Versorgungsheim Farmsen

Description:

We are students at Tegelweg School. Near our school, at August-Krogmann-Straße 100, there used to be the Farmsen care home. People with disabilities, homeless people, and alcoholics, for example, lived here. They were admitted to the care home against their will. They were all assigned a guardian. The guardian decided what would happen to these people. The people there had to work very hard, and if they didn't, they were punished. Some even died there. Today, stumbling blocks commemorate them.

We wanted to learn more about the place and the people, so we interviewed Stefan Romey, historian and special education teacher, and Susanne Schwendtke from Fördern und Wohnen.
