Little remains of the 1930s KhTZ Hospital Complex has survived, and the most interesting part is the hospital staff housing building at Louis Pasteur Street, 6.

What surprises me most is how low the front door is.

The entrance may have been below ground level originally, with a ramp leading down to it—but later it
was paved over, and the very small entrance door had to be installed. Similar building entrances could be found in the “Sotnya” block. The building is also notable for its compact size and the stair railings, characteristic of Constructivist buildings.

The boiler room was located on the side of the building (the chimney is still there). This building also housed a library on the ground floor, with its entrance in the building’s staircase.

The balconies were also originally unglazed.

Two more hospital constructivist buildings can be found in this neighborhood.

One is semi-abandoned and in poor condition, but it looks the same as in the 1930s.

The second building houses a private manufacturing facility, and the old structure is now unrecognizable thanks to its modern finish.

In the thickets south of the clinic, you can also find the ruins of the hospital’s boiler room.

The only thing left standing here is the chimney.

It is surprising how far the hospital was located from the main complex of KhTZ buildings originally—a German photograph from 1941 shows that a large field separates them.

Perhaps the original plan was to locate the hospital as far away as possible from the factory’s harmful emissions.
