Skills and expertise of the organisation
What kind of services or support does a person need both today and in the future facing his or her workplace, security in society, age or even sickness? The Research Institute of the Red Cross broadly approaches and discriminatingly deals with relevant societal problems and – in cooperation with its partners – works on developing creative and innovative solutions. Our central concern and also integral part of all our activities is to guarantee the transfer of project results back into the practical context of health and social services. Theory and practical experience go hand in hand in order to assure the quality of our research. Our Institute is currently participating in national and international research projects and programmes.
The Research Institute of the Red Cross works in four research fields:
- Rescue, emergency care and security - Quick and competent medical care for emergency patients is one of the core competences of the Red Cross. Research studies aim at pointing out possibilities to increase the well- being of the patient during transportation with the help of new technologies (e.g. acupressure, oxygen, thermal cover) and how their state of health can better be monitored and improved. Outcome- studies (e.g. laymen defibrillation) make a relevant contribution to the further development of immediate life-saving measures.
- Health care and nursing - Demographic change leads to a range of alterations in the final stage of one’s life and to die in a dignified way with the respective care and attendance is one of our main focuses. Our Institute aims at analysing and developing solutions for these changes.
- Labour market, employment and volunteer services - Our research also focuses on unemployment and its consequences, reintegration and integration of people seeking employment, empowerment and age management. Due to demographic change, the age group of people over 60 years needs to find meaningful fields of activity in the context of „active ageing“.
- Health promotion and prevention - Due to expanding costs in the health sector new strategies will be required in the near future. Health promotion first of all aims at strengthening one’s health potential and secondly at reducing health-weakening factors, on an individual basis as well as in one’s personal living and working conditions. Our research activities centre around workplace health promotion and health promotion for older people.

Diakonisches Werk Berlin-Brandenburg-schlesische Oberlausitz e.V. - DWBO |
The Diakonisches Werk Berlin-Brandenburg-schlesische Oberlausitz (DWBO) is recognised as one of the leading social welfare associations NGO/NPO) and has its headquarters at Paulsenstr. 55 in the Berlin district of Steglitz. It is an independent regional association of the Diakonisches Werk of the Protestant Church of Germany (DWEKD), serving the federal states of Brandenburg and Berlin and the region schlesische Oberlausitz.
Diakonie is an expression of the life and character of the church. The constituent members of the Diakonisches Werk Berlin-Brandenburg-schlesische Oberlausitz (DWBO) are:
- Evangelische Kirche in Berlin-Brandenburg-schlesische Oberlausitz (EKBO) (Protestant Church)
- Bund Evangelisch-Freikirchlicher Gemeinden in Deutschland (Evangelical Free Churches)
- Evangelisch-methodistische Kirche (Methodist Church)
- Europäisch-Festländische Brüder-Unität (Herrnhuter Brüdergemeine) (European- Continental Church/Herrnhut Tradition)
- Heilsarmee in Deutschland (Salvation Army)
- Selbständige Ev.-Lutherische Kirche (Independant Lutheran Church)
The Diakonisches Werk Berlin-Brandenburg-schlesische Oberlausitz (DWBO) is subject to the statutes of the participating churches. Its task is to help our neighbour in physical, emotional and social need.
The DWBO is an umbrella association for 430 legally independent social welfare organisations and foundations (about 225 of them in Berlin) from the established Protestant church and the free churches, and it represents their interests within the League of the Leading Social Welfare Associations and in dealings with ministries, Senate departments, funding agencies, local communities, interest groups etc.
The DWBO takes managing responsibility for the development of Protestant aid organisation Bread for the world within the federal states of Berlin and Brandenburg and the region schlesische Oberlausitz. Annual donations in the region total approximately 2.5 million Euro. Aid is given to projects in Africa, Asia and Latin America on the principle of “helping people to help themselves”.
The origins of the Diakonisches Werk go back to the “Central Committee for Inner Mission in the German Protestant Church” founded in 1848 by the Protestant theologian, Johann Hinrich Wichern. In the same year, the “Protestant Association for Church Purposes” was founded in Berlin, and in 1920 it was merged with the “Berlin Central Association for Inner Mission”. This association then became the “Central Association of the Berlin Inner Mission” in 1935. In 1945 the “Aid Association of the Protestant Church in Germany” was also founded as a post-war aid organisation. Although the partition of Berlin and the construction of the Berlin Wall made cooperation between the offices in east and west far more difficult, the two organisations initially retained their respective legal form.
It was only in 1964 that the aid association and Inner Mission in West Berlin merged to form the Social Welfare Association (“Diakonisches Werk”, western region of the Protestant church in Berlin-Brandenburg). In East Berlin the two organisations merged in 1969 under the name “Inner Mission and Aid Association of the Protestant Church in Berlin-Brandenburg” (eastern region of the Protestant church in Berlin-Brandenburg) with its headquarters at Schönhauser Allee 141 in the district of Prenzlauer Berg.
In the course of German reunification, the western and eastern associations merged on 20.11.1990 to form the Diakonisches Werk Berlin-Brandenburg registered society.
In 2005 Diakonisches Werk Berlin-Brandenburg and Diakonisches Werk der schlesischen Oberlausitz merged to establish the new Diakonisches Werk Berlin-Brandenburg-schlesische Oberlausitz (DWBO).
The headquarters (extension, new building, renovation of the substance of the old building), the House of Diakonie at Paulsenstr. 55/56 in Berlin-Steglitz was dedicated in 1993.
52.000 employed staff - 1.270 establishments:
For its social and charitable tasks the Diakonie maintains more than 1.270 stationary, semi-open and open establishments with about 52.000 staff members (19.500 of them in the federal state of Brandenburg) and numerous volunteers. These establishments include for example old people’s homes and residences, training establishments, establishments for the handicapped, educational assistance establishments, homes, convalescence homes and guest houses, day nurseries (kindergarten), hospitals and clinics, advice centres incl. health care centres, day care centres and regional Diakonisches Werk-associations.
