from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sankt Rochusspital was a hospital in the 14th district of Penzing in Vienna at Cumberlandstrasse 53.

history

The hospital was based on a foundation by the painter Eduard Gurk, who died on a trip to Jerusalem . The two- and partially three-story hospital was built in 1859.

According to another source, the Sankt Rochusspital was built as an emergency hospital during the German War of 1866 for wounded and sick soldiers from the Italian front .

The fact that in the Prussian army , the cholera broke out and many of the sick in the room Penzing civilians were brought here paved the way from the military to the civil hospital. From around 1870 it only served as a local hospital.

Due to an agreement between the municipality of Vienna and the state of Lower Austria dated December 1, 1891, the

taken over by the city of Vienna.

In 1901, under Mayor Karl Lueger , the Kaiser-Franz-Joseph-Landwehr barracks was built next to it, which was rededicated into a care home (later: old people's home) after the First World War.

On February 25, 1958, the Vienna City Council decided to design the former Rochusspital as a sick ward for the Baumgarten nursing home . 5.8 million schillings were estimated for the renovation.

The new hospital ward with 110 beds in the Baumgarten nursing home was opened on May 27, 1961 by Mayor Franz Jonas under the name of Sankt Rochus-Heim.

The Sankt Rochus Home is currently no longer mentioned on the website of the Baumgarten Geriatric Center run by the Vienna Hospital Association . It was closed in July 2005 and has since been demolished. The property was sold.
