They cared for children with “scrofula” from the Ruhrgebiet. Scrofula (also known as scrofulosis, from the Latin *scrofula*; “swelling of the neck glands”), also called scrofuloderma, is the historical term for a skin disease.
The historic buildings and a former drilling tower are visible from the spa gardens.
Today, the Children’s Specialized Clinic is a facility for the rehabilitation, preventive care, and medical treatment of children, adolescents, and young adults with mental and psychosomatic disorders.
The Children’s Specialized Clinic (formerly the Children’s Sanatorium) can only be viewed from the outside.
Unauthorized persons are not permitted to enter the premises.
