Ferdinand II had invited the Camaldolese into the land following Polish marshal Nikolaus Wolsky’s supplication.

The Camaldolese settlement resembled a small village; two rows each of 20 plots clustered around a church and two yards.

The small houses that once belonged to the Camaldolese were sold off and von Kriegl opened a restaurant in what had earlier been the hospice.

In 1892, Josefsdorf, as part of the Kahlenbergerdorf, along with the surrounding suburbs of Sievering, Grinzing, Oberdöbling, Unterdöbling, Nußdorf, Heiligenstadt was integrated into the 19th district of Vienna, Döbling.
