The Waldniel Hoster School



The Waldniel Hoster School overwhelmed by stories of mass murder. Even it is said children’s cries have been heard rattling everywhere around the site where mentally disabled children were killed by the Nazis

In 1913, the huge complex consisting of a church, a school was 
and several administrative buildings, built by the Franciscan Order. 
The object of the Franciscan brothers was to be around the 600 residents 
to take care of the plant, where it is severely disabled and 
those with learning difficulties men acted. 

The coming to power of the Nazis in Germany, all was then tries 
institutions of the Catholic Church influence. This happened 
from 1935 to 1937 by an avalanche of lawsuits. 
The Franciscan Order was sued for breach of exchange high 
to pay fines. Several monks were in the "Koblenz 
sentenced processes "because of sex crimes. For the state was 
reason enough not to stay wards in 
finance Waldniel-Hostert. 



The Order finally had bankruptcy login and so left the last monks 
on 23 May 1937, the house. 

The site has now been "Children technical institution Waldniel" used as a healing and nursing home. 
The "Guardian Angel House" of the Franciscans was now for the "child euthanasia" 
used - the murder of mentally handicapped children to 
race cleanup. 

1939 reporting requirement for all newborns who were disabled was introduced. 
These and older children were from 1940 by the Nazis in specially 
established for this purpose killing centers, the so-called 
children's wards (KFA) was added. There were about 30 of these 
institutions in the entire Nazi dominion. 

In Waldniel-Hostert for this purpose, the former "Guardian Angel House" was 
the Franciscan brothers to such a facility with 200 beds 
rebuilt. Patients were here first "begutachtetet" to 
be subsequently gassed with carbon monoxide. 

The killing of certain minors were each 3-5 
Luminal tablets. As a result, they fell asleep first. Immediately after 
waking up but once they got a dose of Luminal. This was 
repeated until they were finally unconscious, shortness of breath 
got started gasping and then miserably with mucus discharge from 
the mouth and nose died. So an ordeal could, depending on the constitution 
of the child take up to 8 days. 

In early July 1943, the KFA Waldniel-Hostert was disbanded because of the war. The 
183 children who had survived until then were, in other 
brought "departments". Overall, died during the KFA 
97 children Waldniel-Hostert. In the death certificates was at 
wasting, pneumonia, on cardiovascular weakness and 
the like. 

After the 2nd World War, then got the Franciscan brothers back the terrain. 
Financially, it was no longer acceptable and therefore they sold it 
to the federal government, which in turn for 37 years on the British 
leased. From the plant was now the "British Military Hospital 
Hostert "consisting of a polyclinic with two operating rooms, delivery rooms 
and Surgery, interior, pediatric and psychiatric 
departments. 

As of 10/09/1963, the system was then used as a British school. It was rebuilt, 
two gymnasiums, an auditorium and a canteen were added. In the Kent School 
in 1400 young people were taught. 270 of them were in there 
live Internat. 

It is repeatedly reported that it on the site and in the empty 
corridors of the building is haunted standing. You can often child cries and 
hear loud weeping.
