The Tanja Residential Home offers space for 12 people with severe disabilities, 365 days a year.
The purpose of the Tanja Foundation is to support, promote, and integrate socially disadvantaged people, especially individuals with multiple disabilities requiring extensive care.
Founding idea and initiative
The initiative to build a residential home for people with physical and mental limitations and to establish a foundation for this purpose was launched by Sieny and Renato Berchtold around the turn of the millennium.
Location, competition, and opening
After an intensive search for a suitable location and countless discussions with authorities, a public competition was launched for the construction project. In August 2007, the building constructed in the Ebnet district of Bitsch was officially inaugurated.
