| Summary: | This article examines the questions of why the "Bahnhofsmission" is suitable as a seismograph of social change, how it performs this function, what it can achieve and where its limits lie. This is done with the help of self-reflection of the practice of the "Bahnhofsmission" and by unfolding practical examples. The seismograph function is described as a task of the "Bahnhofsmission" that goes beyond the core of individual case assistance and is of benefit to society as a whole. This involves drawing attention to changes at an early stage in order to identify structures of poverty and injustice as causes of need for help as well as of exclusion and to contribute to the elimination of those structures. Due to their location at the station and their open, low-threshold concept, "Bahnhofsmissionen" have an excellent seismographic potential. Where they succeed in raising this potential, they can become incubators for innovation. |
