Exploring a Doctor's Abandoned House - Found Medical Rooms

[@TheProperPeople]

Happy New Year! Just want to let everyone know that we're planning to take a short break from posting in January. We'll be back to our regular 2 videos a month in February. But don't think this is a break for us, we'll be out filming all new content to share with you in the upcoming year. We're excited to see where 2022 brings us and share it with all of you. While we're out filming, take a look at our new photo prints available and decorate your walls with photos of abandoned buildings! theproperpeople.com/shop/

A German perspective for all those saying what improper people their children must be: Land property taxes are considerable here in Germany, and also the cost to merely keep the essentials running to prevent it from rotting are quite steep if you don't actually use the space. For the latter, you would probably have to invest way North of 50k, more like 150k minimum to make it livable in modern times. (Or rather even legal to live in.) It looks like the last owners didn't do ANYTHING after the 50s or 60s. You would have to replace all electrical wiring down to the street level entry point, including outlets and breakers and all that, possibly also all water piping, replace all windows with double- or triple-pane, the COMPLETE heating system (incl. the radiators), redo and insulate all the roofs, possibly also the outer walls, and also convert all the medical rooms back to appartment style. This house is nothing but a thousand miles deep money pit, as sad as it is. All this is assuming that all the legal questions about the inheritance have been worked out, which can be really complicated, especially if the heirs are at odds with each other. There is also a tax for inheriting things, and especially in such cases, it can easily result in financial nonsense to even accept the inheritance. It might actually be that keeping it in a "legal limbo" is the most sensible thing to do, from the POV of the children. As far as I can tell, the mistake was already made by the previous owners, in that they didn't even attempt to keep the house updated, even in the most basic aspects. It probably was technically a ruin, financially speaking, when the old lady still lived there. Saving it even back then would have taken someone with a deep affection for it, and even deeper pockets. It would have been a project of love, not one of fiscal sanity.

[@LieutenantDan894]

Would have been a beautiful house if it were updated.

[@modernica]

Thank you for your perspective.

[@reinermiteibidde1009]

I believe it has been bought by the state at some point because of it's historical value ("Denkmalschutz"). As far as I know they have been trying to renovate it for years now but there is not enough funding/too much bureaucracy involved. Easyest way would be to find a new private owner who is willing to pay the money himself (this has worked for all the mansions next to it). Sadly this place is too much of a trainwreck, as @Fonk Badonk already stated. The town this house rots in is full of lost places BTW, so that is another reason for the current state. I already visited their abandoned hotel, their "Wandelhalle" and this mansion of course. I havent been there for a while now but I'm sure things have not changed much. You will find countless news-articles about their lost places too if you are willing to do a bit of research. Really interesting stuff if you only know the shining "fassade" of this town. Damn, my english is rusty...

A professional medical person in those days would need to have a lot of reference materials (books, journals, periodicals, etc.). Remember that we didn't have the internet yet!

Such a pity the children gave up on the house, I would have at least tried to sell it or save it, it was too interesting for just letting it rot. And holy crap the doctor sure had lots of books.

Probably some worth a lot of money. Technical books especially medical are not cheap.

Those x-rays are called KUBs (kidneys, ureters, bladder) and are useful for seeing certain types of kidney stones as well as outlining the urinary tract when contrast dye is injected into the urethra (a technique called a retrograde pyelogram).

[@AdventurersFortune]

Here in Germany, this place seems to be very popular among some urbexers, especially the history behind it. When I did my research a few months ago, I came across hundreds of pages of internet forums discussing the family history of the owners, which appears to be quite unusual and eventful. Of course, that brought up many crazy theories and some attention to the place. It’s not exactly well hidden also. So the place was trashed pretty soon and apparently it got even worse lately. Telling from the latest pictures I saw, it’s not even worth a visit anymore. Really a shame. However, wonderful video as always. Glad you could document it soon enough. Greetings from Germany, Oliver.

[@corralmrozik7180]

Do you have links or resources to share on the family history? I’m always interested in things like that! Don’t know who the family was though? Even just that information would be helpful, thanks!

[@downunderdan5132]

This is what’s left of two people lives. Two highly educated and skilled contributors to the medical community. And just like that, it’s defiled. Sad that these knuckle dragging vandals can simply wreck two lifetimes of work in a matter of hours. Left unheated, it won’t take long before the rot sets in and it becomes a candidate to be ‘abgerissen’. Wish you guys had a notification mechanism when a place becomes abandoned so you guys get first dibs 😄😄 Love your content. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺

[@rainbowflowerpower4464]

Oh awesome another Aussie! And yes I do agree I wish there was a way for respectful explorers to get notified of places before they get vandalised.

[@Poteto420]

I just wanna say that you guys are the first urban exploration group I've seen that actually respects the locations they explore and are thoughtful about their actions while exploring. I have a lot of respect for you guys.

When my Mom died, I cleaned out her 2 bedroom apartment. I took what I could store as I had a small place. It cost me 1k to get her stuff out and I still had to leave a lot behind. You never know. Where could the kids put all of that stuff? Maybe the parents were in debt. You just don't know. Happy New Year!

[@JayneNicoletti]

@The Blue Max thank you so much! 😃

[@ladybelle6771]

You bring up a good point that most people wouldn’t consider. We shouldn’t bash the children without knowing the complete and total family history. It’s not always as cut and dry as not caring.

