The Kuranstalt Jungborn was a sanatorium that was founded in 1896 in the valley of the Ecker near Stapelburg by Adolf Just. It is considered Germany's first and largest natural healing institution. The facility was used for cures until the Second World War and was subsequently used for similar purposes. Because of its proximity to the inner-German border, the facility located on the territory of the GDR was completely removed at the beginning of the 1960s for reasons of border security.
