Tür an Tür

What Tür an Tür does

Tür an Tür is a German non-profit organization headquartered in Augsburg, Bavaria, operating through three legal entities: a Verein (association) founded in 1992, Integrationsprojekte gGmbH (2005), and Digitalfabrik gGmbH (2016). The organization delivers integration services for migrants, refugees, and other marginalized populations, combining physical programs with open-source digital platforms. Physical offerings include a mentoring program with approximately 350 mentors matched to roughly 550 mentees, Café Tür an Tür as a community-facing venue, Haus Tür an Tür providing housing support launched in 2024, and Take Off! targeting labor-market access.

Digital products are developed primarily by Digitalfabrik gGmbH and center on the Integreat app, an open-source municipal information platform deployed in 100+ German cities with approximately 2 million users, alongside companion apps Malte and Lunes. A multilingual AI-powered chatbot for housing information retrieval is scheduled for cross-border DACH rollout (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) beginning in 2026 under the DACH project, which runs through 2028 alongside the parallel ID² project (2025-2028).

The business model is non-profit and grant-driven. Primary funding comes from European Social Fund Plus (ESF Plus), the German Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (BMAS), and Bavarian state ministries, supplemented by donations, membership fees, and incidental commercial activity at Café Tür an Tür. Distribution to municipalities relies on an open-source city-by-city replication model for Integreat, supported by national and EU-level award recognition.

Recent moves10 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Goethe-Institut: Germany's globally operating cultural institute providing German language courses and integration support for immigrants. Overlaps with Tür an Tür's language education programs but at vastly larger international scale and with greater institutional resources.
• Arbeiterwohlfahrt (AWO): Major German welfare organization providing migration services, language courses, employment integration, and refugee support. Operates nationwide with similar integration service portfolio but significantly broader geographic reach.
• Caritas Deutschland: Germany's largest Catholic welfare organization providing migration counseling, refugee integration, and social services. Joint partner in zib and offers directly overlapping integration services through 27 diocesan Caritas associations.
• Diakonie Deutschland: Large nationwide Protestant welfare organization providing integration, refugee, and social services. Operates as joint partner in Tür an Tür's zib counseling center and offers overlapping integration services at much greater scale across Germany.
• Deutsches Rotes Kreuz (DRK): National Red Cross society providing refugee support, integration, and social services at massive scale across Germany. Joint partner in Tür an Tür's zib counseling center; offers comparable integration programs but at national scope.

Regional players

• Münchner Flüchtlingsrat: Bavarian refugee advocacy and support organization providing counseling, policy advocacy, and integration services. Directly comparable model to Tür an Tür but focused on Munich rather than Augsburg; partner in BAVF Plus network.

Direct peers

• MigraNet: Network of Bavarian counseling centers supporting immigrant employment integration. Tür an Tür hosts a MigraNet Augsburg site and participates in coordinated BAVF Plus counseling — directly comparable model in same geography.
• Malteser Werke: German humanitarian organization providing migration, integration, and social services. Already an active partner of Tür an Tür (co-developer of Malte-App) with comparable scope in refugee support, language integration, and community services across Germany.

Emerging players

• Ankommen App: German government-backed mobile app for refugees providing information on asylum, German language, employment, and life in Germany. Direct functional competitor to Tür an Tür's Integreat platform with broader national reach and federal backing.

Others

• Hand in Hand für Deutschland: Initiative supporting volunteer engagement and integration projects for newcomers across Germany. Operates as an enabling/funding ecosystem rather than direct service provider, but supports similar community-led integration models that Tür an Tür employs.
