Abstrakty
In the study, the author sums up the activity of the imperial and royal camp and reserve brothels, established in 1915 by the military authorities of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, operating during the World War 1. The organisational rules of the camp and reserve brothels originating within divisions with the aim to prevent the spread of venereal diseases in the army and to protect the soldiers’ health (in 1915, 12% of the troops were infected) are introduced. The author zooms in on the regulations regarding the brothel activity, obligations of the staff and prostitutes as well as the effort of the authorities to build a whole network of brothels. Readers will learn about the headquarters regulations, issued to prevent the spread of venereal diseases among soldiers (raising awareness, medical check-ups several times a week, handing out free protection, etc.), uncovering similar civilian and military health regulations issued for the rear areas as well. The author informs about the operation of brothels established in the territories occupied by the Austro-Hungarian army (according to the Serbian example) and the hygienic and other regulations for the prostitutes working there. The author briefly informs the readers about the works of significant contemporary expert physicians and their work in the field of edification in order to suppress the spread of venereal diseases.
