history

Predecessor organizations of the Oldenburg Sisterhood are the Sisterhood of the Fatherland Women's Association in Seelow and the DRK Sisterhood Oderland in Frankfurt (Oder) .

A motherhouse was founded in 1912 by Marie von der Marwitz-Friedersdorf, chairwoman of the Patriotic Women's Association in Seelow, to train sisters. The purpose of the foundation was to improve the "plight of unserved old people and sick people in the country". The former deaconess Gertrud Kalupke, who had been working in other institutions since 1907, was the first to manage the motherhouse . Their fields of activity were in the Mark Brandenburg and its neighboring provinces.

The following areas of responsibility were served:

  • Seelow Hospital and Infirmary
  • Seelow infant home
  • Community hospitals in Bernstein, Neudamm and Wriezen
  • Private clinics in Cottbus, Frankfurt (Oder) and Stendal
  • Retirement home in Buckow
  • at times up to 50 community stations

The special tasks included caring for people suffering from smallpox and typhus (Seelow, 1910), caring for the war by seven sisters (1914-1918) and caring for a typhoid epidemic in Hanover (1926-1927).

In 1922, Superior Adele Lüdemann was entrusted with the management of the sisterhood. She directed the structure and working methods of the sisterhood to the existing structures of the Red Cross mother houses. A first state-recognized nursing school with twelve training places was established in Beeskow in 1934. On March 5, 1935, the Olderland Sisterhood (actual name: German Red Cross, Sisterhood Oderland eV, Seelow ) was founded. This sorority - like all other Red Cross sororities - was subordinated to the Office for Sororities in the Presidium of the DRK in Berlin in 1937 . The nursing school at the municipal hospital in Frankfurt (Oder) with 30 training positions was established as a second training facility in 1938. During the Second World War , 90 nurses worked in mobile medical formations in Norway, France, Poland, Russia and Italy and 30 nurses in reserve hospitals. 120 auxiliary nurses were trained and taken to the exam. The sisterhood lost five of its members in the war.

At the beginning of 1945 the sisterhood from Frankfurt (Oder) was recalled and, by order of the DRK Presidium, relocated to Meiningen and later to Karlsbad . During an air raid on Dresden in February 1945, all the sisters' personal papers, files and the sisterhood's possessions were destroyed during a transport. The head office administration was initially rebuilt in a private house in Karlsberg. Oberin Lüdemann and two other sisters were taken prisoners of war; one sister returned after 1948, five sisters were still missing in 1958 and four sisters died.

The Bremen Sisterhood of the Red Cross took over the sponsorship for the sororities and their members who had fled from the East in the summer of 1945. Up to 752 sisters were brought together again in Bremen . 172 sisters came from the Brandenburg , Märkisches Haus and Oderland Sisterhoods. Areas of responsibility were u. a. the Red Cross Hospital Bremen and auxiliary hospitals in Achim (Verden district) and Osterholz-Scharmbeck. The reserve shipyard hospital in the former Neuchâtel Castle (Friesland) was the sisters' first area of ​​activity in the Oldenburger Land . This also included helping to set up the state hospital in the former Sanderbusch naval hospital (today: Nordwest-Krankenhaus Sanderbusch ).

This collaboration led to the founding of the Oldenburg Sisterhood of the Red Cross in Sanderbusch in January 1947. In 1947 she was a founding member of the DRK regional association in Oldenburg and is now represented in the committees of the regional association by Oberin Helga Schumacher.

State nursing education

As early as May 1947, approval was given to set up a state-recognized nursing school with 30 training places. The number of training positions was later increased to 100.

In 1961, permission for the state-recognized training center for women who have recently given birth in Sanderbusch was obtained. In addition, a nurses' preschool started operations.

Today the school for health and nurses is run by the Nordwest-Krankenhaus Sanderbusch; The training is carried out by the Oldenburg Sisterhood of the Red Cross.

The training takes place in the Northwest Hospital; it is an academic teaching hospital of the University Medical Center Göttingen .

Facility

The nursing home of the sisterhood in Oldenburg is one of the typical nursing care facilities.

Due to the courtesy of the city ​​of Oldenburg , a nursing home was opened in August 1959 at Bodenburgallee 49. Initially, the house provided accommodation and care for 36 retired sisters who were in need of relaxation and working, and 14 preschoolers. In the course of time, the house has been converted into a retirement and nursing home and since 2003 has offered 48 single rooms, not just for Red Cross sisters.
