Architecture and history

The three-storey building made of natural stone masonry is a donation from the Bremen businessman FW Kiffe to the community of Oerlinghausen. It was built in 1888 and at that time served as a "nursing home". In the two world wars of the 20th century it was used as a hospital for wounded soldiers.

Economic problems arose in the 1920s and 1930s and the Kiffsstift was only able to hold its own with great difficulty. In 1954 it was given to the Evangelical Relief Organization in Detmold . In 1991 it was dissolved as a non-profit foundation and the house was assigned to the city of Oerlinghausen and the Evangelical Reformed Church . In 1994 the board of the Protestant-Reformed parish in Oerlinghausen, under the direction of Erich Diekhof , decided to build a new old people's home with the involvement of the Kiffe- und Mariannenstifts . The Evangelical Center for the Elderly Oerlinghausen opened in 1996.

The non-profit Ev. Altenzentrum Oerlinghausen GmbH, responsible for the facility, decided in 2011 to expand the center for the elderly. The new building is located on Robert-Koch-Straße between the Kiffe- and Mariannenstift and was completed at the end of 2012. Those responsible had decided on a new building that deliberately stands out from the listed natural stone houses on the right and left.
