EULOGY FOR VIENNA JEWISH HOSPITAL DIRECTOR ASCHER MATZEL (1763-1842.)
At the age of seventeen Ascher Matzel entered the service of the Jewish Hospital in Vienna, of which he became the superintendent in 1799. During the war with the Turks, Emperor Joseph II appointed Matzel superintendent of the hospital in the fortress of Leopoldstadt. The emperor bestowed on him many tokens of his appreciation including a diamond ring with the emperor's initials. At the close of the war Matzel returned to Vienna to resume charge of the Jewish hospital. In 1813 he received from Emperor Francis the gold medal of honor and from the Emperor of Russia the Order of Merit. In 1814 Matzel became manager of the military magazine of munitions, and in 1830, during the cholera epidemic, he became chief of the board of health of Rossau, a suburb of Vienna.
