The Pink Giant

Beelitz-Heilstätten is the unfortunate location where the “Beast of Beelitz” went on a killing spree over five years, eventually killing a total of five women. She was eventually caught masturbating at the hospital and arrested. She was also nicknamed the “Pink Giant” due to her size and propensity to steal pink lingerie. Since 2009, she has undergone hormone treatment for gender reassignment. She is still in prison to this day.

These are some photos I took whilst at the now abandoned hospital recently.

Beelitz-Heilstätten

I went on a bike trip from Berlin to Beelitz-Heilstätten, an abandoned military hospital. This was where Adolf Hitler was unfortunately repaired after having his ball blown off during World War 1. Later, it was used as a Nazi military hospital, and afterwards served as a military hospital for the Soviet Union until the 1990’s. Now it is simply a collection of spectacular ruins.

Stairs. Most of the stairs seem fairly stable, but explorers should be darned careful.

Most of the windows are broken.

We were told that we wouldn’t be able to go in as the area was blocked off and not open to individuals. But we just kept walking on into the grounds expecting to see a sign or fence indicating where we weren’t allowed, but never saw anything of the sort.
