Rothenburgsort Children's Hospital

In the former Rothenburgsort Children's Hospital, the National Socialists implemented their "euthanasia program" from the early 1940s.
Hildegard Thevs was able to research 33 names of murdered children.

A plaque on the building has commemorated the more than 50 murdered babies and children since 1999:

In this building
between 1941 and 1945
more than 50 handicapped children were killed.
An expert committee classified them
as "unworthy life" and assigned them
to be killed in specialized children's wards.
The Hamburg health administration
was involved in this.
Hamburg medical officers supervised
the admission and killing of the children.
Doctors of the children's hospital
carried them out.
None of those involved
was prosecuted for this.

Hans Tammling, born 5 June 1939 in Leer, East Frisia, killed 30 July 1942

Hans Bajo Eggen Tammling was born in June 1939 in Leer, East Frisia where his parents lived. At the time when he was born, there was no requirement to register children with a handicap. We do not know when or how he was taken to the Rothenburgsort Children’s Hospital. Three-year-old Hans was on the ward for young children when he was administered a fatal injection by Lotte Albers. Apart from the note "mentally underdeveloped”, there are no other indications as to his type of handicap or the actual cause of death on his death certificate.
