history

At the beginning of 1872 a committee was formed to collect donations for the construction of a hospital in the western suburbs of Vienna. The death of Archduchess Sophie , the mother of Emperor Franz Joseph I , was the reason for the decision to name the hospital to be built after the deceased, which the committee was also authorized to do by handwriting dated June 7, 1872. Archduke Karl Ludwig also took over the protectorate of the project.

In order to turn the project into reality, the committee tried to found an association and received notable donations from members of the imperial family and other sponsors.

However, the will of  Eugenie Louise Kenyon (1806–1877), born Turovsky, who died on October 8, 1877 in Vienna-Neubau, Kaiserstraße  7 (today: property area  ON 9), was decisive for the project, drawn up on August 11, 1875 the 6 . Archduchess Sophien Hospital to be built in the 7th or 7th district was used as a universal heir.

However, since neither the club form came nor the Spitalsbau materialize, presented for the purpose of activating the Erbseinsetzung the Finanzprokuratur on behalf of the Imperial Lieutenancy the Erbserklärung favor of the Foundation Archduchess Sophia Hospital and obtained the dismissal of the stage for the hospital court-appointed trustee and the transfer of Procurement and administration of the estate for the foundation itself.

All rights and powers have also been transferred to this foundation by the committee. A decree of the Lieutenancy of March 6, 1878 approved that the execution of the Archduchess Sophien-Spital Foundation as a collective foundation was carried out jointly by the kk Finanzprokuratur, the executor Josef Frank appointed by Eugenie Louise Kenyon and the committee.

Treatment card for the poor (1932)

The Archduchess Sophien-Spital was built by the Financial Procuratorate in agreement with the parties involved and the Lieutenancy's technical department between 1879 and 1881 under master builder Franz Wigand.

After the Finanzprokuratur by decision of the Regional Court of Vienna kk of 23 March 1880, the Einantwortung had obtained the Kenyon'schen estate to the Archduchess Sophia Hospital Foundation and the committee all monetary and in-kind donations that had been collected in the meantime, the Foundation the committee officially dissolved on April 16, 1880. On May 28, 1880, the hospital was opened in the presence of Archduke Karl Ludwig.

Between 1904 and 1907 the administration building (Kaiserstraße 7–9, today: 9; 1907), the Karl Ludwig Pavilion (Apollogasse 19, stations 1D – E – 2D; 1904) - named after the patron of the Sophienspital, Archduke Karl Ludwig - as well as the building for the prosecution (Stollgasse 12; 1904).

In 1939 the Sophienspital offered over 200 beds . On September 25, 1940, the hospital was opened as a hospital for the German police in the presence of the Police President of Vienna, Ernst Kaltenbrunner (1903-1946), appointed on June 20, 1940 . On December 10, 1945, the newly created outpatient clinic for skin and venereal diseases started operations.

After the City of Vienna took over the Sophienspital in 1945, the municipal council decided in 1985 to convert it into a care center (completed in 1987).

Social Medicine Center Sophienspital - The new building on the Gürtel

Due to reallocations in the Vienna Hospital Association KAV, the range of services at the Sophienspital was expanded to include parts of the polyclinic . In order to create the space for a social medicine center, an EU-wide architectural competition was announced (winner: Martin Kohlbauer , architect from Vienna) and then a new building opposite the Vienna Westbahnhof between the laying of the foundation stone on September 1, 1997 and the opening in April 1999 built.

This new building, which costs 92 million schillings (around 6.7 million euros) along the new building belt and also serves as noise protection, houses two nursing wards with 24 beds each and an institute for physical medicine. The pilot project "Rehabilitation after femoral neck fractures" started in 1993 at the polyclinic is to be continued and expanded here.

Anton Werkgartner , an Austrian forensic doctor , worked here as a secondary doctor.

On May 20, 1958, the Vienna City Hall correspondence announced that the previous First Assistant to the Medical Department in the General Hospital, Ingrid Leodolter (1919–1986), was taking over the position of the retired Primarius of Internal Medicine, Paul Ceranke. Between 1962 and 1971, Leodolter was the successor to Josef Georg Knoflach (1896–1966) , who had been working in the house since 1945, as the medical director of the Sophienspital and then again from 1979.

Among others died here: Carl Lorens (folk singer) on December 12, 1909, Otto Tschadek (politician) on February 4, 1969, John Banner (actor) on January 28, 1973.

"Bed donor"

So-called bed donors are also provided for in the statutes of the Archduchess Sophien-Spital Foundation.

For an amount of 6,000 guilders in cash or the equivalent in securities, benefactors could donate a hospital bed. Beds donated in this way bore the name of the benefactor, which was also made apparent.

There was also the “half bed foundation”, which cost 3,000 guilders.
