In the beginning of XX century, child morality sharply increased, and, as a consequence, in 1909 the first municipal hospital for children was built in Prussia to tackle this problem. It was one of the best places of a kind, and it remained so for almost 100 years, until the closure on the 1st of January, 1997. Since that moment, a padlock appeared on the gate. A building without the owner was crumbled away with age, when in 2005 it became property of a Russian investor. However, the company could not perform its renovation duties, so there was no progress in the situation.
