Former German religious institute From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Erlöserbund (Lat. Congregatio Salvatoris Mundi) was a German religious institute of episcopal right; it was founded in 1917 by Else Mayer and Alexandra Bischoff in Bonn.[1]
At the time of its approbation by the archbishop Joseph Frings of Cologne in 1958 the content had 148 sisters in several locations in Bonn, Breslau and other locations.[2] The institute's foundresses also supported women's rights and helped women to get into schools and universities which was still unusual at the time.
The institute closed in 2005 and was converted in a non-profit organisation. In a yearly award ceremony in Bonn a stipend is give to several select women who are doing outstanding work in the area of women's rights, academia and religious studies.[3][4]
