The Pioneer Camp was a children's recreation area from the former GDR. It served mainly the children of employees of large companies that ran these camps as part of their social welfare. There were accommodation buildings, common rooms and sports or leisure areas. The stay combined games, excursions and collective education, often linked to the pioneer traditions of the time. After the change in political circumstances, operations ceased and the building gradually fell into disrepair; today it is mostly abandoned and resembles a typical recreational facility of its time.

The former company holiday home has stood abandoned for more than 20 years. The last owner, who used the property until the late 1990s, had difficulty making the building complex profitable or selling it. After the house accumulated debts of at least DM 30,000 per month, the owner reportedly hanged himself in the house's swimming pool, according to relevant online forums. However, this could not be verified. Since 1993, the building was occupied by the Federal Border Guard for a year. In November 2020, a fire completely destroyed the roof structure. Eighty firefighters battled the blaze.

The now dilapidated building was built in the 1960s as one of twelve reserve hospitals in case of war. It was fully equipped at the time, but no patient was ever treated there. These buildings were prepared for crisis scenarios, and had to be ready for patients within days if needed, but were kept out of the public eye.

In the Karlovy Vary Region there is a former abandoned hospital, which was built around 1890 and closed in 1958. After the closure of the hospital, a private nursing home is said to have operated here until 1990, since when the building has been empty. Sources also mention that the building housed the German Lebensborn association during 1938-1945 and before that it was a sanatorium run by the Knights of Malta, which was sold after 1926.
