The Dominikus -ringenisen-Werk , a church foundation under public law based in Ursberg (Swabia) , accompanies and assists people with disabilities in numerous places in Bavaria with a wide range of offers and services.
history
The Catholic priest Dominikusringenisen (1835–1904) built a facility for people with disabilities in the former Premonstratensian Abbey of Ursberg in 1884 . In 1897 he received approval to found a community of sisters, the St. Joseph Congregation Ursberg . The sisters, Franciscan Sisters, were responsible for looking after the people entrusted to them. Dominikusringenisen quickly expanded his facility not only in Ursberg. He acquired buildings and land in neighboring Krumbad , in Pfaffenhausen, Percha, Fendsbach, Maria Bildhausen and Grönenbach and made it possible for people with disabilities to live and work there. After his death in 1904, the St. Joseph Congregation continued to run the facility and expanded it. In 1927 the secularized Holzen Monastery , north of Augsburg, was acquired in 1929 as a former rural education home in Breitbrunn am Ammersee.
Between September 1940 and August 1941, as part of Operation T4 519 residents of the facility were transferred to other institutions. 199 of them were gassed in killing centers , 180 others died from starvation or lethal injections . It was not until 1984 that the institution publicly acknowledged its role in the Third Reich. From the 1970s onwards, additional services such as early intervention, day care centers, support centers, short-term care, vocational training and employee training took place. In the 1990s, new forms of living were expanded and the facilities offered and care structures were further differentiated. Due to the decreasing number of religious sisters, the St. Joseph Congregation made the institution independent on January 1, 1996 as a church foundation under public law.
Since 2005, regional and decentralized offers for people with disabilities have been created in Bavaria.
