Karolinen Children's Hospital
The Karolinen Children's Hospital was a hospital in Vienna's 9th district, Alsergrund .
history
The former Karolinen Children's Hospital in Vienna goes back to the foundation in 1874 by Karoline Riedl († 1878) of a house in Schubertgasse 23 (then Schubertgasse 2) which was converted into a children's hospital with 24 beds , which was opened on November 1, 1879. In 1896 - made possible by other foundations - a new building for 50 beds was built. Another new building was built between 1912 and 1913 at Sobieskigasse 31 in Alsergrund by Eugen Fassbender and opened in 1914.
The children's hospital was designed by the founder, Karoline Riedl, to accept children of destitute parents who lived in the Lichtental parish or of orphans who were responsible for them.
1888 "was pleased His Majesty the Emperor" Franz Joseph I. "graciously" to arrange the hospital from 1888 to 1892 one-thirtieth and from 1893 for five years one-fortieth of the proceeds of the Schottenring built Sühnhauses to send.
When the city administration set up the child transfer point for the municipality of Vienna in Lustkandlgasse, this was done in consideration of the adjacent Karolinen Children's Hospital, which was expanded in 1923.
During the National Socialist era , the Karolinen Children's Hospital was also known as the Emil von Behring Children's Hospital .
On October 24, 1951, the Vienna City Hall correspondence reported the relocation of the hygienic and bacteriological examination facility temporarily housed in the Children's Hospital to the former women's department of the General Polyclinic of the City of Vienna in Feldgasse
In 1977 the Karolinen Children's Hospital was closed and the departments were relocated to the Wilhelminenspital .
