What Regens Wagner does

Regens Wagner is a Bavarian non-profit disability care organization founded in 1847 in Dillingen by Johann Evangelist Wagner and Sister Theresia Haselmayr of the Dillinger Franziskanerinnen order, originally as a deaf school (Taubstummenanstalt). Today it operates as a network of 14 regional centers with 50+ decentralized locations across Bavaria and a single international facility at Balatonmáriafürdő in Hungary, serving more than 10,000 people with intellectual, multiple, and hearing disabilities through 7,500+ staff. Service lines span residential living (Wohnen), day support (T-ENE), open assistance (Offene Hilfen), pastoral care (Seelsorge), sheltered vocational workshops (WfbM) in agriculture, horticulture, and manufacturing, farm shops (CAP-Märkte/Hofläden), hospitality and conference facilities, and a training-institution portfolio covering Heilerziehungspflege, Sozialpädagogik, and Kinderpflege.

The organization is governed by the Regens-Wagner-Stiftungen, an umbrella of eight independent church foundations (kirchliche Stiftungen des öffentlichen Rechts) under the supervision of the Diocese of Augsburg, with the Dillinger Franziskanerinnen retaining governance representation on the Stiftungsrat. Day-to-day operations are run by a three-member Stiftungsvorstand (Rainer Remmele as chair, Gerhard Reile as deputy, Matthias Bühler for finance) and the management team of Regens Wagner München (including the incoming Gesamtleitung Sabine Martin from July 1, 2026).

Regens Wagner is not a technology company. Revenue mechanics rest on a mix of public social security contracts under the German Social Code IX (SGB IX) framework, state-licensed WfbM workshop revenue, ancillary retail and hospitality sales, and supplementary donations channeled through the Regens-Wagner-Förderstiftung (established 2002). The Munich location (Traunsteiner Str. 16 and additional sites) functions as a distinct operating unit within the foundation umbrella, with regional centers operating semi-autonomously under shared governance, training infrastructure, and values derived from the Franciscan mission.
