We continually develop our low vision concept, which helps improve every-day life for visually impaired people, for example, by means of stronger lighting and better orientation opportunities.

In our workshops we produce high-quality products. We have a weaving department, where we produce hand-woven carpets, chair cushions etc. In our ceramics department, we produce a variety of ovenware (ceramics). Another department is occupied with file shredding. As an additional service, we have a group that does sorting and packing work. We adjust the duration and type of work to the individual ability of each handicapped worker.

Our home with 115 places offers a harmonic life together in groups. The staff also cares for severely handicapped people.

In addition to physical therapy we offer psycho-therapy, music-therapy, horse riding, mobility training and sports.

Projects like the Small Gallery of Senses, the Blackbox, the theatre group and the workshop choir help our inhabitants be creative. The monthly events of our Workshop Culture series of performing arts bring disabled and healthy people together in a relaxed atmosphere.

Our institute employs an array of professional staff including social workers, nursing staff as well as educators and professionals for living skills. Psychologists are also available for therapy sessions and for supporting the living conditions of the blind and visually impaired. We also provide additional supervisory support for our employees to aid them in the daily challenges of this work environment.
