Heinrich-Haus

Heinrich-Haus gGmbH is a social services enterprise based in Neuwied in northern Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It operates a broad range of facilities for people with physical, learning and sensory disabilities as well as mental and psychological disabilities, and for seniors. Its services span schools, vocational training, sheltered workshops, day support centres, medical centres, residential homes and outpatient care. The organisation describes itself as a modern social enterprise and one of the largest employers in the region, with a Christian foundation and a future-oriented outlook. The Heinrich-Haus was inaugurated on 30 October 1928 after the Josefs-Gesellschaft acquired Schloss Engers and 19 acres of land from the Prussian domain administration to establish a home, healing and teaching institution for people with disabilities. It is named after Heinrich Sommer, a Catholic priest, pioneer of disability work and founder of the Josefs-Gesellschaft, and after the benefactor Heinrich Heide from New York. Today it is a company of the Josefs-Gesellschaft Köln (JG-Gruppe), which operates nationwide facilities for people with disabilities, schools, workshops, hospitals and senior homes. Services are delivered at locations in Neuwied, St. Katharinen, Höhn, Koblenz, Bendorf and Kettig. The Heinrich-Haus includes three state-recognised private schools: the Christiane-Herzog-Schule in Neuwied-Engers with a focus on motor development, the Wilhelm-Albrecht-Schule in Höhn in the Westerwald with a focus on holistic and motor development, and a vocational school in Neuwied-Heimbach-Weis where young people can attain the same qualifications as at public vocational schools. The Berufsbildungswerk (BBW) in Neuwied-Heimbach-Weis has qualified young people with disabilities in more than 30 professions since 1976. Sheltered workshops (WfbM) and day support centres (TAF) provide work and structured daily activities tailored to individual needs and strengths. Workshop areas include an auto repair shop, Culterra (floristry, gardening and landscaping), CAP-Markt, paint technology and interior design, a laundry, a wood centre, mittelrhein Logistik and KWN Neuwied (electrical/industrial assembly, metal construction, document shredding, graphics and printing). The medical offering includes a Medizinisches Versorgungszentrum (MVZ) and a Medizinisches Behandlungszentrum für Menschen mit geistiger oder schweren Mehrfachbehinderungen (MZEB). Residential and living services are available in Engers, Bendorf-Sayn, Heimbach-Weis, Neuwied, Kettig and Koblenz, and a senior centre opened in Engers in 2008 with single rooms and staff trained in dementia care. Outpatient nursing, assistance and specialist care support older, ill and disabled people in the region. The managing directors are Thomas Linden, Dirk Rein and Frank Zenzen. As a gGmbH, the organisation is a non-profit limited liability company and is not publicly listed.

The Heinrich-Haus was inaugurated on 30 October 1928. Its founding followed the acquisition by the Josefs-Gesellschaft of Schloss Engers and 19 acres of land from the Prussian domain administration, on which a home, healing and teaching institution for people with disabilities was established. The institution was named after Heinrich Sommer, a Catholic priest, pioneer of disability work and founder of the Josefs-Gesellschaft, and after the benefactor Heinrich Heide from New York. Since its founding, the range of services has been continuously developed. Over the decades the Heinrich-Haus expanded into a comprehensive social services provider. In 1976 the Berufsbildungswerk (BBW) in Neuwied-Heimbach-Weis began qualifying young people with disabilities; it now trains in more than 30 professions. In 2008 a senior centre opened in Engers, offering single rooms with private bathrooms and staff specially trained in dementia care. Today the Heinrich-Haus operates at locations in Neuwied, St. Katharinen, Höhn, Koblenz, Bendorf and Kettig, and is a company of the Josefs-Gesellschaft Köln (JG-Gruppe), which is active nationwide with facilities for people with disabilities, schools, workshops, hospitals and senior homes.
