The 19th century was a period in
which there were many significant military, political, economic and social
developments in the Ottoman Empire. The mass migrations from the Balkans and
Crimea in the second half of the 19th century were among the most
important developments of that period. Immigrants who flocked to the cities
caused significant problems and therefore the empire had to take some measures
against this situation. However, migrations that increasingly continued
especially after the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878) made the problems worse.
Although the Ottoman Empire took the necessary measures and enabled most
immigrants to settle in various provinces of the empire, in the years following
the war, there were still great social problems in Istanbul. In order to solve
these problems, new social institutions were established in Istanbul. One of
the most important institutions was Dulhane. The institution that started to
provide services to immigrants in “Kırmızı Kışla” was closed after “Darülaceze”
was established. The present study aims to explain and evaluate the opening of
Dulhane, the incomes allocated to the institution, and the services provided.
