Formerly "The Deutsches Altenheim", The Cincinnati Foundation For The Aged was formed as a retirement home for immigrant
workers in Cincinnati. Many were of German descent and worked for the many brewing compaies in Over the Rhine. On
December 31, 1890, twenty-five of Cincinnati's business and professional leaders met and signed the articles of incorporation.
Some of the notable were; JG Schmidlapp, Christian Morelein, John Hauck, Frederick Alms, Albert Erkenbrecker, Charles Hoefinghoff,
Justus Goebel, Frank Tuchfarber, Charles Albrecht, Frank Duhme, Henry Snider, and Gustav Tafel.
A retirement home
was opened on April 23, 1893 at Burnet and Elland Avenues, in Mt. Auburn. More than fifty aged men occupied "The Duetsches
Altenheim". Here, they could live out their lives, with a feeling ofsecurity; knowing that never again would they need to
seek for a home. The home was sold to Childrens Hospital in the 1960's. Sincde then, the Foundation
has been subsidizing the costs of individuals living in Cincinnati area retirement facilities.