As a US citizen living in Germany, this was pretty wild. It definitely was a very beautiful house. Too bad it's in terrible shape now. Thanks for the tour! Be safe

[@arsenmorph]

It's sad to see what's happened to that house in the last few years. A friend of mine was there a few years ago and the surgery room was in a very well preserved state with the organs in the formaldehyde.

[@abbytheredwolf174]

I started watching this channel with my dad and many years later I still come back to watch these beautiful places and be intrigued by them tho I can’t explore

[@EverythingwithWheels]

Right! this channel is so addicting!

[@dylvasey]

In Europe, if the building is listed as historical and it would cost beyond your means to repair the house (or you just don't want too) a lot of people, especially within Germany, France & Switzerland will often leave the house to fall into disrepair knowing as soon as that happens you're free to tear it down and either sell the land for building, or build on it yourself. This happens a lot in the Alpine regions.

[@lajya01]

That happens in N. America too . Listed buildings must be restored with custom made materials and/or required highly specialized labour. They become too expensive to repair and unattractive for buyers (beside those who plans to let the building rot to get a demolition permit).

[@dylvasey]

@@lajya01 Exactly. It's sad to think how many wonderful buildings we've lost only to be replaced by concrete blocks.

[@jeanhansel5805]

This house us a famous urbex place in Europe. It is often nicknamed "Dr Anna's house", despite neither the husband nor the wife being called Anna. I saw it a few years ago on an urbex blog and it was in much better shape than now. It has been heavily vandalised and damaged by humidity since

[@JohnTheFrugalFatGuy]

When I was a kid in the '50s, docs always worked out of their houses. The good old days when they made house-calls too.

[@kimatlastlooks2915]

As a kid from the 70's who went to a doctor who worked out of his house, I confirm this was a thing back then.

[@paperpand13]

Every time I see this kind of whimsical decay I literally just think it's taken straight out of a horror video game

[@tjnucnuc]

Unfortunately there was a lot of pain and guilt in German families from that generation. I’m not very surprised the children left it. Sad to think about all the memories and lives lived left behind just to be vandalized.

[@Troppa17]

Happy New Year! Seems this doctor had a good taste: music, vine & books makes a awesome combination. 2:15 Didn't expact to see a ~50-80 year old Grotrian-Steinweg. Probably the most expansive piano I've ever seen in an abandoned place and hopefully someone will rescue it from complete destruction. It would be a real shame. 3:28 😂 Didn't expact that as well. It's basically my kitchen lamp. But mine is white in the middle and has two additional metal clamps to hold the flurencent tube in place.

[@soursopmcgee8682]

Yeah but what's the cost of restoration for that piano ?

[@Troppa17]

@@soursopmcgee8682 I'm not an expert but for what I saw it would be worth it in this condition. I think mainly the keyboard needs a overhaul, maybe some wooden parts had to changed and it obviously has to be adjusted and tuned. This will surely cost at least a couple of grands but if that will restore its sound you definitivly wouldn't make a loss on it. And btw sitting 30ish years in an abandoned place will make for a great story and restoring it maybe an unique sound.

[@Ganiscol]

That Odol mouthwash bottle with its bendy neck in the bathroom brings back childhood memories - that stuff had a harsh taste 😅

[@mckenziejeanne4508]

[@frankhellman6879]

Based on the exterior design, it may have been much more classical inside at one time. But between conversions to medical rooms and what appears to be the last owner's more modern taste, all those old details are gone. Given what it would have cost to redo the interior and the now surrounding build up, it's unlikely to survive.

[@sweetlemon1340]

I know this place for like 8 or 10 years and it is sad to see it in such a bad condition.

[@andriaduncan5032]

I think I've seen this place on some other urbex vid, and I think you're right, this place has been destroyed by vandals. As I recall, when previously explored, there was a lot more furniture, more of that vast hoard of books in the shelves, and the piano still worked.

[@NeilRoy]

"This dude was obsessed with books!" Ummm.... yeah, if it was from around 1982, that was where you got your knowledge from. The only electronics were television, telephone and radios. Computers available were early model IBMs, VIC-20, TRS-80s... no internet. No doubt he had A LOT of books covering a wide variety of topics, especially for his practice. Also, the X-Rays all bring of the crotch area makes sense, being that he was a urologist.

I applaud your hands off approach and just documenting the decay. You guys really respect the people that were there before you while the place was ‘alive’ and you leave it as is to let nature do her work. Fascinating and engrossing. Please mask up. Some of these places seem sketchy at best. And above all, be safe. Subscribed.

Same process in the US unfortunately. Extremely outdated and incoherent laws regarding how things are supposed to be passed down and distributed, something I have over 2 years experience dealing with now. 😭 I totally understand where these heirs are coming from, it cost me around $10,000 just to claim my own family's property from the state who created 5,000 hoops to jump through otherwise they suddenly own everything AND AFTER THAT NIGHTMARE you have to argue with your siblings about who gets what and it easily lands in court as it did in my case. Imagine spending 2 years doing paperwork with the state to own grandpa's car he wanted to pass down to you only for your asshole brother to come out of nowhere and try to claim it saying it's his!
