history
The suburb of Neulerchenfeld had an epidemic hospital built in Liebhartsgasse based on plans by Caspar Hoffer, which was first used in 1873.
Due to the increasing lack of capacity in the General Hospital , the Wiedner Spital and the Rudolf Foundation , the Lower Austrian Lieutenancy issued a decree on March 13, 1883, according to which the suburbs had to build their own hospitals.
The community of Neulerchenfeld followed this instruction in a resolution of August 10, 1883 and decided to set up its own community hospital, which should be connected to the existing epidemic hospital. Between July 1884 and October 1885 it was built according to plans by Josef Baldia for 234,000 crowns. It was put into operation on October 18, 1885.
On October 21, 1884, the community's request to call the new hospital “Kronprinzessin Stephanie-Spital” was graciously approved.
Due to an agreement between the municipality of Vienna and the state of Lower Austria dated December 1, 1891, the
- " Kaiserin-Elisabeth-Spital in Rudolfsheim " (legal takeover day 23 January 1892), the
- Wilhelminenspital , that
- Kronprinzessin-Stephanie-Spital, that
- Sankt Rochusspital in Penzing and
- the buildings of the former district hospital Sechshaus
taken over by the city of Vienna
In 1898, the Crown Princess Stephanie Hospital received its own X-ray system . In 1902 considerations arose to close the hospital and convert it into a school. But it was continued and served as a hospital during the First World War . In peacetime, the occupancy room was fixed with 108 beds, but this often had to be exceeded. During the war, the capacity had to be expanded to up to 700 beds. After the end of the war it was used again as a civilian hospital until it was closed in 1928.
Between 1928 and 1972 the former Crown Princess Stephanie Hospital was used as a payment point for the unemployed. A music school of the City of Vienna has been located here since 1978
In 1902, Gabriele Possanner von Ehrental was the first woman to do a doctorate at a university in the Danube Monarchy to take up an aspirational position here.
The former Crown Princess Stephanie-Spital was built as a three-storey building in neo-renaissance forms, whereby the decor of the facade has meanwhile been reduced. The foyer is equipped with groin vaults and Corinthian pilasters and half-columns.
The Kronprinzessin Stephanie-Spital has been included in the Viennese cultural property register as an essential feature of the identity of the city of Vienna .
