"... Moved by the testimony of the Bible and by ecumenical encounters, Theodor and Friederike Fliedner gave an answer to the social needs of their time in Kaiserswerth in 1836.
They developed a new form of diaconal service for women. The focus was on the office of deaconess, nursing and education.
"In the beginning there was an idea with power," says the first sentence of the sisters' rule. In 1836 Theodor and Friederike Fliedner established the office of deaconesses and built the first deaconess motherhouse in Kaiserswerth. The women lived there in a community of life, faith and service.

From here, deaconesses were sent out to the many stations at home and abroad, and here they returned to gather strength for their work in the community.
Today there is a hotel in the mother house.
