Reserve Lazarette, Loben
The town of Lubliniec and psychiatric hospital.
Pre WWI, the German district of Lublinitz comprised of 3 towns and 66 rural communities. Lublinitz Stadt was one of the towns. In 1918, Poland regained independence and the town was renamed Lubliniec.
In 1939, Poland was invaded by Nazi Germany and the district reverted to Lublinitz. Lublintiz Stadt was renamed Loben in 1941. Soon after capturing the town, the Germans took over the local psychiatric hospital. Several hundred children were murdered there. There were also cases in which the brains of the murdered children were used for medical research in Wroclaw, as mentioned by Elisabeth Hecker, head of child psychiatry at the hospital since 1941.
