Designated the Bone and Joint Hospital (Orthopedics)

The Martin Felix was a building of two parts of almost the same size. The ground floor of the northern half was occupied by the owners, except for one small room and the large dining room. Smaller dining rooms occupied the main floor of the other half of the hotel. The upper floors, three in the northern half and two in the southern, comprised a number of small and irregularly placed rooms, some of which would accommodate not more than two beds. A large kitchen was located in the court. [Kaletzki, p. 33]
