The Augustenstift zu Schwerin , Feldstadt , Stiftstrasse 9a / 9b, is a church-diaconal foundation. His old building is a monument in Schwerin . Today the Augustenstift with old and various new buildings is a senior citizen facility in association with the Diakonie , with living and care, short-term and day care, outpatient care service and the center for dementia .
history
In 1840/41 the suburb was included in the urban area. It is essentially a Wilhelminian era residential area. The existing village paths and the slightly hilly topography resulted in an initially unplanned development. Schwerin's master builder Georg Adolf Demmler tried to better connect the area to Schwerin's old town in the expansion and beautification plan of the residential city of Schwerin from 1862/63.
An old shooting house had been on the area since the middle of the 17th century. A new shooting range was built in 1694 and 1697, parts of which were preserved as a half-timbered building from 1801. In 1850 the complaints of the residents increased and the shooting ranges were relocated to the Schelfwerder.
In 1852 Ida Masius founded a women's association that wanted to devote itself to the care of the poor and the sick. In 1853, Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II had the former shooting houses of the Schwerin old town rifle guild in what was then Grosse Schützenstrasse (today Stiftstrasse). The buildings were rebuilt and from 1855 women in need of care and later men around 1862 were taken in.
On May 26, 1855, the Protestant Augustenstift opened its work with poor and elderly care. The Grand Duchess Auguste took over the protectorate . On March 7, 1860, the monastery received the rights of a legal person ; 1861 as a Protestant foundation ( pium corpus ). Regular services have been held in the large hall since 1862.
The system was expanded to meet the increasing demand. In 1862 the north wing for the men was added. In 1873/74 the south-western two-storey courtyard extension took place. 24 men and 24 women now lived in the facility.
The Marienflügel from 1873/74 was expanded in the attic in 1878, destroyed by bombs in 1945 and demolished in 1950. In 1880 the monastery cared for 66 people, including 19 sick people (permanently in need of care).
The neo-Gothic collegiate chapel from 1881 was built according to plans by building officer Theodor Krüger ; In 1945 it was badly damaged by bombs and demolished in 1950.

In 1905, the Augustenstift received its current appearance as part of a renovation. Parts of the building on the courtyard side were destroyed by bombs in World War II. The destroyed farm building was rebuilt in 1946. Vacancies and a lack of necessary building maintenance led to a dilapidated state until the end of the 1980s.
After reunification , the district was included in the urban development program in 1991; the Augustenstift was of greater importance.
New building for the elderly and care facility
The ev. Altenhilfe- und Pflegeeinrichtung Augustenstift built a four-storey facility with around 110 beds in the wards and with the administrative and community facilities between 1993 and 1995 between Schäferstrasse and Feldstrasse according to plans by Hartmut Gothe and Jürgen Steen (Lübeck) - and function rooms on the ground floor. The three differentiated wings are characterized by the red and white stiffened facade design and the triangular bay windows on the three upper floors.
Renovation of the old buildings
The historically most important buildings in Feldstadt were renovated from 1998 to 2001 after extensive preliminary investigations according to plans by Gothe and Steen.
Half-timbered construction
The half-timbered building - the earlier shooting range - was still based on field stones. A few wooden components originated from 1803, the stairs from 1850 and the wood of the oak columns built in 1802/03 from the second half of the 16th century; the renaissance style was visibly preserved. Most of the windows were renewed during the GDR era and now had to be replaced in the style of the 19th century. Some components of the framework had to be renewed up to 60%. The color scheme chosen during the renovation corresponds to the first color version (17th / 18th century).
Northern wing extension
The two - storey neo - Gothic building with a north transept with arched windows and an entrance was designed by the architect Hermann Willebrand in 1860 . The red stone facade on Feldstrasse is structured by yellow clinker strips, the three-step gable of the transept and the single-storey pillar templates. The damage in the roof area was repaired. The damaged gable to Feldstrasse could be rebuilt in its previous form, including the crowning in the gable ridge. The historic staircase, the three-panel doors, lead-glass window ornaments and the neo-Gothic porch remained. A terrace and the balcony on the courtyard side at the gable with a kind of gable rider increase the quality of stay.
Southern wing extension
The former male infirmary from 1905 according to plans by senior building officer Georg Daniel was built with special-sized bricks that had to be burned after the renovation. The building is characterized by the high pitched roof. The stepped gable with its battlements is striking. The windows have an arch . The wooden veranda with its decorative elements typical of the time from 1937 had to be rebuilt. The attic now received larger dormers when it was expanded.
New building garden height
This two-storey house for short-term care garden height (No. 6b) or center dementia from 2003/05 with 24 places was built nearby after a competition according to plans by Rüdiger Franke (Hamburg) as a 3/4 round building with flat and pent roofs .
Foundation, endowment
The Augustenstift is an ecclesiastical foundation with legal capacity under civil law based on the award document of March 7, 1860. The foundation supervision is carried out by the regional church office of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany . The purpose of the foundation is stated in the statutes “to provide care for people in need by establishing and operating institutions for inpatient, semi-inpatient and open elderly care as well as home nursing.” As a legally independent institution, the foundation is a work of the Evangelical Lutheran Church District Mecklenburg in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany. It is part of the Diakonisches Werk Mecklenburg-Vorpommern e. V. and thus affiliated to the Diakonisches Werk of the Evangelical Church in Germany as a recognized Protestant umbrella organization for voluntary welfare.
