Trespassing in Bad Colberg: Abandoned clinic attracts intruders!

The former Median Clinic in Bad Colberg has been the focus of unwanted visits that have recently been brought up by the local police and mayor's office. Since its closure at the end of 2023, the clinic has become a site of unauthorized exploration. Mayor Christopher Other (CDU) reported several break-ins on the clinic grounds, which extend over eleven hectares and are currently being offered for sale. The owners, Median Klinik and the city of Heldburg, are actively negotiating to sell the site. Nevertheless, the “Lost Place” phenomenon is causing problems for the property.

As insuedthueringen.de reports, numerous “Lost Place” enthusiasts have made it a habit to explore the deserted terrain to explore. This community discovered the area about two and a half weeks ago, causing an increase in unauthorized visits that are a nuisance to the owner.

Trespassing in Bad Colberg

Last weekend, charges of trespassing were finally filed against the unauthorized intruders. According to freenet.de they stated that the object was listed as a lost place in various forums. However, the reality is different: the site of the former spa clinic is privately owned, and unauthorized entry constitutes trespassing in accordance with Section 123 I of the Criminal Code.

A legal expert advice on [anwalt.de](https://www.anwalt.de/rechtstipps/lost-places-harmloser-trend-oder-strafbares- Behavior-219281.html) makes it clear that entering such obscure locations is associated with risks. Before a visit, ownership should be clarified and, if necessary, permits obtained. Otherwise, visitors could face a fine or even imprisonment for up to a year. In addition, potential discoverers of lost places should be aware of the legal situation, which can also result in criminal consequences if property is damaged or stolen.

The “Lost Places” trend

Although exploring forgotten places is popular among photographers and adventurers, the trend also has legal pitfalls. Experts recommend that you do thorough research and seek legal advice before entering such places to avoid unpleasant surprises. In many cases it is advisable to take a look at the land register or obtain permission from the owner.

What is happening in Bad Colberg sheds light on the dark side of the lost place trend and reminds us that the adventure of discovery does not have to be without consequences. It still remains to be seen how the situation around the clinic will develop and whether the owners will take further measures to deter unwanted visitors.
