Josephinum#

Josephinum, a medical/surgical academy in the 9th district of Vienna for the training of military doctors (also called Josephs-Akademie), founded by Joseph II in 1785. Closed from 1849-1854, then reopened. Remained an educational establishment for army doctors until 1874. After the introduction of the Doctor of Medicine degree in 1872, the partial qualification of the Josephinum diploma was no longer valid. The Josephinum building, built in 1783-1785 in neo- classic style according to plans by I. Canevale, with a fountain (Hygieiabrunnen) by J. M. Fischer in the courtyard (Ehrenhof), was used for courses for army doctors in the years 1875-1883, and for a school of applied medicine for military doctors from 1900 to 1918. Today it houses, among other institutions, the Institute of Medical History, with an impressive collection of anatomical and obstetrical wax models (from 1920 onwards).
