background

After the incorporation of Jürgensgaard, the city ​​of Flensburg bought the Brix'sche Koppel from the heiress Sophie Brix in two installments between 1900 and 1902, which provided the basis for building houses on the land. The town villa called Söhrnsen-Stift was built in 1903 at Brixstraße No. 4 by the Flensburg town planner Otto Fielitz with the help of an architect called Rubink. The two-storey plastered building with half-timbered parts has a square floor plan. The western side of the building faces the Flensburg Fjord . Nowadays the monastery building is apparently used for residential purposes.

In the course of time, a number of monastery buildings were erected in the city , such as the Munketoft monastery in downtown Flensburg or the Rönnenkamp monastery in Fruerlund . In addition, around 1904 the “Söhrnsen-Stift” foundation was approved or its legal capacity recognized. The sole member of the Foundation Board is the respective Lord Mayor of the City of Flensburg . According to its statutes, the foundation in question serves to “promote care for the elderly, in particular the promotion of measures and projects with regard to the elderly staying in their own homes [...] as well as charitable financial support in individual cases for low-income elderly people to remain in their own Domesticity. The purpose of the foundation is realized through the use of the income up to the amount of the income from interest on the existing assets. "
