Diakonie Stetten

The Diakonie Stetten, formerly known as the Stetten Institution, is an institution of the Diakonie of the Protestant Churches located in the town of Stetten in the Remstal, part of the municipality of Kernen in the Remstal in the Rems-Murr district near Stuttgart.
The Diakonie Stetten originated from a care and nursing facility for intellectually disabled children, founded in 1849 by the Tübingen doctor Georg Friedrich Müller with three disabled children in Riet near Vaihingen/Enz. In 1851, due to space constraints, the facility moved to Winterbach. When space became too limited there as well due to the increasing number of residents, Müller's son-in-law Johannes Landenberger facilitated the purchase of the vacant Stetten Castle from the Württemberg royal house in 1863. In 1864, the care and nursing facility for Epileptics and the Intellectually Disabled opened in Stetten Castle.
