The Landespflegeanstalt Neudörfl is a nursing home with a rehabilitation home in the municipality of Neudörfl in the Mattersburg district in Burgenland . The historic complex is a listed building .

history

In the 19th century, the largest wine merchant in West Hungary, Aron Wolf, had his wine shop here. The building contained huge cellars. In 1910, Wolf was embroiled in a wine scandal. Here his wine was poured from this and also from the rented cellars into the village stream. Wolf himself could not cope with this scandal and took his own life. In 1928, the Burgenland provincial government took over the “ruins” of the winery and had it converted and expanded into a retirement and infirmary home according to plans by government building commissioner, architect Ing. Gause. The institution was opened by Federal President Wilhelm Miklas on June 28, 1930, one week after the building was completed . The Order of the Daughters of the Divine Redeemer took care of the residents .

After Austria was annexed to Nazi Germany, residents were transferred in three transports (February 16, 1939, June 25, 1940, August 7, 1940) from Neudörfl to the Mauer-Öhling intermediate facility , where they only stayed briefly. The residents were transferred to the Hartheim killing center and murdered. The home in Neudörfl served as the infection department of the Wiener Neustadt Hospital from 1943 . In 1949 the Province of Burgenland took over the building and reopened a nursing home.

architecture

The elongated two-storey building with a gable roof dates back to the end of the 19th century. The building has an 11-axis street front with a round arch portal. The historicist decor was almost completely removed. The U-shaped installation behind the building management as a two-storey building is by risalits divided and gable strictly symmetrical and fragmented. The ground floor zone shows colored trickle plaster over a natural stone base and is partly set off from the white colored upper floor by blind arcades and interpreted as a base zone. Zigzag band friezes are kept in the Art Deco style .
