Anniversary in Gauting: A year ago, the Condrobs association opened a meeting place in the rooms of the former Puerto residential group for refugees.

- the abstract painting has a magnetic effect with a rust-red skyline behind a water-blue river.
The large-format picture hangs in the comfortably furnished meeting room of social worker Sabine Krüger in the Gautinger contact and meeting place of the Condrobs association on Leutstettener Straße.
“I painted this for our living room,” says a 54-year-old client.
The facility founded a year ago for people who are alcohol or multiply dependent has not only become “a second home” for this pain patient.
“I am absolutely thrilled and can fully develop here,” enthuses the client.
Social pedagogue Sabine Krüger, who heads the Condrobs contact point in Gauting, has a "huge range of creative things" - the palette ranges from a literary café to table tennis, yoga, table football, playing darts or cooking together to listening to music.
And over dinner, “we sit together and chat a little,” the 54-year-old says gratefully.
"If you feel like it, you just lie down on the sofa for half an hour."
You feel like you are in a shared apartment.
“If you feel like it, you just lie down on the sofa for half an hour.” And Sabine Krüger or her colleagues check whether you are okay.
“Nobody sits around here bored,” the client says happily.
That's why she even drives “when I'm in insane pain” from her home in Berg to Gauting.
The facility for alcohol-endangered, alcoholic and multiply dependent adults was founded by the Condrobs association a year ago: In the rooms of the former Puerto residential group there is a large lounge, a kitchen with dining room, creative rooms and the cozy living room to withdraw from - "Also for a confidential conversation", says Sabine Krüger.
During the lockdown: No closing times and strict hygiene concept
"Corona was difficult for our clients." During the lockdown, alcohol-dependent people would have experienced severe crises and relapses or had to wait too long for a stationary detoxification station and long-term therapy.
Also in the Condrobs meeting point there were at least two to three clients with severe relapses.
There were no closing times.
There is a strict hygiene concept in the house.
The number of people per room is limited.
Some were still afraid of being infected.
“Before Corona, ten to 15 people came per day.
Now it's only seven to eight, ”says Sabine Krüger.
There are a total of six employees in the house, including three social pedagogues and a prospective recovery companion who was previously dependent himself.
The supervisor even picks up a client with a leg amputation from home in Freising.
The offers in the house are voluntary.
"It's great: since I've come here, I've rebuilt a daily structure," reports the 54-year-old client.
There was always something going on at the meeting point, there was even a small concert.
That was a year ago.
The pain patient was able to show her pictures on this occasion.
