Brücke e.V. - München

What Brücke e.V. - München does

Brücke e.V. - München is a registered nonprofit association (eingetragener Verein, founded 1973) that delivers ambulatory youth welfare services within the German juvenile justice and school systems. Headquartered at Einsteinstraße 92 in Munich with a second site at Peißenbergstraße 29, the organization operates three interconnected service lines: (1) Pädagogische Maßnahmen im Jugendstrafverfahren (PMJ), which supervises court-mandated educational measures such as Arbeitsweisungen (community service orders), I.B.A. (intensively accompanied community service), imPULS writing orders, Betreuungsweisungen, Gesprächsweisungen, the MOVE school-offense project, and the LocalVoices peer-adjudication teen court; (2) ProGraM, a graffiti-prevention and intervention project; and (3) a Fachstelle für Mediation providing victim-offender mediation, school mediation, bullying coaching (MobbingCoach), and the MobS bullying intervention program launched in 2025. Approximately 20 staff (social pedagogues, mediators, family therapists, project coordinators) deliver services through a network of placement sites (Einsatzstellen), four partner schools, and the Staatsanwaltschaft München I.

The underlying 'platform' is human-delivered pedagogical and restorative-justice methodology — structured curricula such as Konflikttraining K.L.A.R., Kompetenztraining, FahrBar mobile workshop, and the MUKI/VATI mother-child program — rather than software. Service delivery is organized around specific case types (community service hours, conflict mediation sessions, group trainings) and tracked via case-management practices supported by public reporting (annual reports) rather than disclosed proprietary technology. The organization operates no public API, no app, and no listed integrations.

Brücke e.V. is funded almost entirely by public-sector commissioning under SGB VIII and the Jugendgerichtsgesetz: the Stadtjugendamt München, Jugendgerichte (youth courts), schools, and the Sozialreferat contract the organization for specific service volumes on multi-year terms. There is no commercial pricing to end clients, no venture or grant funding rounds, and no external investors — the entity is a membership-based nonprofit governed by a Geschäftsleitung currently led by Katja Stiehler, with Michael Steininger heading the PMJ department. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Reach is regional (Munich only), and 2025 external validation came via the Münchner Blaulicht Präventionspreis awarded to the MobS project on 16 December 2025.
