Experienced Inclusion: Empowering People for Life
Two politicians recently visited Rhein-Mosel-Werkstatt in Koblenz to see its work firsthand. Josef Oster, the city’s federal lawmaker from the CDU, and state parliament candidate Philip Rünz spent time at the facility. Their tour included a stop in the laundry department, where they met employees and learned about daily operations.
Rhein-Mosel-Werkstatt is a nonprofit social enterprise that supports around 900 people with disabilities across its sites. The organisation helps individuals find stable jobs and build fulfilling careers. Fabian Röhrig, the head of the workshop, oversees its mission of inclusion and professional development.
During the visit, Oster and Rünz spoke with staff and observed the workplace environment. Rünz later praised the facility’s open and respectful atmosphere, calling it essential for self-determination, dignity, and career opportunities. Oster added that the organisation proves what happens when inclusion is taken seriously, allowing people to thrive by recognising their strengths. Before leaving, both politicians thanked the team for their dedication and the insights shared during the tour.
The visit highlighted Rhein-Mosel-Werkstatt’s role in supporting disabled individuals through meaningful employment. Oster and Rünz’s remarks underscored the impact of the organisation’s approach to inclusion and professional growth. The facility continues to serve around 900 people across its locations.
