Since its foundation in 1984, the Wiesbadener Jugendwerkstatt has provided socially disadvantaged young people and young adults with offers in the areas of vocational preparation, training, retraining and employment and provides additional support for graduates in the transition to work through forms of mentoring and business start-ups.

The Wiesbadener Jugendwerkstatt provides training in over 30 professions in the fields of administration and service, construction, electrical engineering, metal, gardening and agriculture, as well as in the company's own school. It also carries out employment and qualification measures on behalf of the municipal employment agency.

In 1987, the Wiesbadener Jugendwerkstatt leased the Mechtildshausen domain from the state of Hesse, where it offers its own restaurant, wine bar and cafés as well as catering for private events. By additionally renting the former Naturland farm Hofgut Gassenbach in Idstein, production in arable farming and pasture farming, cattle, goat and goose husbandry and fruit growing has been significantly expanded since 2001. All products are sold in our own farm stores.
