Scheuern Foundation
Scheuern Foundation

The Scheuern Foundation (German: Stiftung Scheuern) is a diaconal institution for the disabled. It cares for people with intellectual disabilities, acquired brain damage, and mental illness. The Scheuern Foundation supports these groups of people with a wide range of services, from individual forms of housing, education, and training to jobs in sheltered workshops and in local companies. It also focuses on therapeutic support for people with disabilities, day and leisure activities, guest care as part of preventative care, and much more. The Scheuern Foundation, a civil law charitable organization, is headquartered in the Scheuern district of Nassau. Along with several listed buildings located there, the foundation manages numerous other homes in the Rhine-Lahn-Westerwald region. It has approximately 1200 employees and is a member of both Diakonie Hessen and the Bundesverband Evangelische Behindertenhilfe (BeB) (Federal Association of Protestant Disability Assistance). The Scheuern Foundation has a long and eventful history dating back to its establishment in 1850, with some of its buildings being significantly older. During the National Socialist era, the Scheuern Foundation was the only institution associated with the Inner Mission to serve as an intermediate institution for the Nazi killing center Hadamar, setting a precedent with its takeover. For over 1500 people, the Scheuern Foundation was the last stop before they were murdered. During this time, 153 individuals died within the facilities of the Scheuern Foundation. The post-war era until the 1980s saw a modification in the attitude towards disabled individuals in society. There was no conscious confrontation with the National Socialist past until the mid-1990s. There have been ongoing structural changes up until the present year of 2020 and beyond.
