History

At the end of the 19th century, God led several young women to a form of living serving entirely Him, which to them meant (among other things) not to marry and not to have personal income. A pastor in eastern Germany (now part of Poland) and those women found together and in the house of this pastor they founded a (there were and are others) deaconess-motherhouse, in the beginning with 4 deaconesses. The idea was revolutionary, because this way of living enabled unmarried women to have the status (and financial security) of married ones, even to do full work in churches.

In the next decades the idea spread and several other motherhouses were founded. After some troubles and moves in and around the first and second world war, in the early 1960s there have been almost 4000 deaconesses in 6 motherhouses in many parts of Germany.
