actually, a lot of patients might find that helpful for their mental peace when they recover a bit. but yes, it's a bit too bright. not that it's a big deal, you can always use heavy curtains to block all lights from outside.
As an East German native I can say: VEB is Volkseigener Betrieb which is 'Company owned by the people' and was a legal structure often times housed by a Kombinat. Capitalist equivalent: VEB amounts to Limited company maybe and Kombinat to cooperation.
This looks so familiar. Geez! I've been to places like this myself at my job in Norrköping, Sweden. It was an old hospital converted into a retirement home. Now it's torn down and gone, but I can still get the feeling of walking around and helping with computers and networks. Interesting how things can look so similar between Germany and Sweden sometimes. Great video as always!
9:19 definitely indicates a set of people learning German, clearly quite young. They wanted to write "we were here" which should be "Wir waren hier". 'Wahren' doesn't exist as a verb. Probably the cutest graffiti you've ever found :D
12:45 PSA, if you run across disused medical imaging equipment, particularly older equipment, please report it to local nuclear regulatory authorities. They ususally have tip lines specifically for this. Medical imaging equipment (among other medical devices) often contain pieces of radioactive material for various reasons, and if these devices are improperly disposed of, that nuclear material becomes an orphan source; a source of potentially dangerous amounts of ionizing radiation that us unaccounted for. People have died from this. Stay safe out there
Kyle Hill made a video about a really tragic incident in Brazil 1987 which shows what can happen if radioactive material from medical equipment gets into the wrong hands: ua-cam.com/video/-k3NJXGSIIA/v-deo.html
In this particular case, I bet you money any radioactive isotopes have been removed - they take that sort of stuff very serious in Germany and generally in Western Europe. You will also not likely find patient data like we've seen in so many abandoned clinics and hospitals in the US because its a criminal offense to mishandle such data in most parts of Europe, especially in the EU where privacy laws are very strict.
@@MegaPepsimaxThese organisations likely won't care and even if they do all they can consider it be is trespass. In most countries (I believe including Germany) trespass is only a criminal matter if you're asked to leave and refuse, they've already left without causing any damage so there really is no crime.
While those things exist, CAT scan machines use röntgen tubes which are completely inert when turned off and not trivial to get going. MRI scanners use no radiation at all, just magnetic fields that are quite strong - and also gone once the helium is removed from the system and the mains is turned off.
As a hospital engineer I only see hard ceilings, no interstitial spaces for engineering. No drop ceilings concealing heating and air conditioning, electrical and communication systems. I also see the structure is steam heated. It also has led exam lights, and surgical lights. This structure has been well preserved and shows the lack of graffiti and damage. I am currently in process of closing and decommissioning of a hospital right now, and I am the one that shutting down all the infrastructure. I’m at the beginning of what you are seeing now.
Fantastic explore lads. Great to see it untouched by vandals, and some of the colour and light in the rooms was beautiful. One of your best finds this.
Thank you for another top notch piece of work. As usual, great video and audio quality. This is still my favorite channel to unwind to, after a long week. The Proper People and a cold beer and I'm good.
What you are doing is preserving actual history, the feel of it, the sensation of having been there. I see your art as historic journalism. Just imagine had you been able to record the very room The American Declaration of Independence was signed in before it was changed from its existing state. Pay no attention to the self righteous trolls, of they disagree with your work why are they here? They can click on videos of people shoeing horses. Godspeed, welcome to your wonderful work, just be careful.❤❤❤❤
It always amazes me seeing how European buildings decay so much slower than most American buildings. I love every vid you guys post. I've been watching for years and I love the vibe I get from them. peace
This building was used up until very recently... and if you noticed in the hallway outside the morgue there were water stains on the lower edges of the angled ceiling tiles, something is leaking.
The ambiance is kinda mesmerizing to watch with your trademark calm live narration 😌 Some commenters felt it was eerie, I didnt. Its empty but I can imagine it being a decent place to heal in its heyday, even if a bit dated, it probably had some charm to it when it was busy.
While I don't necessarily disagree with your assessment that this place is "liminal," it does, for me, elicit a very eerie feeling, as most abandoned hospitals do. Perhaps it's just the feeling I have that all hospitals are haunted places, but this is a venue I would not want to explore alone, especially at night.
