St. Louis Altenheim

St. Louis Altenheim A beautiful senior nursing facility overlooking the Mississippi River The St. Louis Altenheim has been a fixture in the St. Louis community for over 100 years.

More than a century ago, there were St. Louis names that would become well known to local residents: Busch, Erker, Lemp, Cramer, Mayer, Stix, Stifel and many others. These prominent St. Louisans and the Founders of the Altenheim, joined together to provide a comfortable and caring haven to St. Louis' elderly, regardless of their religious or cultural background, and who could no longer maintain a

home. However, the catalyst behind the development of a residence for the elderly resulted from the extraordinary vision of six women who decided to issue a "General Appeal to German Women of the Community." Thus, the Ladies Society of the Saint Louis Altenheim was officially established. From the start, the founders purchased the historic Chouteau mansion on the scenic bluffs of the Mississippi River and made renovations before the first Altenheim residents moved in. The Altenheim was supported by many local businesses early in its history, including the Adolphus Busch family. During World War II, the Altenheim was headquarters to Air Raid Wardens and Red Cross workers.
