Anlässlich des 50-Jahre-Regierungsjubiläums des Kaisers Franz Joseph I, beschloss der Gemeinderat von Wien am 11. Februar 1898 zur Feier dieses Jubiläums die Errichtung eines Kinderspitals beim k.k. Wilhelminenspital mit 180 bis 200 Betten für infektionskranke Kinder.

An der Einfriedungsmauer entlang des Flötzersteigs befindet sich östlich des ehemaligen Haupteingangs zur Erinnerung an die Errichtung dieses Kinderspitals eine die Pflege kranker Kinder beschützende Figur der National-allegorie Austria. Die Beschriftung des Obelisken mit „1848–1898“ verweist auf das 50-Jahre-Regierungsjubiläum von Kaiser Franz Joseph I.

The City Council of Vienna decided on February 11, 1898 to celebrate the 50-year anniversary of the regency of the Emperor Franz Joseph I by establishing a children's hospital within the "k.k. Wilhelminenspital" with 180 to 200 beds for infected, sick children.

On the boundary wall along the Flötzersteig, east of the former main entrance a statue of "Austria" protecting the care of sick children was built to commemorate the establishment of this children's hospital. The inscription of the obelisk with "1848-1898" refers to the 50-year anniversary of Emperor Franz Joseph I.
