After the partition of Germany, it had become impossible to train East and West German students of deaconry together. While the latter remained at the Johannesstift, the former lived and studied at a new training facility - known as a 'Bruderhaus' - that had been established at the Stephanus Foundation in Weissensee. This book charts the history of a school which, although fraught with tension and conflict, enabled young male (and later female) Christians - despite the numerous obstacles posed by the East German political and social order - to devote themselves to Christian social work and care for those 'on the fringes' of society.
