Theatine monastery Salzburg
The former Theatine monastery in Salzburg is located in the city of Salzburg (Kajetanerplatz 1). Today in the building complex is A. ö. Brothers of Charity Hospital housed.
history
A St. Anna church and a hospital were first noted at this location in 1150. Archbishop Wolf Dietrich acquired the building to set up a seminary. In 1618 the area was given to the Brothers of Mercy; but since this could not obtain an exemption from the prince-archbishop's jurisdiction, they left Salzburg again. Under Archbishop Max Gandolf von Kuenburg , the complex was then handed over to the Theatiners (also called the Kajetaner Order after their second founder ) from Munich , who built a new building and a seminary .
Wolf Benedikt Überacker (born May 2, 1674 in Henndorf) and Felix Fossa until 1729 are known of the provosts of the monastery .
In 1809 the monastery was closed and from then on it was run as a hospital. Between 1810 and 1923 a military hospital was housed here, the so-called troop hospital . The house also served as a reserve hospital during the Second World War .

Theatine monastery today: Hospital of the Brothers of Mercy in Salzburg
The palace-like Kajetan Church is located on Kajetanerplatz , to which the hospital is attached. The former monastery complex, which was regularly laid out, can only be recognized as such through the drum dome .
In 1923 the hospital was handed over to the Brothers of Mercy. After the Second World War, a branch of the international refugee organization UNRRA (later IRO , from 1952 UNHCR ) was housed here. In 1950 the bomb-damaged building was returned to the Merciful Brothers, who reopened the hospital the following year after extensive renovation.
