The residential group is spread over several floors and has a play area, a lounge in the basement and a small chill-out oasis in the garden shed, providing additional space for joint activities. There is also space and materials in the group's own workshop to do handicrafts and create new things. The large garden invites you to linger and includes a playground with swings and a sandpit for younger children, a trampoline and a ping-pong table for all age groups. Behind the house there is also a football pitch and a basketball hoop for sports activities and a small pool for cooling off on warm days. In our own garden there are also various fruits to pick yourself, such as grapes, quinces and apples.

It is important to us to treat the children and young people with respect and openness. The cooperation is transparent and at eye level, so that a family atmosphere can be found in the residential group. We attach great importance to a high level of cooperation with the children/adolescents and their families of origin in order to ensure the ideal development of the children/adolescents. The children and adolescents have a say and should actively participate in shaping life in the residential group. We work actively with the children to further develop their self, social and practical life skills with the goal of them becoming critical and independent adults.

The Hirzbrunnen residential group is an independent group, but also offers inter-group camps where contacts can be made with children from the other residential groups.
