Deutsches Katholisches Blindenwerk eV - DKBW

About us

The DKBW (Deutsches Katholisches Blindenwerk / German Catholic Association of the Blind) is recognized by the Bishops’ Conference of Germany as an organization for the blind. This organization is a central association with branch members in various regions throughout the Federal Republic of Germany. These regional members are all independent associations federated into the DKBW. As the central association, the DKBW sees ist function in undertaking such actions which could not be successfully accomplished by the regional associations. Therefore, the DKBW, which receives funds exclusively through collections made among the Catholics of Germany, created central institutions to serve the blind of Germany and of course, the German-speaking blind in foreign countries as well as the blind throughout the world.
