Evangelisches Diakoniewerk Bethanien Ducherow
Evangelisches Diakoniewerk Bethanien Ducherow (EDBD) is the name of a diaconal institution and church foundation in Ducherow in Western Pomerania .
history
The Diakoniewerk Bethanien has two roots, both of which are related to the Quistorp family : Wilhelm Quistorp , as a pastor in Ducherow, founded the Mission and Orphan Foundation in Ducherow in 1866, which later became the Bugenhagenstift . The facility named after Johannes Bugenhagen served as an orphanage and a teachers' college . Quistorp's plan was to “support orphans, train teachers and at the same time strengthen the economic power of the village of Ducherow”.
At the same time, planning for a deaconess home began in the Szczecin suburb of Neu-Torney . The entrepreneur Johannes Quistorp , a brother of Wilhelm Quistorp, equipped the establishment to be founded with a plot of 20 acres and a main building under construction on it. In 1869 the Bethanien Deaconess and Hospital was founded. The hospital grew to 220 beds, and in 1929 the sorority peaked with 460 nurses.
When the front moved back to Stettin in April 1945 towards the end of the Second World War , the hospital was evacuated. The surviving sisters found new tasks in the Bugenhagenstift in Western Pomerania , where the majority of the sisters had fled with a few saved belongings from the mother house. Others went to Züssow , where a new diaconal institution was established, and to the Johanna Odebrecht Foundation in Greifswald . A Bethanien hospital was established there in 1947 , which until 1988 belonged to the Diakoniewerk in Ducherow. Some sisters found a new sphere of activity in the Evangelical Johannesstift Berlin .
Ducherow became the seat of the Diakonissenanstalt Bethanien until it was merged with the Bugenhagenstift in 1980 in the Evangelical Diakoniewerk Bethanien Ducherow . With the help of church donations from West Germany, it was possible to build a larger modern building for mentally handicapped people (today the Bischof-Krummacher -Haus ) and to carry out further extensions and renovations.
Foundation, endowment
In 1980 the foundations "Bugenhagenstift Ducherow" (1866) and "Evangelische Diakonissenanstalt Bethanien Stettin-Neutorney" (1869), which had their own legal capacity, merged to form a joint foundation called "Evangelisches Diakoniewerk Bethanien in Ducherow". This foundation is the legal successor of the two foundations mentioned. It is a church foundation with legal capacity under civil law. The foundation supervision is carried out by the regional church office of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany . The Diakoniewerk follows the tradition of the deaconess mother houses in Kaiserswerther . Traditionally there is a close relationship with the Pomeranian Cooperative of the Order of St. John . However, the current version of the statutes no longer says, as it did earlier, that the foundation is an institution of the Order of St. John . The foundation promotes diaconal life, faith and service community and maintains facilities for the life of worship. It maintains and uses facilities for the promotion, rehabilitation, care and care of people of all ages who need help and care. The foundation is a legally independent work and is assigned to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany . She is a member of the Diakonisches Werk Mecklenburg-Vorpommern e. V. and thus belongs to the Evangelical Work for Diakonie and Development of the Evangelical Church in Germany as a recognized umbrella organization for voluntary welfare.
Until 1983 the foundation followed the Kaiserswerth model and was headed by the superior and the head, who was pastor. Today the foundation is managed by a board of directors, consisting of the theological board member and the commercial board member, as well as an eleven-member board of trustees.
The Diakoniewerk is a member of the Kaiserswerther Association of German Deaconess Mother Houses .
