Proteam Himmelsthur Ggmbh

What Proteam Himmelsthur Ggmbh does

proTeam Himmelsthür gGmbH is a non-profit sheltered workshop (Werkstatt für behinderte Menschen) headquartered in Hildesheim, Germany, operating as a 100% subsidiary of Diakonie Himmelsthür e.V. Founded in 2000, it serves approximately 480 people with intellectual or multiple disabilities across two locations (320 in Hildesheim, 160 in Wildeshausen), delivering vocational qualification, supported employment, and day-structuring services through fourteen specialized workshop modules branded under the "Möglichmacher" (Enablers) concept. These modules span industrial assembly and packaging (montier.bar), wood and metal fabrication (werk.bar), organic farming and catering (land.bar, kost.bar, Klostergut Sorsum), textile work (näh.bar), creative crafts (wunder.bar), retail and café operations (trag.bar), garden and landscape services (land.bar), an inclusive art studio (kunst.bar / Atelier Wilderers), easy-language document services (büro.bar), and a community laundry.

The organization monetizes through a diversified mix of B2B service contracts (automotive parts packaging, food industry packaging, gas station green-area maintenance for DS card + drive GmbH, festival crew services for FKP Skorpio), direct-to-consumer retail (trag.bar Secondhand-Café, Etsy, farm store, Bio-Gemüsekiste subscription boxes), catering and event services (kost.bar), art commissions and exhibitions, and subsidized WfbM compensation-levy income. Its proprietary technology footprint is limited: the didab digital learning platform supports vocational qualification through video and learning-box content, while the check.bar workshop produces custom learning media for the workshop offerings. Marketing relies on community networks within Diakonie Himmelsthür, cultural-event visibility (Sprengel Museum, M'era Luna, ROCKALLIN), earned media coverage, and direct enterprise sales relationships rather than paid acquisition.
