Rostock district: Güstrower workshops go to Diakonie Güstrow!

Güstrow, Deutschland - What is going on in the Rostock region? The focus is currently on the Güstrower workshops, since the committees of the district council in the Rostock district advise on the transfer of their shares to Diakonie Güstrow e.V. This measure aims to make the social offers in the district more efficient in view of the tense financial situation. According to ndr , the transmission could already be effective on January 1, 2026, provided that all of them are involved and the district agreed.

The Güstrower workshops are not a blank leaf. They were founded on January 1, 1993 and at that time merged with rehabilitation workshops from the former districts of Güstrow and Teterow. Today, gGmbH employs up to 900 people in the Rostock district and offers a wide range of services in 24 different locations. The offers include workshops, day groups, dormitories, outpatient assisted living and an integrative day care center. School education is also not neglected, because there is a special school for intellectual development, as the website of the Güstrower workshops explains here .

a seamless transition

The Diakonie Güstrow has clearly communicated that this transfer for the employees of the workshops will not change. Together with the Diakonisches Werk Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, she will continue to act as the carrier of the workshops. This gives the employees and supervisors a reason to rest, since they will continue to receive the usual offers and support.

But why this step? As part of the current financial challenges, the municipalities have become increasingly important to make their social offers sustainable. Diakonie tries to find a solution with the transfer of the Güstrower workshops that meets the needs of all those involved. This project is part of a more comprehensive strategy for promoting participation and inclusion of people with disabilities that have become more important in Germany since the Federal Party Act. The aim is to create an inclusive society that focuses on self-determination and individual support for people with disabilities, as the Diakonie emphasizes here .

diverse offers for all

In the Güstrower workshops, employees benefit from a variety of measures to vocational rehabilitation and personal development. This includes music and dance therapy, creative design, promoting basic skills and sporting activities. At a time when inclusion is very important, the Güstrower workshops and their carriers actively work for the breakdown of barriers.

The whole thing is in the flow and it remains exciting how things will develop. The course is set, and until the expected transmission, it is only to be hoped that everyone involved will have the best for people in the Rostock district. You can look forward to the next steps!
