The Nuremberg Institute for the Blind is a private institution and operates the Nuremberg Education Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired .
history
On June 19, 1854 the Nuremberg St. Johannisverein opened a private school for the blind. This initially took in children, from 1888 also adults. Religious affiliation played no role. In 1932 the school for the blind was merged with the Central Franconian home for the blind, the support association for the blind and the association for the blind to form a working group. From 1943 the operation was restricted due to the war, after January 2, 1945 it was completely stopped. On September 1, 1946, teaching was resumed, which was carried out in a new workshop building from 1954. From 1955 onwards, a school for the visually impaired was added to the asylum for the blind . In 1967 it was recognized as a special school and the non-profit sponsoring association "Blindenanstalt Nürnberg" was founded. In 1973, the training of adult blind people ended , and from then on it took place in the South German retraining center for later blind people . In 1978 the asylum for the blind moved into a new building in the Langwasser district of Nuremberg .
Later, the Nuremberg facility became supraregional, as more and more visually impaired people from the near and far wanted to go to the facility. So the five northern Bavarian districts (Central, Upper and Lower Franconia, Lower Bavaria and Upper Palatinate), the two churches and the city of Nuremberg were added.
