What Kath. Erwachsenenbildung does

Katholische Erwachsenenbildung im Landkreis Freyung-Grafenau e.V. (KEB Freyung) is a registered non-profit Catholic adult education association (eingetragener Verein) headquartered at Abteistraße 23, 94078 Freyung, Germany, serving the rural Freyung-Grafenau district in the Bavarian Forest region. Operating under the structural oversight of the Diocese of Passau, the organization delivers lifelong learning programs to local adult learners, families with young children, and couples across eight thematic categories: Religion and Faith, Life and Parenting, Health and Nutrition, Creative Arts and Culture, International/Cultural Exchange, Society and Politics, Nature and Technology, and Continuing Education, supplemented by parent-child group sessions, ongoing courses, and central thematic events. Programmatically, KEB Freyung is integrated with the 2026 Bayerische Landesausstellung on "Musica Sacra" in Freyung and delivers a recurring calendar of themed weeks, cultural events, excursions (including Bildungsfahrten to the Chiemsee and Nibelungenfestspiele Plattling), and pilgrimages such as the announced Mont Saint-Michel and Chartres trip. The portfolio is operated through two regional educational centers, Bildungswerk Stadt Freyung and Bildungswerk Stadt Waldkirchen, with delivery via on-site courses, workshops, and community venues across the district.

The organization's technology footprint is deliberately minimal: a website-based information and registration system at keb-freyung.de with accessibility features (text resizing, contrast modes, accessibility toolbar), Facebook and Instagram accounts, an RSS feed, and an email newsletter. No mobile apps, APIs, SDKs, or proprietary technology stack are disclosed. The organization holds Certqua QESplus quality management certification for education providers, and is governed by 1. Vorsitzender Christoph Weishäupl, with Michael Winichner serving as Geschäftsführung (managing director). Banking and infrastructure partners include Sparkasse Freyung-Grafenau and VR-Bank Freyung; event co-organizers include Hanns-Seidel-Stiftung, Gemeinde Hohenau, Pfarrgemeinderat Schönbrunn am Lusen, and other local parish and cultural associations.

Revenue is generated through course and workshop fees across the eight program categories and recurring membership contributions from registered members of the association; certain public events such as lectures on electronic patient records (ePA) are offered free of charge. The go-to-market model is community-led and event-driven: programming is promoted through organic social media, RSS, and email newsletter, with participation occurring in person at the organization's premises or at partner locations across the district. Headcount is approximately six staff, with no disclosed subsidiaries, external investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
