Kaufbeuren Institution
The Kaufbeuren-Irsee sanatorium, which had been treating patients with physical and mental illness since 1876, became one of the institutions in the T-4 euthanasia program under its director, Dr. Valentin Faltlhauser. Patients destined for gassing at Grafeneck and Hartheim passed through Kaufbeuren, and in 1942 Faltlhauser began killing patients by lethal injection. He also devised a starvation diet which soon came into wider use at other institutions practicing euthanasia.
