Our first meeting will take place in attendance, on 4.3.2026, Seminarrraum Geschichte 2 (Main Building, Stg. 9, 2 floor)
Further meetings will take place mainly online with blocked units on Saturdays from 11am to around 5pm. Zoom will be opened at 10.30 am so that we can "get together". If possible I would be happy to arrange the meetings according to the timetable of the participants.
Further, an architect, who is very much acquainted with the architectural history of the various buildings of today’s Medical University of Vienna, will give a guided walk, so that the understanding of the influence of medical knowledge on the way hospitals and similar “medical buildings” were constructed, can be followed up. This walk will take place presumably on 24.4.2015, starting at 9.00am until about 12.00 am together with students of medicine
