Berghof Sanatorium

Berghof Sanatorium was a health resort located in the Bavarian Alps, primarily known for treating tuberculosis patients in the early 20th century. Founded by Dr. Hermann Brehmer in 1857, it utilized the region's healthy climate and fresh air as part of its treatment philosophy. The sanatorium became famous for its innovative approaches to care, emphasizing rest, nutrition, and exposure to the outdoors. Over time, it also became associated with the Nazi regime, as it served as a retreat for prominent figures, including Adolf Hitler. Today, it stands as a historical site reflecting both health care and political history.
