Life

Born in Sonneberg, Gisela Jahn came to the Meiningen District Hospital as an assistant doctor after completing her medical degree in 1957 . Here she built up the anesthesia during the GDR era . After the political change in 1989/90, she was the founding chairwoman of the Sozialwerk Meiningen eV association, which in 1994 brought about the Sozialwerk Meiningen gGmbH, where she was the managing director until 2004. The diaconal welfare organization is involved in geriatric medicine, youth welfare, addiction help, help for the mentally ill and the hospice system.

In 1996 Gisela Jahn was in charge of founding the Geriatric Specialist Clinic "Georgenhaus" Meiningen, which moved into the building of the former district hospital, which was dissolved in 1995. By 2003 she had the hospital converted into a modern specialist clinic. In 1997 Jahn founded an outpatient hospice service, which she converted into an inpatient hospice in 2006 . Already seriously ill, she inaugurated the new hospice building in the vicinity of the geriatric specialist clinic in January 2011. Gisela Jahn died on May 8, 2011 in “her” geriatric specialist clinic. For her voluntary work she was awarded the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany on ribbon in 2004. The new hospice was named "Dr. Jahn House".

On May 21, 2011, a public funeral service was held in her honor in the Meiningen city church in the presence of Bishop a. D. Roland Hoffmann and the regional bishop Marita Krüger. Her coffin was then carried in a funeral procession through the city center to the Meiningen Park Cemetery . A small figurative sculpture by Gisela Jahn, created by the sculptor Claudia Katrin Leyh, has stood in the foyer of the hospice since May 2012.
