Albatross - Web of Life

What Albatross - Web of Life does

Albatross - Web of Life (legal entity: Albatros GGmbH) is a Berlin-based nonprofit social services organization founded in 1984, operating across all 12 Berlin districts as well as the states of Brandenburg and Thüringen. It delivers a portfolio of seven integrated service categories: mental health and day structure support, social integration and counseling, self-help and community-building, children/youth/family services, health and care, education and employment, and migration and integration. The organization serves vulnerable populations including people with mental health conditions, refugees, individuals in social or financial distress, pregnant women, families, the elderly, and newcomers to Berlin.

The organization distributes services through a network of physical facilities—contact and counseling centers, refugee accommodations, youth and community centers, and employment/day structure facilities—complemented by a digital portal (albatros.social) organized by life situations (Lebenslagen) and an interactive location map (maps.albatros.social). The platform is designed with barrier-free accessibility and easy-language (Leichte Sprache) features to reach a broad beneficiary base. Recent infrastructure investments include groundbreaking for a new youth and community center at Auguste-Viktoria-Allee in April 2026.

Albatros generates revenue exclusively through government contracts with Berlin districts, Brandenburg municipalities, and Thüringen authorities—a managed-services model under which social services are publicly funded and provided at no direct cost to beneficiaries. The organization is a member of Der Paritätische Gesamtverband, one of Germany's largest social welfare associations, and is beginning to develop a complementary donation channel via its Spenden page. It holds GGmbH (Gemeinnützige GmbH) nonprofit status, with no disclosed parent company, investors, or M&A activity.
