Caritasverband im Landkreis Lörrach e.V.

What Caritasverband im Landkreis Lörrach e.V. does

Caritasverband im Landkreis Lörrach e.V. is a registered Catholic welfare association (eingetragener Verein) founded in 1958 and headquartered in Lörrach, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Operating as a legally independent local chapter affiliated with the Caritasverband für die Erzdiözese Freiburg, the organization delivers a comprehensive portfolio of social services free of charge to residents of Landkreis Lörrach, spanning general social counseling, migration and integration support, social psychiatry, assisted outpatient living, sociotherapy under §37a SGB V, debt counseling under §305 InsO, elderly and dementia care, school social work, youth services, neighborhood management, and volunteer coordination. Service delivery occurs through five physical offices across the district (Lörrach headquarters, Weil am Rhein, Zell im Wiesental, additional Lörrach location, Rheinfelden) plus embedded school social work placements and community facilities such as the Quartierstreff Weil am Rhein and Teilhabegarten Haltingen.

The organization is governed by a board chaired by Pfarrer Gerd Möller with Managing Director Gudrun Schemel, supported by four department heads covering mental health, social services, youth social work, and migration/integration. Technology infrastructure is minimal and non-proprietary: a TYPO3 CMS website hosted externally by 1&1 IONOS SE with standard SSL, Google Web Fonts, and YouTube integration, and no mobile app, API, or AI/ML capabilities. The technology posture is consistent with a small mission-driven local association rather than a technology-enabled service provider.

Revenue is sourced from a diversified mix of Erzdiözese Freiburg allocations, Landkreis Lörrach and Land Baden-Württemberg public contracts, federal funding from BAMF, Jobcenter program funding, project-specific grants from Deutsche Fernsehlotterie and EU sources, and donations (including a 14-year partnership with Kiwanis-Club Lörrach). Notable strategic relationships include joint operation of the Sozialpsychiatrischer Dienst with Diakonie, the ZUWEGE consortium for families in poverty, and formal cooperation with Pro Sinti und Roma e.V. starting March 2026. A December 2023 phishing incident resulted in a documented data protection violation report under §33 KDG.
