Hertha Commune is a social community situated on the outskirts of Herskind, 20 km west of Aarhus. The foundation of the Commune is ordinary people opting to live in a close and rewarding neighbourly relationship with mentally disabled adults. We call this inverted integration. The inspiration for the Commune originates from Rudolf Steiner’s pedagogic and social impulses, and social readiness, sustainability and freedom of the individual are very important to us.

Approx. 120 people live in the Commune today and many come here every day to work, visit or take part in events. The Commune has existed since 1996 and throughout all the years formed the framework for the pedagogic work in Hertha Shared Households and Workshops.
