1870
The Stiftung Liebenau – Then and Now
The Stiftung Liebenau was founded in 1870 by an association
of Tettnang citizens that had been initiated by
Adolf Aich, a local chaplain, with the aim of providing
a refuge for people with disabilities and the terminally
ill. The Pflege- und Bewahranstalt Liebenau (Liebenau
hospital and custodial institution) soon established an
excellent reputation both regionally and further afield.
By the end of the 19th century, it was home to over
400 people.
Today the Stiftung Liebenau (Liebenau Foundation) is
a non-profit-making organization affiliated with the
Catholic church. It provides social services, health care
and education in Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland
and Bulgaria. As such, it maintains a wide range of
facilities and programmes offering community-focused
services for the elderly, persons with disabilities, children
and young adults. The Stiftung Liebenau has close
ties with two other foundations, Stiftung Hospital zum
Heiligen Geist and Stiftung Helios – Leben im Alter.

Health Care
Health Care for Individuals with Special Needs
People with disabilities have a right to the best possible
health care. In many cases, professionals working with
individuals with cognitive and language impairments
require special training. To offer disabled people suffering
from mental or physical illnesses the care they need,
we run a specialist hospital, centres staffed by qualified
social workers and therapists and a psychiatric day clinic.
We also run a number of outpatient facilities, of which
some are also open to people without disabilities, the
elderly and others with special care needs.

Strength for the
Future
Education and Training
Every person requires different special skills and knowledge
and has individual strengths and abilities. To
foster these abilities, it is important to ensure that all
people have a chance to live up to their full potential.
We run schools for children and young adults with
special needs, provide vocational training for young
adults with learning disabilities and offer them support
in entering the job market. An additional focus of our
work is providing professional training for social work
or nursing.

How Can You Help?
Donations Transformed into Practice
The funding provided by social security and health care
benefits is insufficient to cover the costs of some social
services and programmes. The Stiftung Liebenau depends
on the generous support of caring and committed individuals
to carry out its social mission.
Your donations can help the Stiftung Liebenau to:
• Provide supplementary therapeutic measures for individuals
with severe physical and mental impairments
• Offer assistance for families and children requiring
extra support
• Develop pilot projects aiming to avert individual crisis
• Promote active involvement in the community and
encourage people to participate in voluntary activity.
