Special Exhibition: Between Wellness and Madness. Dr. Levinstein's Maison de Santé

In 1861, Dr. Eduard Levinstein founded a spa and bathing facility in Neu-Schöneberg, which he eventually expanded into the internationally renowned private clinic 'Maison de Santé'. This institution served as a specialized facility for those suffering from nervous and mental conditions until 1919. The exhibition showcases how Levinstein’s clinic combined traditional curative methods with cutting-edge medical technology of the era. Visitors can explore the transition from classic bathing treatments to the use of modern medical apparatus. It provides a fascinating historical glimpse into the evolving practices of psychiatry and health care in 19th-century Berlin.
