According to the statutes (dated 2 February 1866), from the autumn of 1866 the Maternity Hospital had the following permanent employees with different functions and salaries: a professor of obstetrics, who was also the full professor of the institution, with an annual salary of eight hundred guldens and a quarterly allowance of two hundred guldens (Austrian currency); a head midwife with an annual salary of two hundred florins plus 'the right to accommodation in kind in the institution and to its heating and lighting'; a warden who received ten florins a month and a domestic servant with a salary of twelve florins a month (Bukowina, 11 April 1866, p. 2). Eugen Mitkiewicz, Modest Popescul and Johann von Woczynski were among the ordinaries and thus directors of the maternity home.
As early as the early 1890s, plans for an extension or relocation to another, larger building was discussed (Bukowinaer Rundschau, 15 January 1893, p. 4), and their failure was regularly criticised in the press: 'Finally, the same [provincial committee] is dealing with the question of the accommodation of the Provincial School of Maternity and Midwifery in Chernivtsi. It is only regrettable that the only correct solution to this problem, namely the construction of a new building in the immediate vicinity of the provincial hospital, is encountering difficulties with the relevant factors' (Bukowinaer Rundschau). (Bukowinaer Rundschau, 6 November 1897, p. 2). Under the direction of Dr Johann von Wolczynski (1846-1910), an extension to the maternity hospital was built in 1908. A total of 80,000 crowns was earmarked for the extension in the 1908 state budget (Czernowitzer Allgemeine Zeitung, 2 October 1907, p. 4).
A few years later, however, it was decided to move to a completely different location and a new maternity home was built on the site of the former provincial grammar school. The construction costs were not to exceed 800,000 crowns (Czernowitzer Allgemeine Zeitung, 24 December 1911, p. 10). In 1912 it was decided to sell the (old) maternity hospital - which was converted into a gynaecological institute (Czernowitzer Allgemeine Zeitung, 25 February 1912, p. 4) - and the value of the land and property was estimated (106,402 for the old part of the building and 38,081 for the new part).
