    It was built as a hospital for the men who built the Karawankenbahn tunnel a few hundred meters away between 1901 and 1906. They had a dangerous job. There were always rockfalls or flooding, sometimes with fatal consequences. The victims were buried in a specially created cemetery on the hill behind the hospital. In 1903 a chapel was built there. On the Carinthian side alone, more than 2000 people worked on the construction site of the century.
