history

The beginnings of the Diakonissenkrankenhaus Karlsruhe-Rüppurr

The Evangelical Diakonissenanstalt was founded in Karlsruhe in 1851 by women and men who, as members of the church awakening movement in Baden, were responsible for overcoming social and spiritual needs, especially for sick people. The guiding principle in the middle of the 19th century was to offer “effective nursing for the sick” in this diaconal institution, which “rooted in living Christianity, has mind, soul and body equally in mind”. The Deaconess Hospital is still committed to this guiding principle.

The deaconess hospital is part of the Ev. Diakonissenanstalt Karlsruhe-Rüppurr. The work in the hospital began with five deaconesses. In Karlsruhe, near the Mühlburger Tor, a house was purchased that offered space for 12 patients. In 1931 the foundation stone was laid for the new building in Karlsruhe- Rüppurr because there were no more options for expansion in the middle of the city. From 1933 to 1964 the hospital was run at two different locations until the two locations were merged with the new building of the gynecological clinic in Karlsruhe-Rüppurr in 1964. In Karlsruhe-Rüppurr, next to the hospital, the mother house with a chapel in the transition from the hospital to the mother house was built between 1931 and 1933. To this day, deaconesses and members of the diaconal community live in the mother house.

After the merger with the St. Vincentius Clinics in 2016 , the new provider operates under the name Vincentius-Diakonissen-Kliniken gAG (ViDia). The location in Rüppurr will be retained.
