fmr. Auersperg Sanatorium
In 1907/08 Friederike Luithlen founded a private hospital with 34 patient rooms built according to plans by Robert Oerley, which later became known as the Auersperg Sanatorium for skin diseases. Revolutionary for its time: private bathroom, adjoining apartment and telephone connection.
With its simple façade structured by cornices and windows, the building with its natural stone base is considered an example of Viennese Modernism. Hot water heating was also installed during construction.
A prominent patient in 1924 was Sigmund Freud, who suffered from oral cancer and underwent surgery there. The sanatorium was closed in 1956, then converted into a student residence after the roof area was rebuilt, and has been run as a hotel with a glass exhibition by Ioan Nemtoi since 2006.
