history

A precursor of the Klinikum Klagenfurt was the 1782-1784 established by the State of Carinthia infirmary at Heuplatz .

On August 9, 1896, the Klagenfurt State Hospital was opened. At that time the state charities were rebuilt and opened. These included the state hospital in Klagenfurt, the lunatic hospital, the children's hospital, the state hospital, the institution for the deaf and dumb, the home for the blind for men and the state hospital.

time of the nationalsocialism

Up until 1945, between 700 and 900 patients were murdered on the site of what is now the Geriatrics House and the psychiatric department.

The head nurse of the state lunatic asylum, Franz Niedermoser , administered fatal doses of sedatives to many patients with the help of head nurse Antonie Pachner , head nurse Ottilie Schellander of the state hospital, as well as other nurses. In four death transports to the Hartheim killing center between 1940 and 1941, 733 people (25 of them children) were sent into the gas.

Among the dead in the house are children from Germany. A first transport came on March 7, 1943 with 60 children from the Herz-Jesu-Haus in Kühr an der Mosel , a second transport on March 20, 1943 with 40 children from the St. Josefshaus in Hardt near Mönchengladbach .

Niedermoser later reported: “On March 7th, 1943 a transport with 60 women and girls, mainly young people from the Altreich , and also on March 20th, 1943 a transport of boys with 40 heads arrived at the infirmary. The central director at the time, Schmidt Sachsenstamm, informed me that these 100 foster people were brought here from the Altreich because of the threat of airborne threats there and that all of them were destined to be killed, since they were extremely weak-minded people. I looked at the fosterlings and could see that almost all of them were not only severely tuberculous; 30 of the 40 boys, for example, were so weak. that they couldn't get out of bed at all, almost all of them were idiots who were completely malnourished and bedridden. Most of the girls were idiots too ... I then passed these killing orders on to head nurses Pachner and Schellander ... "

In the Klagenfurt euthanasia trial before the Klagenfurt external senate of the Graz People's Court, Niedermoser was found guilty of ordering the killing of patients in at least 400 cases; In addition, in disregard of human dignity, he initiated the mistreatment of patients, in many cases resulting in death. On April 4, 1946, he was sentenced to death by hanging and collapse. The death sentence was on 24 October 1946 at the Regional Court Klagenfurt enforced .

The court also imposed the death penalty on three other co-defendants, head nurse Eduard Brandstätter, head nurse Antonie Pachner and head nurse Ottilie Schellander . Eduard Brandstätter committed suicide on the day the judgment was pronounced. The death sentence was not carried out on Pachner and Schellander; instead, they were pardoned to long prison terms. The nurses demonstrably involved Paula Tomasch, Julie Wolf, Ilse Printschler, Maria Cholawa and the head nurse Ladislaus Hribar were also to long prison terms, some with financial collapse , was sentenced. You were released early.

Post-war until today

From September 2006 to May 2010, one of the most modern hospitals in Europe was built in the heart of Klagenfurt. 160 million euros were built on an area of ​​95,000 m 2 . 60,000 m 2 of green space was redesigned so that the clinic is now surrounded by a park. The river Glan was relocated to gain building land for the building. A nature park with a children's playground and a recreation area was created on the north side of the river.

The Austrian Builder Award 2011 was awarded for the new building .
