  • Thavonatgasse , 1935 named after the Hofkammerrat Ferdinand Ignaz Freiherr von Thavonat (1665–1726) on the occasion of the anniversary of the General Hospital; In 1720 he donated 600,000 guilders to the large poor and invalids house (forerunner of the AKH) to accommodate invalids of the Turkish wars. This enabled the 2nd courtyard of the General Hospital (“Thavonathof”) and parts of today's 4th and 5th courtyards to be built. After the Alser barracks were demolished in 1925, the alley was laid out between the 1st courtyard of the AKH and Otto-Wagner-Platz, which was completed in the same year, and was called Krankenhausgasse until 1935 . Incorporated as a footpath in its green area since 1977, it was part of the area that was donated to the University of Vienna by the City of Vienna in 1988 and has been used as a university campus since the clinics were relocated from 1991 to 1994. The area, which has not been recognizable as an alley for a long time, was removed from the road network in 2011. The street name was previously in use for today's Kempelengasse in the Kreta district in the 10th district.
