Diakoneo

Diakoneo Wohnen Bruckberg is a residential and support organization for people with intellectual and additional disabilities. It describes its community as a place to live and meet, offering tailored assistance that supports individual needs and self-determined living. Across Bruckberg, Dietenhofen and Erlangen, the organization provides housing and work opportunities for children, young people and adults. Accommodation includes houses, apartments and studios, with both residential and ambulatory support, offering a home away from the family home.

Its services extend beyond housing to include therapy, meaningful activities and leisure opportunities. In Bruckberg, the organization operates a special education centre, services for older people, a day centre for people with high support needs, and a workshop for people with disabilities. At the workshop, trained craft and educational staff support participants in developing practical skills across metalwork, industrial production, basketry and services. Diakoneo Wohnen Bruckberg also offers community activities, including sport and theatre, and operates a café and shop. Its approach combines accommodation, work, assistance and participation in community life.
