The children's hospital is an outstanding example of the architecture of Altona before the World War II. Plenty of details underline the bright character of the building, such as oriels, loggias, an archway, staircases, baroque towers and various architectural sculptures. The dominant part of the complex composes a cubical-shaped building with a cupola and columns. Also interesting: the eminent combination of the historical part (1914) and the modern building (2004) of the hospital.
