Strong Women's Communities

With Salome Bender, historian and cultural mediator

Join us on a tour of the grounds of the deaconess community and hear the story of a community of strong and committed women. The beginnings of the Deaconess House in Riehen go back to the 19th century: in 1852, the young Superior Trinette Bindschedler started with two probationary sisters. This became a community that is still alive today. Find out how the deaconesses shaped important institutions of care work, such as the first community hospital. We look at works of art that reflect the faith of the community and follow in the footsteps of sisters on missionary journeys. On our way, we will probably also meet one or two sisters who can answer questions about the life of a deaconess today.
