A row of hospital pavilions lines a wide street, ending in a columned portico at the right. Young trees have been planted along the roadside, and tram wires run overhead above the empty tracks. The caption is printed in Hungarian and German only, Kórház and Spital, with no Serbian text.
About this place
Novi Sad's public hospital was built in stages between 1907 and 1912 on what was then the western edge of town, along today's Hajduk Veljkova street in the Sajmište district. Its architect was György Kopeczek, a Hungarian who specialised in hospital buildings. It opened in 1909 as the Great City Hospital, with departments for surgery, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynaecology, skin and venereal diseases and infectious diseases, and one of the tram lines that began running in 1911 came out to it. Hungarian and German captions on the postcards name it Újvidék város közkórháza and Allgemeines Krankenhaus; Serbian cards after 1918 call it Državna bolnica, the State Hospital, and the site has stayed in hospital use ever since as the Main Provincial Hospital and now the University Clinical Centre of Vojvodina.
