Diakonissen-Mutterhaus Bleibergquelle

The Diakonissen-Mutterhaus Bleibergquelle is a large residential and educational campus in Velbert that combines schools, training facilities, a care home, and support services in one location. The buildings are set among green grounds with open spaces, creating an environment where work and community life happen side by side.

After World War II, allied military authorities granted the grounds to a deaconess community, leading to the establishment of a motherhouse on the site. The facility grew over decades into a multipurpose center serving education, healthcare, and social services.

The place reflects Christian values through its work with vulnerable people and in training programs that emphasize care and compassion. Walking through the grounds, you see how faith shapes the daily activities and relationships between staff and those who come here.

The grounds are accessible to visitors on foot, though some buildings are more open to the public than others depending on their current use. It helps to plan your visit around daytime hours when educational and community activities are happening.

The Quellenhof section operates a specialized program combining physical therapy, social support, and mental health services for people of all ages. This integrated approach to healing and support is often overlooked by those passing through the grounds.
