First Town Hospital

The First Town Hospital was built in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia in 1868. The construction was initiated by the ruling prince Mihailo Obrenović as the first building in Belgrade built purposely to serve as a hospital. With the Captain Miša's Mansion, it is the most important work of Romanticism in the architecture of Belgrade, and in general marks an excellent achievement of the Serbian architecture in the second half of the 19th century. As such, it has the status of the cultural monument of a great importance since 1979, previously protected in 1964 and categorized in 1981. It presently houses Serbian Medical Association and the Museum of medicine.

Event

Siege of Belgrade

In the siege of Belgrade a Habsburg Austrian army led by feldmarschall Ernst Gideon von Laudon besieged an Ottoman force under Osman Pasha in the fortress of Belgrade. After a three-week leaguer, the Austrians forced the surrender of the fortress. During the campaign which was part of the Austro-Turkish War, the Austrian army was greatly hampered by illness. Austria held the city until 1791 when it handed Belgrade back to the Ottomans according to the terms of the peace treaty. Several Austrian soldiers who distinguished themselves during the siege later held important commands in the subsequent French Revolutionary Wars and Napoleonic Wars. Belgrade is the capital of modern Serbia. At the urging of Russian Empress Catherine the Great, Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor committed the Habsburg monarchy to a war against Ottoman Turkey. In 1788, the Austrians captured one fortress and seized some territory but most of their efforts were thwarted. In August 1788, Joseph appointed Laudon commander in Croatia where that general enjoyed some successes. After the commander of the main army became ill, Joseph replaced him with Laudon at the end of July 1789 and ordered his new commander to capture Belgrade. In mid-September, Laudon's army crossed the Sava River and laid siege to Belgrade with 120,000 soldiers and over 200 cannons. At the end of the month the Austrians cleared the Ottomans from the suburbs. In the face of a destructive bombardment, Osman Pasha negotiated the surrender of the city on 7 October in exchange for allowing the garrison free passage to a Turkish fortress.

Présentation

L'hôpital, situé 19 rue Džordža Vašingtona, a été construit en 1868 d'après des plans de Jovan Frencl et destiné à devenir le premier hôpital de Belgrade. Avec le bâtiment qui abrite aujourd'hui l'Université de Belgrade, il représente le meilleur exemple du style néoromantique à Belgrade. Il témoigne également du développement de la protection médicale dans la capitale serbe. L'hôpital a été édifié à l'initiative du prince Michel Obrenović et a été financé par les donations des juristes de la Société serbe. L'édifice se caractérise par sa simplicité, à la fois dans le traitement des façades et dans l'usage modéré de la décoration aussi bien à l'extérieur qu'à l'intérieur.
