history

Foundation of the Kaiser Franz Josef Hospital

When an epidemic such as the Blattern broke out in Vienna , there was usually not enough space in the existing hospitals to take in the sick, and emergency hospitals like the one in Zwischenbrücken in 1892 ( Engerthstrasse  105; today 99-105, construction sections 25, 30, 33) or the Meidlinger emergency hospital. Another relevant hospital - the so-called “Communal Epidemic Hospital” - was located not far north of the later Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Spital at Triester Straße  42, today the area of ​​the Martin Luther King Park . In 1872 this location was confirmed by the local council and construction for 800,000 guilders was envisaged. The aim of the project was to relieve the facilities previously designated for the treatment of epidemic cases. When the institution opened on May 1, 1873, the admission of sick people to the epidemic hospitals in Zwischenbrücken and the Blattern municipal hospital on Wieden, Karolygasse 11 ( Graf-Starhemberg-Gasse  11), was suspended. The Communal Epidemic Hospital (sometimes also Pockenhaus or Infection Hospital) has been closely connected to the Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Spital in its history. Not only because of its location - undeveloped parts of the property were ceded in favor of the large hospital to be built - but also because of the temporary status of a branch hospital , whose special outpatient clinic was expanded in 1921 to include the treatment of sexually ill men. The building, for which a replacement location had been sought (unsuccessfully) by 1909 at the latest, was exposed to mixed use: From January 1, 1912, it housed a shelter for the homeless , opened by Richard von Bienerth-Schmerling , the governor of Lower Austria . Among other things, seven dormitories and ten family apartments were adapted for 400 people. According to Felix Czeike , the epidemic hospital closed in 1925, the demolition of the building (s) is likely to have only been completed in the 1930s.

In 1879 the search for a suitable location to build a Blattern Hospital began. At the same time, the communal epidemic hospital was invoiced and administered by the kk hospital fund. On December 27, 1882, the construction of the infection hospital in the open fields in front of the Matzleinsdorfer line was approved. The Imperial and Royal Ministry of the Interior decided on March 21, 1884 to build a fourth Imperial and Royal Hospital (after the Vienna General Hospital , the Imperial and Royal Wieden Hospital and the Rudolfstiftung Hospital ).

Three years after the resolution passed in 1884 to build another hospital by the City of Vienna , construction work began in July of the same year after the authorization granted on June 27, 1887 to start construction. When the first pavilion with 60 beds was completed a year later - on October 22nd, 1888 - it was occupied by people suffering from leaf disease. According to a decree of the Imperial and Royal Interior Ministry, the hospital under construction was subordinated to the Wiedner Hospital. When it was abolished in 1889, the hospital under construction became independent. After the first pavilion was opened as “Hospital Favoriten”, it was renamed “4. kk hospital ". After a visit by Emperor Franz Joseph I on November 3, 1889, the hospital was renamed Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Spital on November 8, 1889. The official opening by the emperor took place on October 27, 1891. In addition to the seven pavilions with around 450 beds built by 1891, two more pavilions - the so-called Pollak children's pavilions - with a total of 100 cots were added from 1906. This was donated by the imperial councilor and trade assessor Bernhard Pollak. After a local inspection on November 4th, 1904, the Imperial and Royal Lieutenancy for Lower Austria issued the building permit on December 9th. Construction began in 1905. The opening of the two pavilions took place in 1906 at the request of the founder on August 18, the birthday of Emperor Franz Joseph I.

In October 1898, the last two plague patients died of pulmonary plague in the Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Spital with the nurse Albine Pecha and the internist Hermann Franz Müller . They were infected in the Vienna General Hospital while caring for an institute servant who had contracted the plague while caring for laboratory animals in the so-called “plague room”.

Use during the Second World War

Two pavilions of the hospital, which was handed over to the Reichsgau Vienna in 1938 after the annexation of Austria and renamed the “Robert Koch Hospital”, served as part of the Army Hospital IVa during the Second World War . In the last two years of the war, the hospital was almost completely destroyed by air raids, so that medical operations had to be stopped and the departments had to be relocated to other hospitals. Also during the time of National Socialist rule in Austria, the nearby Empress Elisabeth Wöchnerinnenheim of the “ Lucina ” association in Knöllgasse was affiliated with the Robert Koch Hospital at the time.

Reconstruction and modernization

The reconstruction of the hospital, which began after the end of the war, enabled the Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Hospital to gradually start operating in 1945. The reconstruction was largely completed in 1955, so that the outsourced departments could be moved back to their original location. Since the Gottfried von Preyer'sche Children's Hospital, also located in Favoriten , was provided with sufficient care, the children's department at the KFJ was closed. Since listening to the radio programs at the hospital beds in the Hera sanatorium had proven to be very effective, the correspondence from the town hall reported on August 6, 1953 that a company from Vienna had been commissioned to create the 800 beds of the Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Spital with one Equip radio connection. The work should be completed by autumn of that year. In 1986, the Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Spital was the first specialty hospital in Vienna to receive a psychiatric department with 50 beds in order to treat patients with acute and geriatric psychiatric diseases. In 1996 the Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Spital received a newly built institute for radiation oncology.

Since the newly built geriatric center was opened in 2003, the location has been renamed “Social Medicine Center South - Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Spital and Geriatric Center Favoriten”. Since 2005 the Social Medical Center South - Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Spital has been one of 17 members of the “Austrian Network of Health Promoting Hospitals and Health Institutions ÖNGK”, a sub- network of the WHO International Network of Health Promoting Hospitals.

Geriatric center

The geriatric center of the Social Medical Center South - Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Spital was planned together with the large kitchen between 1996 and 1999 and built from 1998 to 2003. At the same time, an underground car park with 402 parking spaces was built. The geriatric center, which is housed in a six-storey and a three-storey wing, houses 240 beds, an acute geriatric unit, therapy and treatment rooms and other rooms. The large kitchen is designed for 2,000 meals. The daily geriatric center Favoriten of the Vienna Social Fund is also connected to the geriatric center , in which the patients receive individual care during the day.

statistics

In 2006 the Social Medical Center Kaiser-Franz-Josef-Spital had an average of 715 beds and around 1908 employees. 30,105 patients were hospitalized.
