history

The Lilienfeld Hospital was opened on October 31, 1903 by the then Lower Austrian governor Erich von Kielmansegg and inaugurated by Abbot Julius Panschab , Franz Schönbauer became first primary.

In 1907 the Austrian Red Cross gave the hospital a tent pavilion as an open hall with eight beds because of the prevalent tuberculosis at the time . In 1908 the infection pavilion was extended and a new farm building connected to the main wing was built. The nurses, the electric washing facility and the morgue were housed here. In 1910 an X-ray room was built. The industrialist Karl Wittgenstein donated 5,000 crowns here .

In 1927 the insulating pavilion was increased and a new open-air lounge area was built, and the number of beds increased from 40 to 100. The medical equipment was supplemented in 1936 by an X-ray system with a mobile device.

During the Second World War , the legal ownership changed to the Landesratsamt in 1941. In 1942 an emergency barracks with twenty beds was built for foreign worker patients. With the completion of a patient barracks for the internal department and obstetrics, the number of beds was increased again in 1944. After the end of the war, legal ownership went to the state government and later to the district administration .

In 1948 the hospital had two operating theaters with sterile rooms, a surgical pavilion with 72 beds, an X-ray room, two tea kitchens and a wide variety of sanitary facilities. The infection pavilion had 31 beds and the new 42-meter-long barrack was equipped with brick walls, flooring , then modern water pipes and steam heating.

A new building was erected between 1955 and 1959 and, in addition to the enlargement, equipment and medical facilities were brought up to the state of the art again. Obstetrics with 15 beds was moved from the patient barracks to the new wing. The obstetrics, parts of the surgery, septic and aseptic operating theaters and the X-ray clinic have now been installed in the new north wing.

After major investments were made in the hospital infrastructure from 1962 to 1971, the first of the three construction stages of the extension and renovation of the hospital fell from 1975 to 1977. The outpatient facilities, such as the first aid and the X-ray room, were enlarged and renewed. Workshops, storage and technical rooms and the reception office were renewed. A Information Technology was already used.

In the second construction phase from 1978 to 1979, the west wing I was increased and the extension was realized. The internal department with 26 beds moved to West Wing I and the patient barrack was demolished. For the first time, the patient rooms received assigned sanitary cells. In the years 1982 to 1985 the main project, the new building of the east wing with around 100 beds and the extension of the ambulance, was realized.

The third expansion stage included the expansion of the north wing. A separate department for obstetrics, new operating room facilities, delivery rooms, an X-ray clinic, central cloakroom, laundry store and the hospital chapel were built between 1982 and 1985. The octagon with external wet cells and patient rooms and the inner corridor and, in the core, the operating rooms have proven to be the optimal design .

In 2000, a two-storey extension was opened for the computed tomography system at the radiology department, and in the following year a central building technology with electrical workshop, security and medical technology and building control technology was created. In 2002, a roofing over the central waste collection point in the courtyard area and the completion of the new staff parking spaces on the grounds of the stone house took place.

After lengthy negotiations, it was decided on November 30, 2004 to hand over the legal ownership from the municipal association to the State of Lower Austria and handed over on January 1, 2005.

On June 12, 2006, the new ward 2 of the internal medicine department opened.
