The Heinrich-Haus gGmbH is a modern, social services company in the northern Rhineland-Palatinate , with many facilities for people with physical, learning and sensory disabilities and seniors. The managing directors are Dirk Rein and Frank Zenzen. The rector is Pastor Paul Freialdenhoven, who is also part of the pastoral care team, as pastoral care as a Catholic institution is an important foundation of the work in the Heinrich House.

The Heinrich-Haus is a company of the Josefs-Gesellschaft Köln (JG Group), which operates nationwide with a variety of facilities for people with disabilities , schools, workshops, hospitals and retirement homes. It was inaugurated on October 30, 1928, after the Josefs-Gesellschaft acquired Engers Castle and 19 acres of land from the Prussian domain administration and established a home, remedial and educational institution for people with disabilities here. Since then, the offer has been continuously developed. It was named after Heinrich Sommer , a Catholic clergyman, a pioneer in the work of the disabled and founder of the Josefs Society, as well as the benefactor Heinrich Heide from New York.

Schoolchildren live, work and learn in the Heinrich House, young people learn a trade and adults with disabilities work in the workshops. They are supported by social, academic, professional and medical rehabilitation. The offer under the motto “The focus is on people” also includes medical and therapeutic services, outpatient care services and advice. Women and men spend their retirement years in the local senior center.

Education & work

The Heinrich-Haus has three state-recognized private schools with different funding focuses: the Christiane-Herzog-Schule with the funding priority motor development in Neuwied - Engers , the Wilhelm-Albrecht-Schule with the funding priority holistic and motor development in Höhn / Westerwald and the vocational school School in Neuwied- Heimbach-Weis . What all schools have in common is the concept of promoting participation and professional integration. Students can get the same degrees as in public schools.

In the vocational training center (BBW) with an integrated vocational school and connected boarding school, the Heinrich-Haus has been qualifying young people with disabilities in more than 30 professions since 1976. During and after their training they are advised and supported on their way to employment. The BBW is a member of the quality community of the seven vocational training centers for the hearing and speech impaired and certified to work with the hearing impaired.

In the professional assessment and support center (AFZ) of the Heinrich-Haus, young people with disabilities are supported in their search for the most suitable training, job or employment position. The services include various diagnostic and test procedures, the testing of practical skills in companies and the recommendation and mediation of measures for school, training or a job.

In the Heinrich-Haus, people with disabilities find a job that is tailored to their needs and individual strengths. There are workshops in Engers, Heimbach-Weis, St. Katharinen and in the Neuwied industrial area, as well as mining and production facilities, including a car workshop, Culterra (floristry, gardening and landscaping), CAP market, color technology and interior design, laundry, wood center, Mittelrhein Logistik and KWN Neuwied (electrical / industrial assembly, metal construction, shredding, graphics and printing). The handicrafts and services are geared towards private and commercial needs. In addition, the Heinrich-Haus has founded two integration companies: In 1994 the DLC (Service Center) Neuwied gGmbH and in 2003 the DG Mittelrhein GmbH in Bendorf.

The services of the outpatient nursing service also include short-term care and, if desired, nursing advice visits and the establishment of an emergency call system.
