The clinic with new and old buildings (right)

The Pyhrn-Eisenwurzen Klinikum Steyr (formerly LKH Steyr) is a large hospital of the Upper Austrian Health Holding in the statutory city of Steyr . Another location is in Kirchdorf an der Krems ( Pyhrn-Eisenwurzen Klinikum Kirchdorf ).

The old main building in Steyr is a listed building.

history

The Steyr hospital dates back to 1679, when the city of Steyr bought the Plauzenhof in Aichet as a plague hospital. In 1849 it was expanded into a hospital with 39 beds. By 1900 there was already a lack of space in the old St. Anna Hospital. Primary doctor and Billroth student Viktor Klotz , then medical director, initiated a new building, which was largely financed by generous donations from private individuals such as beer brewers Johann Haratzmüller and Therese Praschak.

In 1916 the hospital was opened at its present location at Sierninger Strasse 170. In 1930 the city of Steyr's hospital was taken over by the state of Upper Austria. From 1935 onwards, new departments and stations were gradually founded and extensions built.

In October 2018, the Supervisory Board decided provincial hospital holding gespag hospitals and Steyr Kirchdorf an der Krems on 1 January 2020 for Pyhrn-Eisenwurzen Hospital to merge with two locations.

The Pyhrn-Eisenwurzen Clinic is a teaching hospital of the Medical University of Innsbruck , the Medical University of Graz and the Medical University of Vienna .
