Career
Sandreczky had worked in the early 1860s in Munich as the assistant of another pioneering German pediatrician, Heinrich von Ranke. Sandreczky"s hospital was named "Marienstift Kinderhospital", or "Children"s Hospital of the Marie Foundation", after the wife of Archduke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin who offered him financial support for a while. That very approach meant that Sandreczky didn"t attempt to proselytise the children in his care, a fact which made it close to impossible for him to obtain sustained financing from government and confessional institutions, as did all other hospitals of Jerusalem in his time.
With failing health, Sandreczky killed himself on June 22, 1899, at the age of 60, haunted by his fears that he would become a burden to his family and not be able to continue helping sick children.
Shortly after his death the hospital closed down.
