The paper deals with the experience of dying girls that Cankar encountered during his stay in the poor Viennese quarter of Ottakring. He depicted their destinies he encountered during his visit in the hospital Das Haus der Barmherzigkeit in his symbolistic novel The Ward of our Lady of Mercy. The author compares the Cankar's novel with Hauptmann's poem The Assumption of Hannele. The analysis shows Cankar's originality in shaping suffering, forgiveness, death and redemption, and emphasizes great importance of Cankar's work in the circle of European writers from the period of fin de siecle.
