Diakonissestiftelsen was founded in 1866 at the initiative of Crown Princess Louise, consort of the later king Christian IX. She instigated Louise Conring to make a study trip to Sweden, where the order had been active for ten years, and to Germany where pastor Theodor Fliedner had opened the first Deaconess motherhouse in 1836 in Düsseldorf-Kaiserswerth in 1836.[1] A building in Smallegade near their current site, contained a small hospital and residences for the Deaconess sisters.
Their current site was inaugurated in 1876. Their hospital in Smallegade closed in 1880.
The site todayedit
The main wing viewed from the garden
The Deaconesses' premises comprise 33,000 square metres (360,000 sq ft) of buildings on 4 hectares (9.9 acres) of land.[2] The original main building is a long three-winged building which runs along Peter Bange Vej. It was designed by Hans Jørgen Holm in a Neo-Gothic style inspired by medieval monasteries and manor houses. The complex has later been expanded by Gotfred Tvede (1922–1923) and Harald Gad (1937–1939).[3]
One of the former wash houses
To the rear of the main complex, facing the garden, is a couple of wash houses. Other buildings in the grounds include Søster Sophies Minde, located on Sønder Fasanvej. It was built in the 1950s to provide residences for retired Deaconess sisters.
Diakonissestiftelsen also owns the house Marthabo on the other side of Peter Bangsvej (No. 12) which houses a kindergarten. The building is from 1885 and was designed by C. Lendorff.[4]
2020 redevelopment planedit
In 2011, Diakonissestiftelsen announced plans for a DKK 500 million redevelopment of their site with the twofold ambition to integrate it more in the surrounding cityscape and creating a hub for social and healthcare-related activities. A masterplan competition for the area was settled in April 2012 with two interdisciplinary teams led by Tegnestuen Vandkunsten and Cubo Arkitekter as joint winners.[5]
A competition for the expansion and adaption of Søster Sofies Minde was won by Arkitema in December 2013.[6]
