Although Fellner managed several public buildings in the course of his professional activity, as a planning architect he is mainly tangible through the construction of the Franz Joseph Hospital . Fellner created the external design of the pavilion-style hospital buildings, the internal concept of which came from Karl Böhm. Fellner opted for simple neo-renaissance forms in which the individual pavilions, the administration building, a bathing establishment, kitchen building and church were designed. Fellner thus realized one of the largest hospital complexes in the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the time. Due to severe damage in the Second World War, the original shape is only partially visible today.
