Life
Wilhelmine Fliedner was born on April 5, 1835 as the daughter of Theodor and Friederike Fliedner . She grew up mainly in Kaiserswerth and Strasbourg . She had a relatively inconspicuous childhood. In the years 1858 and 1859 she attended the teachers' seminar in Düsseldorf , whose exam she passed on September 8, 1859 before the royal examination board. Then she worked from November 1, 1859 for two years as a tutor in Hilden.
On January 7, 1861, Wilhelmine Fliedner submitted a request to establish and run a school in Düsseldorf. It received approval on January 18 of the same year. Thereupon she gave up the work as a private tutor in March 1861 and opened the "Hildener Töchterschule" on May 6, 1861 with the help of two sisters. Before she devoted herself entirely to school, however, Wilhelmine Fliedner completed her studies (with a focus on French) in Switzerland in 1862.
On October 25, 1865, she ceremoniously opened the new school and boarding school building on Gerresheimer Strasse in Hilden. She took over the management herself until 1883. In the years 1883 to 1900 Fliedner took over the office of head of the deaconess institution Kaiserswerth in Düsseldorf-Kaiserswerth for 17 years .
Wilhelmine Fliedner died on Good Friday, April 1, 1904, at the age of almost 69.
In April 1955 the "Wilhelmine Fliedner Realschule" named after her was founded, which was closed in July 2019.
Today the successor to the Realschule, the Wilhelmine Fliedner Comprehensive School, is named after her.
