Evangelische Stiftung neinstedt: About us

The Nathusius established the Foundation in 1850. Their mission was simple: to bring the love of God closer to others, one human being to another, to open up greater possibilities for disadvantaged persons, and to give them the gift of house and home – the gift of community.

Grounded in Christian faith, all our actions are first and foremost motivated by people and their social needs. We are social-diaconal service providers in the areas of senior care, transitional and rehabilitative care, and youth welfare. We see ourselves as a diaconal organization with the obligation to provide services in a cost-effective and socially responsible way.

From the basis of Christian love of neighbor, we support individual, holistic formation and development.
In our common humanity: All people are created in the image of God, mind, soul, and body. We respect each and every person as having intrinsic value and worth. We seek to discern and develop the strengths that each person brings with them.

At the Evangelsiche Stiftung Neinstedt, we have faithfully formed and fostered people from all walks of life since 1850.
In our faithfulness: The Christian tradition lives in community. We provide residential options, work positions, recreational opportunities, and therapeutic possibilities. We value and engage in respectful and authentic conversation and listening together.

We can be trusted with loved ones.
As a qualified and innovative care partner, we assume responsibility of accountability and an open society.
In our responsibility: We give people confidence. To make our work better, we need partners throughout all of society. We are in standing dialog with our partners on how we can continue to evolve together. Our knowledge and skill set naturally forms common, shared life.
