from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anna Forcke (born February 24, 1836 in Wittingen , † October 10, 1904 in Hanover ) was a German deaconess and, as superior, head of the Henriettenstift hospital .

Life

Anna Forcke was accepted as a probationary nurse in the Henriettenstift on November 9, 1863 in Hanover . One and a half years later it was on March 16, 1865. Office of Deaconess consecrated . Barely a year later she was introduced as superior of the monastery on February 15, 1866 - as the successor to Emmy Danckwerts , who had died in April 1865. Since then, Anna Forcke has managed the monastery in close cooperation with the head and pastor Johann Samuel Büttner .

After the subsidiary Bethesda in Hanover-Kirchrode had been expanded under the direction of Anna Forcke from 1872 , the superior - almost 35 years after joining the Henriettenstift - moved to the subsidiary in 1898, which she managed until her death in 1904.

Honors

A dormitory run from 1908 to 1991 for old or sick sisters of the Henrietten Foundation in Barsinghausen bears the name Anna-Forcke-Stift .

After the City Council of Hanover decided in 1999 to name new streets mainly after women who played an important role in the history of the city, a brochure was published in August 2011 which gives information about previous street names after female personalities and a series lists of people after whom street names should be made in the future. The latter also includes a short biography of Anna Forcke .