In 2013 an acquaintance of mine had an operation in this hospital where I visited her and one of my aunts worked there or rather in the newer building next to it. Quite a hill to get to on a bike, lol.
4:29 Hey guys!.. What you have there in your hand, is in actual fact LENTILS and is a legume.. They are very popular here in South Africa where I'm from and makes for delicious foods from curries to stews!.. Great video, as usual!.. Thanks for uploading!..
Bro, check out the east coast of Canada. Cape Breton in particular. Theres a ton of old WW2 military bases on the sides of cliffs youd be interested in. I stopped going down on one site after the 4th level. This is where Germany would have possibility started the invasion of N.A. and we knew it. German subs sank a ton of ships here. ✌️
Another GREAT explore Brian and Michael! You two are my favorite explorers! 🎉 On another note; I'm currently watching The Brothers of Decay doing a guided tour of Lynnewood Hall in PA. I hope you catch it if you haven't already. Your amazing explore of this beautiful, iconic mansion was top notch. It's fun to see all that it's Preservation Foundation has accomplished since. Take care you two and safe travels/God Speed. ❤
It's interesting how each clock displays a totally different time! It's as if the power was shut off one section at a time in the building. Love the view of the inner workings of the scanner (14:11). I used to vibration test machines like that on large shaker tables with response accelerometers attached to various internal components. Very interesting work!
They all seem to have stopped within about 20 minutes of each other! --Right after I commented this there is a clock on the 3rd floor with an hour difference and one on the 4th floor with 4 hour difference
@13:26 I used to work with these Tomoscan consoles to fix the large magnetic optical drives connected to these devices. These should be connected to a nearby large cabinet with an image processor sitting in the corner on the right.
Pristine Condition! First time seeing a building with no broken glass or Graffiti! Stark contrast to abandoned buildings in North America.....and the colors of all the wings are so soothing. It's really a shame how North American culture devalues anything no longer in use. This building at least has a Hope of being reused.....
I'm a fan of Urbex videos in general (shout-out to Urbex Hill), but somehow just started watching this channel recently. Generally, I really like it with my only small complaints being 1) the random "ominous" music, and 2) when the audio completely drops out to a surprising silence. I like the ambient sounds of abandoned places. That's just small stuff, though - I'll definitely be subbing and marathoning the old videos! Thanks, guys!
День тому+1
Thank you for the great Christmas gift. Excellent exploration
Love seeing such intact places like this. It's almost as if time stopped. You don't see that a lot in the US, unfortunately. Another great trip guys! Happy Holidays!
If even abandoned hospitals in Germany are this clean, imagine what our active hospitals look like. 😄 Just kidding. But it is interesting how home-y this feels to me as an East German. Also my late father loved the "clean, neat clocks" you talked about. Glad you like them too.
14:13, Zutritt verboten - access forbidden. Just FYI. You guys have great stuff! Thanks. But wait, there's more; 18:49, original floor, judging by size I bet these are older asbestos tiles. I've seen them many times in green.
It's so neat and clean. Not used to seeing abandoned places like this. Most have been trashed inside. The pool was probably used for physical therapy. Are the lights on, or is that natural sunlight? Everything looks so sterile and institutional.
13:27 Phillips product from 1998. My guess would be after a handful of years after reunification the hospital finally received western technology upgrades and it had probably been there since.
I had never seen a CT console with what appears like a floppy disk drive. All of the CT units I had ever seen, starting from the GE 8800, which utilized a Data General computer, all have had tape media. Picker PQ 2000 had 8mm digital tape. "Tape, tape, tape...."

@@mfree80286 Agreed, understood the machine would have had an HDD to boot and operate from. Floppy or tape to transfer files to/from external systems. Thank you.
The eerie silence in this abandoned hospital is haunting. The history behind these walls-where miners once sought care-is chilling. You can almost feel the stories trapped in the air. What an incredible find!
11:36 i belive these type of doors are rather common around central europe. often saw them being used in offices, i suppose its to help keep conversation private or to insulate the sound from the hallways?
I love the proper people hey guys you should come back to Buffalo New York. There’s still tons of nice places. I bet you could explore. 👋 love you guys
And yet our brand new hospital and sciences center at the university where I live already have rust stains running down the sides of the buildings...the signs are still up proudly showing the contributions to build it from the provincial and federal government. Canada.
