50 years of Fliedner Nursing School: A celebration for the future of nursing!

The Fliedner Nursing School in Mülheim an der Ruhr celebrated two important anniversaries this year: its 50th anniversary and the 30th anniversary of headmaster Dirk Raskopf. With a festive event on June 5, 2025, the school was able to look back on five decades of committed educational work. The aim of the celebrations was not only to honor the past, but also to provide an outlook on the future of the nursing profession. [Lokalklick](https://lokalklick.eu/2025/06/20/pflegeschule-der-theodor-fliedner-stiftung- Feiert-50-jaehriges-jubilaeum/) reports that the chairman of the board, Frank Eibisch, and Christoph Gülicher, the head of the new education center of the Theodor Fliedner Foundation, warmly welcomed those present.

A colorful supporting program, which included a food truck and refreshing drinks, ensured the right celebration mood. These celebrations are a clear expression of the Theodor Fliedner Foundation's efforts to inspire young people to care. In the modern premises in Parkstadt Mülheim an der Ruhr, comprehensive nursing training is offered that optimally combines theory and practice. The training takes place at various geriatric care facilities and at the Fliedner Hospital in Ratingen. Detailed information about the training offers can be found on the foundation website.

New training paths and perspectives

On the way to future-oriented nursing training, the Fliedner Nursing School has also introduced the entry-level nursing qualification. This gives young people with difficult access to the labor market a valuable perspective. Those interested can start the regular three-year training to become a nursing specialist from April 1st, September 1st or October 1st. There is also a one-year training course to become a nursing assistant, which begins on February 1st or July 1st. The school sees great opportunities to promote committed young talent and train the urgently needed specialists.

Given the challenges in the nursing sector as a whole, it is essential that committed nursing educators continue to be found who can pass on their knowledge to the next generation. The Fliedner Academy in Parkstadt is preparing to become a center for further education and training in nursing, health and social affairs in order to respond to the needs of skilled workers and trainees. Among other things, training courses are also offered that can be carried out online or directly on site, which enables modern and flexible further training.

A look at the future

Overall, the Fliedner Nursing School is optimistic about the coming years. The school plans to further develop and bundle its educational offerings in order to create even broader perspectives in the nursing profession. This comprehensive strategy will not only improve content, but also increase interest in nursing careers in the long term. At a time when the demand for nursing staff is constantly increasing, the Fliedner Nursing School shows that it is a reliable partner in training and personal and professional development.
