What Kiek in - Soziale Dienste gGmbH does

Kiek in - Soziale Dienste gGmbH is a German non-profit social services company headquartered in Berlin-Marzahn NordWest at Rosenbecker Stra\u00dfe 25/27, established in 2011 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the parent registered association Kiek in e.V. Berlin (founded December 7, 1992). Since 2012, the gGmbH has progressively taken over trusteeship of facilities and projects from the parent association, and now operates a portfolio of at least seven community service facilities including the Kindertagesst\u00e4tte "Kiek mal" (daycare), the Nachbarschafts- und Familienzentrum "Kiek in" (neighborhood and family center), Kiez-Treff West (community meeting place), Nachbarschaftsladen "Kiek in" (neighborhood shop), NachbarinnenTreff Louise (women's meeting place), Familien-Grundschul-Zentrum Marzahn NordWest (family and elementary school center), and Mobile Stadtteilarbeit (mobile neighborhood work). Additional programming includes Jugendsozialarbeit an Schulen (youth social work at schools), seasonal vacation programs, and the "Gemeinsam STATT EINSAM" network supporting isolated seniors.

The company serves four primary beneficiary segments within the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district: children and families, youth and adolescents, seniors and the elderly, and the broader neighborhood community of all ages, addressing pain points such as social isolation, childcare access, youth integration challenges, and neighborhood cohesion. Its services are delivered primarily through physical community facilities rather than a digital platform; the organization's technology footprint is limited to a website-based information portal (kiekin.org) and standard social media presence (Instagram, Facebook for the Mobile Stadtteilarbeit unit). The company is a member of Der Parit\u00e4tische Berlin and VskA welfare associations, recognized as tax-exempt by the Finanzamt f\u00fcr K\u00f6rperschaften I (Steuernummer 27/613/02472), and registered at Amtsgericht Berlin Charlottenburg (HRB 138678).

The business model is government-funded social welfare services: revenue derives principally from public social welfare programs, youth welfare services, and community development grants channeled through the Parit\u00e4tische framework and Berlin district government (Bezirksamt Marzahn-Hellersdorf). Fee-based revenue is minimal and accessibility-driven — examples include dancing classes at \u20ac10/month from March 2026 and Kofferradio event tickets at \u20ac14 in advance / \u20ac15 at the door — while most community services are provided free of charge. Supplementary funding comes from corporate and foundation donations (HOWOGE, degewo, Sarah Wiener Stiftung, GCP Foundation, Netto Marken-Discount Stiftung, HORNBACH, MOSAIK Verlag, Hans-im-Gl\u00fcck Spieleverlag) and an active donation-account infrastructure at Berliner Volksbank. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
