Former Kaiser Franz Joseph outpatient clinic and anniversary hospital

The Kaiser Franz Joseph Ambulatorium and Jubilee Hospital (originally Mariahilfer Ambulanz, later Kaiser Franz Joseph Ambulatorium) in Sandwirtgasse 3–5 in Vienna's 6th district was an outpatient clinic in Mariahilf . A hospital and a training center for medical students were later attached to it.

history

In 1874, 10 doctors, including Jakob Welcker, Heinrich Stanieck, Friedrich Fieber, Leopold Domeny and Carl von Rokitansky , founded an association and then an outpatient clinic to provide medical treatment to the poor population of Mariahilf. The first location of the Mariahilfer Ambulanz was at Mariahilfer Strasse 57, where one rented and the first director was Jakob Welcker. In 1876 he was succeeded by Heinrich Stanieck, who held this office until 1885.

The two urology departments that existed at the Kaiser Franz Joseph outpatient clinic received new primary physicians in 1907, namely Hugo Schüller and Georg Kapsammer.

In 1885 the Mariahilfer Ambulanz moved to Esterhazygasse 31. In the same year Leopold Domeny became the third director. On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph I , the ambulatory was renamed the Emperor Franz Joseph Ambulatory .

In order to finally be able to have their own premises, the house at Sandwirtgasse 3 was acquired. Three waiting rooms and seven treatment rooms were set up here. It also had an operating room, a laboratory and a lecture hall for lectures.

The request to create the possibility to admit patients as inpatients could not be complied with by the responsible authorities due to the spatial situation, so that a hospital with 44 beds was built on the neighboring property at Sandwirtgasse 5 according to plans by the architect Moses Max Löw , which opened on December 2, 1912. During the First World War it was made available to the Red Cross as a hospital .

The financial crisis also hit the institution, which is dependent on donations, hard. In 1934, for example, the previous public feed-out had to be stopped due to a lack of money .

After the connection of Austria to the Third Reich , the Mariahilfer outpatient clinic and the associated hospital of the city of Vienna was adopted on 25 November 1938, which can be passed to the main Versorgungsanstalt Ostmark planned. The buildings were used as a state investigation center for state officials and as a reserve hospital. Between 1947 and 1950 it was occupied by the French occupying forces, who used it as a hospital for women from the French military. After that the two buildings were empty.

In 1954 it was acquired by the Austrian Young Workers Movement and converted into a student residence.

The Mariahilfer Outpatient Clinic was both the location of one of 17 mother counseling centers of the people's sponsorship and the welfare center for lung patients for the VI. and VII. district . In addition to the two doctors, two caregivers and one auxiliary caregiver were employed at this welfare office. In addition, students from the social women's school, who were assigned to work here for training purposes, served here.

The buildings of the former Kaiser Franz Joseph outpatient clinic and anniversary hospital have been included in the Vienna cadastre of cultural assets as a key identity feature of the city of Vienna .

Training center

Since the doctors who work here free of charge more and more frequently relocated their lectures from the course catalog of the University of Vienna , the Kaiser Franz Joseph Outpatient Clinic and Jubilee Hospital soon assumed a similar function to the Vienna Polyclinic, even if the training center in Mariahilf was not due to the distance from the university so well received.

In addition, the doctors working here have published numerous scientific papers in German-language specialist journals, but also in France and Argentina.

Prominent doctors

Alfred Adler is one of the most prominent doctors who worked here . In 1927 he set up a permanent individual psychological outpatient clinic in a treatment room and in 1929 became the medical director of the Kaiser Franz Joseph outpatient clinic and anniversary hospital. Furthermore were here Lydia Safe and Margarete Hilferding worked.

statistics

Bed donors

At the Kaiser Franz Joseph Outpatient Clinic and Jubilee Hospital in Sandwirtgasse 3 - 5 in Vienna-Mariahilf, there was also the bed foundation to finance hospital operations. In the medical report published in 1935 for the year 1934, the bed foundations worth at least 15,000 schillings were only mentioned for historical reasons, since the foundation capital was completely devalued by inflation:
