Original documents
The Adolf-Lorenz-Society has made
it its duty, as well
as preserving the historical Lorenz surgery, to arrange
for an archive.
In the course of creating the
Lorenz surgery into a museum (1995-1997), the
Lorenz-Archive was created, in which
a number of original documents from both great orthopaedists
are kept. Among other things
there are Adolf Lorenz's grammar school reports and his A-Level Diploma, his letter of appointment,
registration form, newspaper cuttings, Adolf Lorenz's handwritten and typed poetry
and prose, manuscripts of his autobiographic novel "I was allowed to help" as well as
scientific publications, honorary member diploma and honours
diploma.
Apart from these documents there are many references
to other archives (ÄStA/AVA, ÖStA/KA, University Archive Vienna, private collection of Dr. Florian
Lorenz, private collection of
Agnes von Cranach-Lorenz) and photocopies
of documents from diverse archives.
The archive is at the moment being
systematically ordered and is only
available for consultation - respecting the data protection
- by researchers, graduates and medical students after prior consent from the Adolf-Lorenz-Society.
Inquiries regarding the above are
to be made
in writing to office@adolf-lorenz-verein.at
