Bad Ems – Diakonie Friedenswarte Foundation

Founding fathers of the diaconal organization are Pastors Georg Vömel and Rudolf Heydemann. At their instigation, an infirmary was established in Bad Ems, which was operated by two deaconesses from the Deaconess House in Bern. Many young girls joined the Friedenswarte Deaconess Community in the years that followed. The "Diaconissenheim" hospital was inaugurated in 1893.In the following decades, deaconesses from Bad Ems operated 12 hospitals, 70 municipal Diakonie stations and 3 kindergartens. A legal separation from Bern took place for political reasons in 1935.
After interest in joining the deaconess community declined after 1960, the number of deployment sites was also continuously reduced until the focus was put on inpatient geriatric care in 1976. In 1976, the "Georg-Vömel-Haus" nursing home in Bad Ems began operations. It was joined by the "Haus Hohe Lay" in Nassau in 1997.
The fields of activity of the Diakoniewerk Friedenswarte Foundation are currently experiencing an enormous expansion with regard to housing offers suitable for senior citizens and outpatient care for elderly people.
