Special Exhibition: Between Wellness and Madness

The Schöneberg Museum presents a special exhibition focusing on Dr. Eduard Levinstein’s "Maison de Santé," a private clinic founded in 1861. Once a small spa facility, it grew into an internationally renowned psychiatric institution that remained in family hands until 1919. The exhibition explores how the clinic blended traditional spa treatments with the cutting-edge medical technology of the late 19th century. Visitors will learn about the history of nerve and mental health treatments during a time of significant medical transition. It offers a fascinating look into the social and medical history of the Schöneberg district and its influence on modern psychiatry.
