Guben – Naemi-Wilke-Stift

The Naemi-Wilke-Stift was founded in 1878 as a private foundation of the Guben hat manufacturer Friedrich Wilke (1829-1908). In 1888, it was placed under the supervision of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Prussia (Altlutheraner). Its legal successor today is the Selbständige Evangelisch-Lutherische Kirche (SELK - Independent Evangelical Lutheran Church).

The institution, which is managed as a foundation of the church today, used to be the Deaconess Mother House of the Ev. Luth. (Old Lutheran) Church. From the beginning, the work of the foundation included a hospital and a kindergarten.

In 1992, the former district hospital of Guben was transferred into the sponsorship of the foundation. Other fields of work were added in the years that followed: a social station, an educational and family consulting center, a school for health and nursing care, logopedics, ergotherapy, expansion of the physiotherapy section and others.

The focus today is on the hospital with 151 beds for the northern part of the Spree-Neisse district with the specialist disciplines of surgery, internal medicine and orthopedics.
