A World-Class Hospital With Hotel-Like Looks

Ideally located in the middle of the Thuringian Forest in the Saale-Holzland district, Waldkliniken Eisenberg is the largest Orthopedic Centre in Germany with an internationally known professorship for Orthopedics at the University of Jena. The objective behind the design of the new building was to positively influence the relationship between the physical space and human wellbeing. The architecture and interior of the new hospital building is such that it convinced the Ministry of Thuringia to declare it as the most ecological, sustainable and economical concept.
