The Accident Hospital Vienna Lorenz Böhler (also Lorenz Böhler Accident Hospital , officially AUVA Trauma Center Vienna since 2018 - Lorenz Böhler location ) is an accident hospital in Donaueschingenstraße 13 in the 20th district of Brigittenau . The previous building was the first accident hospital in Vienna. The supporting organization is the Allgemeine Unfallversicherungsanstalt (AUVA). Since January 2018, the Accident Hospital Meidling and Accident Hospital Lorenz Böhler in the AUVA trauma center in Vienna have been combined under one organizational roof. Accordingly, only this is found on the list of hospitals of the Federal Ministry.

history

The first beginnings of trauma surgery in Vienna took place at the I. Surgical Clinic under Anton Eiselsberg and the II. Surgical Clinic of the General Hospital under Julius Hochenegger, which set up the first trauma surgery departments at their clinics.

At the urging of Lorenz Böhler , the General Accident Insurance Fund AUVA made two floors available in one of their office buildings at Webergasse 2-6 in Vienna's 20th district, which were converted into an accident hospital, which was called the accident hospital in Webergasse at the time. Work began in 1923 and the opening took place in 1925. Lorenz Böhler was appointed medical director and primary school. In these positions he worked until 1963 and made the trauma hospital a global role model for trauma hospitals.

From the hospital with originally 52 beds, a hospital with 120 beds as well as several operating theaters and gyms had developed by 1934. In 1945 the accident hospital was badly damaged by a bomb, but operations could continue. Today the AUVA regional office in Vienna is housed in the building of the former accident hospital. Today (as of April 2018) the hospital has 128 beds.

Opening of the new building in 1972

One year after Lorenz Böhler's resignation, the General Accident Insurance Fund decided in 1965 to rebuild the hospital on Donaueschingenstrasse. Construction began in January 1967. On November 9, 1972, the Lorenz Böhler Hospital went into operation.

In 1985, a branch of the Vienna Heilstättenschule was set up at the Vienna Lorenz Böhler Accident Hospital .

architecture

Webergasse 2-6

Webergasse 2-6 in Brigittenau was built by Hans Schneider between 1911 and 1912 as a monumental building in neoclassical style with a symmetrically structured facade with flat projections and representative portals with putti figures. It still serves the AUVA as an office building.

Donaueschingenstrasse 13

The architect of the new building, which was erected for the first time in Austria using a lightweight steel frame construction, was Adolf Hoch .
