Christian Zulus Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Thanks Rick, is there any way to research the good Doktor Lurtz?HardyDear Hardy,I found in the Hungarian newspaper "Orszgos Hirlap" of the very late 19th century 2 times a "Dr. Lurtz" mentionend, but I don't understand the Hungarian language :http://epa.oszk.hu/00200/00242/00073/pdf/00073.pdfhttp://epa.oszk.hu/00200/00242/00040/pdf/00040.pdfThere are 5 "Lurtz" registered in the Austrian phonebook:http://www.herold.at/servlet/at.herold.sp....776322580180106You might get some valid information about Doctor Lurtz at the "Wiener ?rztekammer" (Chamber of MDs in Vienna), at the department "Standesf?hrung", if they still have their k.u.k. archives (they might have been transfered to the STAATSARCHIV ?):http://www.aekwien.or.at/131.html (you might contact via e-mail one of the 2 listed ladies)You might find also some some article about Dr. Lurtz and his order in the archives of the WIENER ZEITUNG:http://www.wienerzeitung.at/DesktopDefault...2&Alias=wzoBest regards Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Zulus Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Thank you ChristianHardyDear Hardy,some of our GMIC-members speak Hungarian - maybe they can tell you, what's written in the newspapers ?When you get some results of the research, it would be great, if you might show them at GMIC .High ranking Austrian Imperial decorations to medical doctors are rather rare - more common to military people or civil servants .Best regards from Vienna Christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Almanach der Mitglieder des Kaiserlich-?sterreichischen Franz Joseph-Orden herausgegeben anl?sslich seiner sechszigj?hrigen Gr?ndungsfeier (1909) p. 102:"Lurtz, Wilhelm M.Dr., Primararzt i. Krankenhause d. Wiener Kaufmannsch., Oberarzt d. Staatseisenb.-Gesellsch. ?FJ (Off 908) (Wien I., Stefanplatz 6)."So-- he got an OFFICER pinback grade Order in 1908, and was both a Vienna city hospital and State Railways physician.