@@alsanova They definitely changed it recently. Although the elements of the design are similar, the previous logo almost looked like a restroom sign, the new one looks more like a PED Xing sign.
14:12 Zutritt verboten = entrance forbidden/no entry. Literally translated as 'To tread' German and english are often surprisingly alike, once you start hearing the ways they sound alike. Zu, spoken as 'tsu', sounds close enough to 'To'. Tritt - Tread speaks for itself. Verboten is also the same, just with some vowels swapped around.
Hermoso edificio. Se podría convertir en viviendas con un supermercado y otros servicios. Pero si lo dejan así termina vandalizado. Es cuestión de cambiar puertas y abrir otras logrando conectar piezas y hacer cocinas y baños.
The hospital was state-of-the-art when it was built for the East German people of the DDR. Of course, it was Communist-built and of high standards, which was very unusual for an East German hospital. It had some of the best doctors and nurses in the Communist bloc. Many people from other East German cities went there for surgery, and many doctors from around the world were trained in that hospital. Cuban doctors and those from some other Communist countries were educated there. However, that hospital had a strange aspect regarding practices on certain items and unique surgeries. There are a couple of documentaries in German about East German hospitals; you could say they're at a different standard in some places.
Germany has much uranium, it was one of the biggest contributors to the soviet nuclear industry and East Germany was thus the 4th largest uranium producer in the world. Saxony and Thuringia (the latter is where the hospital is located) were full of uranium mines. Uranium was ironically called "the ore for peace". Entire settlements were built for the uranium industry workers. In the town where this hospital is located (Gera) there is an entire district (Bieblach, which was only a small village until Wismut came, went to become a district comprising several tens of thousands of inhabitants, around 10,000 of which still live there to this day) that was built for Wismut workers which went to work in Ronneburg (where the mine was located), it had an own mining school (now a technical occupational school) and apprentice dormitories (now a nursing home), an own swimming hall (not there anymore) and of course the hospital complex shown in the video. It was a major industry. The uranium mines were closed after the annexation. Other sites of uranium mining were in Saxony with comparable infrastructures to support the business.
Love how intact everything was and no grafitti
I know, that is the best kind of place to explore. Well sometimes it's nice to see a building a little dilapidated but.
Ya kinda refreshing, isn't it?
There will be next time 😥
Take a shot every time they say "Refugees" in this video
Feels like a very light and spacious building.
For a hospital ,it's bright and a lot of natural light coming through there
Hi
actually, a lot of patients might find that helpful for their mental peace when they recover a bit. but yes, it's a bit too bright. not that it's a big deal, you can always use heavy curtains to block all lights from outside.
The yellow was uplifting.
many hospitals here in germany are actually rather colorful.. different feeling than it is with the white walls.. :D
Thanks!
Wow thank you so much, and happy holidays!
You are awesome kate!
Dang they keep this facility nice and clean even when abandoned. That’s how all buildings should be treated
As an East German native I can say: VEB is Volkseigener Betrieb which is 'Company owned by the people' and was a legal structure often times housed by a Kombinat. Capitalist equivalent: VEB amounts to Limited company maybe and Kombinat to cooperation.
I love these old Cold War era buildings, just something about them.
This looks so familiar. Geez! I've been to places like this myself at my job in Norrköping, Sweden. It was an old hospital converted into a retirement home.

Very sweet graffiti
i guess they had a large oncology word...
I am impressed with how clean it was without any signs of vandalism.
It's Germany. They still enforce their laws unlike the USA since MAGA and the Supreme Court destroyed respect
My guess is there's not many blacks around if any.
This is cool man! Everything still intact, there’s so many natural light in this hospital, is kinda giving the comfort, warm feeling.
Excited for another exploration! Also loving the new logo!

Seeing an 8" floppy drive in the wild is amazing! @13:22 Those things are super old and super rare
In 2020, one of my people ended up in a hospital in Riga, Latvia. This abandoned hospital looks more cheery than the one he was in.
Still bringing the bangers after all these years. Thanks guys!
14:15 - Zutritt verboten is 'Access prohibited'
13:27 8 inch floppy drive in the console of that CT scanner!
It's an interesting choice for a 1990's machine, to be sure.

Or woke up...
