The children's home Warburg was a children's home on the East Frisian island of Norderney , which existed from 1920 to 2004.
history
In January 1920, the district newspaper called on the population in the Warburg district to donate to the purchase of a convalescent home on the North Sea island of Norderney, in which needy children and sick people from the Warburg district should be housed every year to restore and strengthen their health. District Administrator Dr. Josef Schoenkaes formed a collective committee with prominent representatives of the clergy, clubs and associations. At the end of 1920, the district was able to acquire the house at Damenpfad 37 , which, however, already proved to be too small when the first cures were carried out. The building was sold again and in August 1921 the building of the steam washing and chemical cleaning facility Norderney AG in the dunes at what was then Chausseestrasse 15 was acquired. This became the property of the district on October 1, 1921 and was converted into accommodation for 70 children and furnished. For the first 16 years, missionary sisters from Hiltrup ran the house on their own.
In 1924, the Warburg district agreed with the old Höxter district that they would participate by occupying 35 beds and building a new extension, which in 1925 increased the number of beds to 136. The site was expanded by leasing and later buying adjacent properties, including the parcel at Jann-Berghaus-Strasse 41 , which then became the address of the home.
In 1937 the management of the home of the sisterhood of the Red Cross Frankfurt a. M. 1866 e. V. transferred. The home directors were the DRK sisters Liesa Grohsmann (until 1939), Anna Bange (until 1961), Julia Unterbarnscheidt (until 1971) and Christa Porsiel (murdered in 1977).
During the Second World War , a naval unit was housed in the building due to the expansion of Norderney into a sea fortress .
In 1947 the spa business was resumed. In addition to the Warburg and Höxter districts, the building was also occupied by the Westphalia-Lippe Regional Association and other posting offices. In 1962 the Altkreis Höxter gave up its participation in the home for financial reasons. The old district of Warburg had the old building renovated in 1967 and the extension built in 1925 torn down in favor of a new building that was inaugurated in May 1970.
In 1975 the home came into the ownership of the new Höxter district due to the regional reform . In 1977 the 41-year-old director of the home, Sister Christa Porsil, was murdered. Thereafter, the district of Höxter ended the management of the home and rented it in 1978 to the Association of Christian Scouts and Scouts , Dortmund district , which operated it until 2004.
Succession as "Haus Klipper"
The Kinder- und Jugendhilfe Outlaw gGmbH has been the leaseholder of the home since 2005 and operates it as a guest and youth house under the name Haus Klipper . In 2012, in partnership with the Höxter district, he had the home building from 1970 demolished and replaced by a new building with 164 beds. For this purpose, the announcement was made: "Building on the school camp tradition of the Höxter district, children, young people and families will remain the most important target group in the Klipper in the future" The address is Jann-Berghaus-Straße 40 .
Norderney poem
At the end of the 1920s the following poem was composed and sung by residents of the home:
Oh, how beautiful it is in Norderney
We live there so happily and freely
Merrily waving our flags
We don't need to go to school
Yes, six weeks of spa treatment
There is no trace of homesickness
We always look happy
There is no curmudgeon here
And when we stand in the harbor
And waving apart
Then the flag is waved again
And steered the course to Norddeich
Others
The Warburg children's home was not the only one of these facilities on Norderney. In addition to the island boarding school Norderney , the Villa Meeresburg - formerly Villa Edda - (Viktoriastraße 14) should be mentioned here. The Wanne-Eickel children's home was housed here from 1921 to 1981 . The Marienheim (Georgstraße 5) is now used as an apartment house. In addition, there was the Upstalsboom children's home (today the Oldenburgische Landesbank building, Strandstrasse 3), the Bielefeld children's home and the Vestische children's home . In addition, children's rest homes were run by private individuals. The children's health home Arnsberg has been run by the Hochsauerlandkreis since 1921 . The Lippe district has been running the Detmold house since 1951, initially as a children's health resort on Lippestrasse. The house was built in 1934 as a barracks building. Initially, the house was leased until the district bought the building in 1964. The children's health home was closed on January 1, 1989. Since then, the Lippe district has been operating a school and leisure home in the building. Extensive acquisitions of buildings in the Nordhelm-Siedlung have made it possible to expand the offer for families.
