The Sisterhood of Coburg from the BRK - Marienhaus - e. V. was a non-profit, registered association with around 500 employees who worked as members and employees in, among other things, the sick, children's and elderly care or as midwives .
history
In 1900 the district administrator of the district of Coburg , Albert Schmidt , suggested the establishment of an association for rural health and welfare in the Duchy of Coburg. As a result, an association for the training of nurses was formed, which was named after the Duchess of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha , Marija Alexandrowna Romanowa , "Marienverein". The Marienhaus was built as the motherhouse on Seidmannsdorfer Straße in Coburg, near the former rural hospital, now the clinic . It opened in the following year.
In January 2017, the Coburg Sisterhood had to file for bankruptcy.
Leadership and self-image
The management consists of the board of directors and the advisory board, which is elected by the general assembly.
The sisterhood is one of four Bavarian and a total of 33 German Red Cross sisterhoods. Its umbrella organization is the Association of Sisterhoods of the German Red Cross.
The principles and goals of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement are part of the Sisterhood's self -image .
Tasks and facilities
The sisterhood has its own facilities, but also sends nursing staff to facilities of other providers in Upper and Middle Franconia via provision contracts .
The sisterhood is the operator of the senior living center of the Red Cross Sisterhood in Coburg. The nursing home has a fully inpatient area as well as interspersed short-term care.
In addition to care, the vocational schools for geriatric care and geriatric care assistance and nursing and children's nursing as well as the areas of housekeeping, technical service and administration form further areas of responsibility for employees.
