Facts and practical information

Maria im Tann is the center for child, youth and family assistance and youth vocational assistance of the city of Aachen on the outskirts of the Preuswald district. It has its origins in the lung sanatorium for adults that has existed since 1909 and its expansion to include a children's home in 1916. Since 1995, it has been managed by the "Katholischer Erziehungsverein für die Rheinprovinz" and its affiliated "Betriebsführungsgesellschaft mbH". The center described above is a member of the "Arbeitsgemeinschaft katholischer Einrichtungen und Dienste der Erziehungshilfen in der Diözese Aachen" of the Aachen branch of the German Caritas Association and is currently home to around 220 children and young people. It employs around 110 staff.

The overall complex also includes the Chapel of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, which was profaned in 1976 after the new Maria im Tann community center was established in the district itself, which is affiliated with the Catholic parish of St. Jakob in Aachen.
