Werkstätten Materialhof

The Werkstätten Materialhof are an established institution in Rendsburg that has been dedicated to the vocational rehabilitation of people with mental disabilities for over 30 years. These workshops are supported by the Norddeutsche Gesellschaft für Diakonie (NGD) and are part of a comprehensive network of social services in Schleswig-Holstein. The Materialhof workshops offer a variety of services and products, ranging from vocational training to the production of high-quality goods.

• Vocational Rehabilitation: The workshops provide around 200 people with a framework for vocational training and reorientation in various trades. Expert guidance and socio-educational support help to develop individual skills and enable experiences of success[5].
• Services: In addition to vocational training, the workshops offer extensive services for private and business customers, including the manufacture of products and the provision of support services[1].

The main mission of the Materialhof is to support and promote people with mental impairments. The institution places great emphasis on the personal development and psychological stabilization of its employees. The Materialhof workshops strive for a comprehensive and inclusive working environment that promotes diversity and person-centered care[3][5].

Although explicit sustainability goals are not mentioned, the promotion of inclusion and the support of people with disabilities is a central concern. Through cooperation with other institutions and participation in broader social initiatives such as the NGD, the Werkstätten Materialhof contribute to social integration and participation[2][5].

The Materialhof workshops are part of a larger network of social services in Schleswig-Holstein and Berlin, which is supported by the Norddeutsche Gesellschaft für Diakonie (NGD). The NGD is an important player in the social economy and includes several institutions that specialize in different social services[2]. With its new logo and a modern corporate design, the NGD wants to emphasize the cohesion and diversity of its institutions[2].
