history In 1865 the founder of the order of the Franciscan Sisters of the Holy Family, mother Elisabeth, née Josephine Koch, acquired one of the most beautiful “Couven” houses in the city of Eupen: the “little monastery”. Elderly women were taken in there for care. In 1982 the religious order had the current old people's home built. The quiet but central location in the heart of the city, between Hufengasse and Josephine-Koch-Park, offers residents the opportunity to live quietly and yet take part in city life, to go shopping in the city center or to meet friends. This location is ideal, especially for less mobile people, as they can easily visit the city center. Conversely, our house is open to elderly people outside and very easy to reach. Since 1993, a mixed sponsorship between the order of sisters and the hospital has been established. Since then, the senior center has been run under the name “Senior Center St. Franziskus”.
