background

On June 4, 1948, twelve former DRK sisters of the DRK sororities Stettin- Frauendorf and Kurmark in Eberswalde at Hemmelmark Castle near Eckernförde founded the DRK sisterhood Elsa Brändström eV in Gut Hemmelmark . The seat of the sisterhood was then established in Flensburg. In the early years, the motherhouse of the sisterhood was initially at the Flensburg-Mürwik naval hospital, where she was involved in nursing. At that time, the sisterhood was also involved in Burg auf Fehmarn , in the Baltic Sea resort of Dahme , in Eldagsen / Lower Saxony, in North / East Friesland, Niebüll , Leck and Eckernförde. With the establishment of the German Navy in the 1950s, the largely military use of the Flensburg-Mürwik base began again . In 1953, the general meeting of the DRK Sisterhood Elsa Brändström decided to build a new motherhouse and an associated after-work house for retired nurses and rooms for student nurses. In 1954, the current motherhouse of the sisterhood in Mürwiker Straße 2, near the Teufelsbrücke , was built by the architect Georg Rieve . In 1961, after planning by Karl Heinz Sönnichsen, this building was extended to the north. The brick motherhouse has a dormer-studded gable roof . The entrance is protected from precipitation by a column-supported cantilever plate . A glazed front part of the gable serves to illuminate the stairwell. Nowadays, the nurses care and support at home , in the clinic or on site in the motherhouse. Today there are twenty supervised apartments in the sisterhood's after-work house. Other rooms in the parent company are also used for training courses, team meetings and general meetings.
