A look at the story

The Güstrower Werkstätten gGmbH was founded on January 1, 1993. They were created by the merger of several rehabilitation workshops that previously worked separately. To date, the company has expanded to 24 locations and employs around 270 employees who take care of the concerns of the 900 cared for people. A day care center in Teterow was opened in 2009, and in 2017 the laundries from Güstrow and Teterow.

In the region there are also interesting educational offers for everyone interested. The Diakonische Bildungszentrum offers further and further training opportunities, including training as a state-recognized educator and state-certified social assistant. These educational offers could be important for many employees and their further development in the Güstrower workshops.

All in all, the district of Rostock is faced with an exciting development that will have a lasting impact on both the social landscape and the educational offers in the region.
