Kärcher donates sweeper: Clean future for Mönchengladbach's bike station!

On June 5, 2025, Alfred Kärcher SE & Co. KG donated a new model S 6 Twin sweeper to the Diakonie bike station in Mönchengladbach. This bike station is located at the main train station and not only offers safe parking for bicycles, but also important employment opportunities for people with disabilities and the long-term unemployed.

The newly purchased sweeper will help clean the areas around the building efficiently and in an environmentally friendly manner. The S 6 Twin model is characterized by high area performance and easy handling, which makes the team's daily tasks much easier. Johannes Kuhn, manager and inclusion officer at Diakonie Mönchengladbach, was grateful for the generous support from Kärcher, which makes a significant contribution to the work of the bike station.

Important initiative for the region

In addition to parking spaces, the Diakonie Mönchengladbach bike station also offers a range of bike-related services. In collaboration with the Mönchengladbach job center, unemployed women and men are supported in qualified, temporary jobs in the bike stations. These measures are designed to help employees distinguish themselves for the primary labor market and increase their chances of finding a job.

It is also possible to complete training as a two-wheel mechatronics technician specializing in bicycles at the bike station. This is an important step in providing participants with valuable skills and qualifications that are in high demand in today's world of work.

Alfred Kärcher SE is a global leader in cleaning technology and employs more than 17,000 people in 85 countries. The donation of the sweeper underlines the company's commitment to supporting social projects and helping to improve the quality of life in communities. “The support from Kärcher is of great importance for our work,” says Johannes Kuhn, emphasizing the positive effects of the sweeper on the daily work of the bike station.

Overall, this initiative shows the importance of taking social responsibility while providing modern solutions to improve infrastructure. The Diakonie Mönchengladbach bike station is a successful example of how both social and environmentally friendly goals can be achieved through collaboration and a willingness to innovate.
