Curriculum Vitae
Franz Amann studied medicine in Innsbruck and joined Austria Innsbruck in 1930. In 1938, he served as the local physician in Sonntagberg, then in Opponitz. During the interwar period, he was an active anti-Nazi and was likely imprisoned “as a precaution” immediately after the Anschluss for this reason.
Starting in 1944, he was actively involved in the resistance.
After the war, from 1948 to 1974, he served as chief physician at the Waidhofen/Ybbs Hospital, where he oversaw its extensive expansion.
