history
In the middle of the 19th century, representatives of the Christian churches recognized the increasing problem of unemployed and homeless people in Germany. At that time there were no social institutions for such fellow citizens, so that they had to resort to begging. On May 21, 1854, on the initiative of Clemens Theodor Perthes, the first hostel was founded in Bonn as a home for traveling companions.
The first workers' colony was finally founded in 1882 by Friedrich von Bodelschwingh in Wilhelmsdorf (today Bielefeld- Sennestadt ). From 1883 there was also a branch in Detmold, the "Branch Association for the Wilhelmsdorf Workers' Colony". The aim of the hostel and workers' colony was to combat migrant begging and the fact that money begged was often converted directly into alcohol. The accommodations therefore offered cheap accommodation for a short time, in return the residents had to commit to work and adhere to strict daily schedules. The consumption of alcohol in the hostels was and is prohibited.
The branch in Detmold eventually became an independent workers' colony: In November 1884, construction began on the home hostel at Mühlenstrasse 9, and it was ready for occupancy on October 1st of the following year. The construction, the cost of which is estimated at 30,000 marks, was financed by Princess Elisabeth zur Lippe (1833–1896), the wife of the former Prince Leopold III. However, as a condition of her support, she requested that her name not be associated with the hostel.
The establishment was evidently successful, because the first expansions followed soon afterwards: In 1891 the foundation acquired the neighboring property at Mühlenstrasse 7 and erected a second building with rental apartments and a homeless shelter here after the Klockesches Haus was demolished. In 1893 the house at Mühlenstrasse 5 (Bergersches Haus) also became the property of the foundation.
During the Second World War , the hostel buildings were partially destroyed by grenades and were later looted. Therefore, considerations arose to hand over the remaining buildings to the Diakonissenhaus Detmold for other use. But based on the experience gained after the First World War , a decision was made against it and the hostel was rebuilt. In the first post-war years, the hostel therefore also served as accommodation for refugees and displaced persons. In the 1950s, the intake of the unsettled and homeless continued to increase.
In 1976, the foundation acquired the building at Mühlenstrasse 3 and its outbuildings from the Grotegut community of heirs and converted it into a workshop and storage space.In 1982, the building at Grabbestrasse 3 was also acquired after the last owner passed away. Workshops, offices and leisure rooms as well as other home spaces were set up here. The foundation's property now extended from Mühlenstrasse 9 to Grabbestrasse, only interrupted by the town kitchen, which had been renting a building since 1891.
The hostel foundation has not been spared from recent financial problems. Of the eight buildings previously on the Mühlenstrasse / Grabbestrasse property, only four are now there: the listed buildings at Mühlenstrasse 7, 9 and Grabbestrasse 3 and the house where Ludwig Altenbernd died on Grabbestrasse, which serves as a workshop. The city kitchen, which was demolished in 2002, was integrated into the hostel building.
tasks
The hostel sees itself today as a facility for “people in special social difficulties”. It offers outpatient assisted living, training apartments (for the reintegration of those released from prison), help for single mothers, runs a flea market project, the children's kitchen as well as the city kitchen and the Detmold Tafel , supports addicts in combating addiction and does street social work .
The Herberge zur Heimat finances its work with funds from the Regional Association of Westphalia-Lippe and funds from the Lippe district and the city of Detmold. Sub-projects like the children's kitchen are financed from donations.
