From the Wiki
Beelitz-Heilstätten, a district of the town of Beelitz, is home to a large hospital complex of about 60 buildings including a cogeneration plant erected from 1898 on according to plans of architect Heino Schmieden.
Originally designed as a sanatorium by the Berlin workers' health insurance corporation, the complex from the beginning of World War I on was a military hospital of the Imperial German Army. During October and November 1916, Adolf Hitler recuperated at Beelitz-Heilstätten after being wounded in the leg at the Battle of the Somme.
In 1945, Beelitz-Heilstätten was occupied by Soviet forces, and the
complex remained a Soviet military hospital until 1995, well after the
German reunification.
In December 1990 Erich Honecker was admitted to Beelitz-Heilstätten
after being forced to resign as the head of the East German
government.
