Walderseestift

In 1914, Countess Waldersee donated the house at Hohenzollernstrasse 40 to the Malche , which later became the “sister company of the Malche women's mission”. In the beginning several old women who wanted to “serve the Lord” found their last home here. Schoolgirls, among others, were also able to study the Bible here .

Among the well-known personalities of the Walderseestift was, for example, the headmistress Hildegard von der Goltz , a daughter of the senior consistorial president Hans von der Goltz (1864–1941).

At the time of National Socialism and during the air raids on Hanover in World War II , the Walderseestift served as emergency accommodation, for example for the family of Pastor Eduard Steinwald , after the Markuskirche and the neighboring rectory on Hubertusstrasse were partially destroyed by aerial bombs in August 1943.

In the post-war period in 1958 the company moved to Barkhausen near Porta Westfalica .
