Forerunner

The forerunner of the Alexander-Stift was the charity institution Alexander-Asyl, founded in Sarata (then in the Tsarist Empire ) in 1865 . The name was given in honor of the then reigning Tsar Alexander II , the founders were six pastors. The home looked after old, sick and handicapped people as well as orphans from the ranks of the Bessarabian Germans . The self-help facility was financed by church donations from German villages in Bessarabia .

Emergence

Today's facility was built in 1953 in the Großerlach district of Neufürstenhütte in an empty church home. For older Bessarabian Germans who did not have their own apartment, it was supposed to be a home for old age. It also accommodated people who could not get along in their new home, who lost family members in the Second World War , or were sick and in need of care. The establishment is committed to the Bessarabian tradition with services and a special kitchen.

The founder and sponsor was the Ev.-Lutheran Aid Committee. Church from Bessarabia eV On May 20, 2005, the Alexander-Stift became independent after its former sponsoring association joined the Bessarabiendeutscher Verein. Nowadays only a small part of the inhabitants come from the former Bessarabia.
