history
On March 26, 1884, the Munich city dean Karl Buchrucker founded the “Association for Inner Mission in Munich”. At the same time, the idea of the Inner Mission spreads in the German Empire . It should give people a religious home and thus moral support. The focus of the newly founded association is initially on the moral instruction of the people through popular education, child and youth welfare and offers for the homeless and poor. In 1890, the Munich association was the first to set up the “Kinderbewahranstalt” in Blutenburgstrasse - a home for orphans and neglected children. In 1898 the so-called "summer freshness" for city children follows in the Lindenhof in the Murnauer Moos. In 1903 the social welfare organization acquired its first club house at Mathildenstrasse 6. The Löhe-Haus in Blutenburgstrasse is inaugurated in 1912.
After the First World War, the association intensified the Protestant youth welfare service, which offers, among other things, child recreation, educational advice and guardianship. In addition, he devotes himself - because of the increasing devaluation - to welfare care for the homeless and job seekers. There is free food for the poor; Warming rooms are set up, coal and clothes are distributed to those in need.
In the time of National Socialism , institutions were incorporated into the People's Welfare from 1933; other services, such as the station mission , are banned entirely. A collection ban damaged the association financially. Bombs hit many facilities. While the association kept a low profile in relation to the regime in order not to endanger its own work, the first cleric Friedrich Hofmann advocated “non-Aryan Christians”. From 1939 Johannes Zwanzger worked as a shop steward for the Grüber office.
After the end of the war, the Inner Mission is also dedicated to the numerous refugees from the eastern regions, offering hot meals in the people's kitchens and helping with clothing and food donations. The reconstruction of the destroyed buildings begins quickly. In addition, the Diakoniedorf Herzogsägmühle was transferred to the association in 1946. Old people's and children's homes are rented; the city mission, the midnight mission (today's prostitute counseling) and prison welfare start work in 1950.
The areas of responsibility later included looking after women, advising guest workers and district social work. The first young people begin their training at the Fachschule für Altenpflege (today: Evangelische PflegeAkademie). As a result of the economic crisis of the 1980s, the association takes special care of the unemployed, the homeless and, in order to implement the psychiatric survey of 1975, the mentally ill. In the following years he also founded the International Youth Center in Haidhausen, the International Mothers Center (today Treffpunkt Familie International) and set up a social service for refugees. In the 1990s, the social enterprise expanded in all areas: It became the sponsor of several day-care centers, and facilities for assisted living, social welfare stations and nursing homes were created in the elderly. In the area of migration services, the Inner Mission looks after refugees and asylum seekers in numerous reception facilities.
In 1995 the association founded the non-profit diakonia service company GmbH together with the Protestant deanery district. In 2003, the “Aid at Risk” department was spun off as a subsidiary with the name Evangelisches Hilfswerk München gGmbH. In 2005, Hilfe im Alter gGmbH and Hauswirtschafts- und Service GmbH were founded.
