Praise the White House

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Gottlob-Weißer-Haus is a nursing home in Schwäbisch Hall . The organization is supported by the Evangelisches Diakoniewerk Schwäbisch Hall .

history

The house was built in 1912 by the Evangelical Diakoniewerk in Hall as a "home for the weak-minded" for around 500 disabled women and children. It was later named after Pastor Gottlob Weißer, who was head of the Diakonissenanstalt from 1900 to 1930.

In November 1940, Nazi authorities confiscated the Gottlob-Weißer House. All residents had to leave the house within a week. 265 patients could be accommodated in the Diak itself. However, 240 had to be transferred to the Weinsberg sanatorium . 184 of them were murdered in 1940 and 1941 as part of the euthanasia program “ Aktion T4 ” in the Nazi killing centers in Grafeneck and Hadamar .

In 2011 the “Zeitfenster” museum room was set up in the former dining room of the Feierabendhaus.

Facility

Today the house has 117 places for permanent residence and an additional 16 places for short-term care.
