Mutterhaus stands in Göggingen, Augsburg, as the central house of the Congregation of the Sisters of Mercy of Saint Vincent de Paul. The complex combines architecture and community life. Its buildings include the main house, the Mutterhauskirche chapel, residential areas and a care home for older sisters. The chapel anchors prayer and worship. Residential spaces support independent and assisted living, while the care home provides private bathrooms, shared lounges, station kitchens and a protected area for sisters with advanced dementia.

The congregation follows a tradition of prayer, care and service that reaches back to the nineteenth century. Its work has long served the sick, elderly and children. Daily life includes prayer, Bible reading and singing, alongside practical support and communal living. The former building had become too large and structurally unsuitable for renovation. This replacement brings modern facilities together with a visible spiritual centre, where the sisters’ white caps and silver crosses recall their distinctive heritage.
