name "Kinderheim Bismarckhöhe". In 1926, the facades of the buildings were rebuilt, the facades were plastered, and all ornaments and embellishments were removed. In 1929, an old people's home was built there and the concrete wheelchair ramp built in 1930 has survived to this day. In 1937, a highway was built in the immediate vicinity of the complex. The last trace of "Bismarckhöhe" is an address book from 1943. Unfortunately, the only information is that the owner was the town of Stettin at that time.
The "Bismarckhöhe" buildings survived the war in March 1945, but at the turn of the 1940s and 1950s they were demolished by the inhabitants. The entrance gate pillars (one is still standing), the already mentioned wheelchair ramp and fragments of the building's foundations remain to this day.
