Diakonie Regensburg

What Diakonie Regensburg does

Diakonie Regensburg (legal entity: Diakonisches Werk des Evang.-Luth. Dekanatsbezirks Regensburg e.V.) is a non-profit social services organization founded in 1945 and headquartered at Am Ölberg 2, 93047 Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany. It operates as a registered association (eingetragener Verein) under German church law as part of the Protestant Diakonie network. The organization delivers a broad portfolio of social welfare services across four primary beneficiary segments: families, children, and youth (four Kindertagesstätten including Kinderhaus Tegernheim, Kindergarten Spatzennest, Kinderhaus St. Nikolaus Thalmassing, and Kinderhort Nittendorf; Erziehungsberatung; Alleinerziehendenberatung; Betreutes Jugendwohnen; Quartiersmanagement); people with mental health challenges (Beratungsstelle für psychische Gesundheit / Sozialpsychiatrischer Dienst, Tageszentrum Café Insel, Ambulant Unterstütztes Wohnen, Therapeutische Wohngemeinschaften, Johann-Hinrich-Wichern-Haus, and the regional Krisendienst Oberpfalz / Beratungsstelle Horizont); senior citizens (two nursing homes — Argula-von-Grumbach-Haus in Nittendorf and Leonhard-Kaiser-Haus in Bogen — plus the Seniorenbegegnungsstätte im Gustav-Adolf-Wiener-Haus); and people with severe disabilities (Persönliche Assistenz / Individuelle Schwerstbehindertenbetreuung). Vocational integration is provided via the Werkhof workshop.

The underlying technology stack is non-proprietary and operationally lightweight: a Typo3-based CMS website for service information and donation processing, the Twingle donation platform, BKP Compliant for whistleblower intake (to meet DSG-EKD obligations), OpenStreetMap for facility mapping, and Facebook Insights for social analytics. No proprietary software, AI/ML systems, or digital products are disclosed. There is no mobile app; distribution of services is entirely physical/in-person through owned facilities plus community outreach and the Bahnhofsmission station-based program.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: donations and charitable contributions (including corporate gifts such as Infineon's 2,000 EUR for the Johann-Hinrich-Wichern-Haus Zeltfreizeit), annual membership fees (15.00 EUR for private individuals), and government/social-insurance reimbursement plus Kirchensteuer allocations for care and counseling contracts. The organization employs 501-1,000 staff supported by more than 200 volunteers (Bürgerhelfer). Governance is provided by Vorstand Dr. Michael Reil and the Verwaltungsrat (2025-2029) chaired by Dekanin Karolin Gerleigner.
