history

The institution was founded on November 21, 1864 by the citizens of Erfurt as an Evangelical Girls Education Institution . In 1866 the institution was expanded to include a children's institution and in 1869 a maid's hostel . The new construction of the main building was completed in 1891. The construction costs amounted to around 120,000  gold marks and the 485 m² building housed a toddler school for 80 children, an education and nursing home for up to 50  foster children and a women's pension. In the same year the institution received permission to name itself after the German Empress, Auguste Victoria , Augusta-Viktoria-Stift. The former state day-care center on the Krämpferufer has been part of the facility since 1992 . In 1993 the institution received a prize from the Federal Minister for Family and Seniors, Hannelore Rönsch , in the competition “Seniors-friendly Community 1993” for the project of “old and young under one roof”. In 1995 the nursing home at Heinrich-Heine-Straße 2 was taken over. In 2001, the institution won the national competition "Solidarity of the Generations" of the Federal Working Group of Senior Citizens' Organizations (BAGSO) for the colored pencil initiative. The Protestant forest kindergarten was founded in 2003. In 2012, the nursing home on Hospitalplatz was redesigned and in 2015 the Protestant nursing homes were given new names, Augusta Viktoria Foundation Seniorenhaus am Hospitalplatz and Augusta Viktoria Foundation Seniorenvilla in the Dichterviertel.
