There is on the first floor Domkurat Johannes Krawarik. A horde in search of the Archbishop of Vienna Cardinal Innitzer enter the Churhaus, drag Johannes Krawarik to the corridor and throw him out to the window. Fortunately, he falls on a sand pile in the yard. Nevertheless, he breaks both thighs and knees. Over an hour, there is no doctor to help him. Only Dr. Gustav Mittelbach, who was imprisoned from Graz to Vienna, as well as the later director of the Vienna Technical Museum Josef Nagler, who both come by accident and see the injured, provide first aid after the marginalizers have been deducted. Only after months, Johannes Krawarik can be released from the hospital in February 1939 and has to move on to crutches for a long time, but he has never recovered properly from the shock and the injuries.

In 1945 Cardinal Innitzer appoints him as the Archbishop of Consistorilarat and Pius XII as the Pontifical Volunteer. On September 1, 1946, Johannes Krawarik will be invested as a pastor of Vienna-Altottakring. He is active in pastoral care until 1 March 1968. During the handover to his successor, he dies of the consequences of his suffered injuries.
