Heils-armee Buchseegut

The Heilsarmee Buchseegut (Salvation Army Buchseegut) in Koniz offers living and working places for people who want to live in a community or who depend on a sheltered workplace. The facility follows a concept that puts the self-efficacy and personal development of the residents at the forefront, thereby creating new perspectives for participants. Buchseegut functions not only as a residence but also as a place of shared creation, learning and leisure. Here, staff and users meet in a supportive environment and experience a life that combines refreshment, community and engagement.

The heart of the grounds is the nursery, which houses a retail shop as well as production greenhouses. In the nursery, the needs of residents and visitors come together. Here they can be advised on the selection of plants or enjoy the work of the nursery. The sale of flowers and plants is also an important part of the offering, with a variety of products made by the residents themselves. Buchseegut places great value on sustainable practices and on fostering joy in life through the care of nature.

For everyone who is creative, the KunstWerkstatt (art workshop) offers a platform to create and sell handcrafted products. Participants can try their hand in the areas of paper, wood and clay and thus develop their skills further. Together in the Park & Garden project, they also take care of the maintenance of outdoor areas and green spaces. Buchseegut thus offers a holistic way of living and working, tailored to the needs and abilities of each individual.
