history
The Baden Sisterhood of the Red Cross goes back to the founding of the Baden Women's Association on June 6, 1859 by the young Grand Duchess Luise von Baden . The nursing department of the Badischer Frauenverein became necessary because there was an unusually high number of illnesses and provisions had to be made for times of war. The first so-called nurses were trained at the expense of the women's association and, after the examination, released to their home communities for care . The practical training centers were initially the Vincentiushaus and the Diakonissenanstalt in Karlsruhe . The first nursing station was built in 1860, and nurses were employed in hospitals in the region from 1862 . On June 29, 1866, at the request of the Grand Duchess, the nursing department of the Baden Women's Association was placed under the statutes of the Red Cross.
Milestones were in 1866 the first own hospital, in 1890 the inauguration of the own Ludwig Wilhelm hospital with nursing school, around 1900 the construction of further facilities and the state recognition of the nursing school. The Second World War resulted in the dissolution of the Red Cross institutions. Many Luis Sisters were on the front lines, the facilities had to be evacuated and were largely destroyed. After the war the time of reconstruction began . In 1949 the association regained its legal independence under the new name of the Badische Schwesternschaft vom Red Cross eV. In the decades that followed, the focus was on training , including in special areas, to meet the needs of rapidly growing medicine , as well as on the company's own facilities, which were expanded and modernized. In 1996, the sisterhood received the Henry Dunant plaque for their services. In 2011, the Luisenheim and its administrative headquarters moved into a new building, in 2015 the outpatient nursing service Luisenschwestern started, and in 2017 Luisenhilfe was added as an offer from the sisterhood.
