Inside

An evening about life, letting go and the big questions at the end of the road

This citizens' forum in Freiburg brings to the forefront a subject that affects many people yet is often avoided: one's own end of life. On Wednesday, September 23, 2026, the event at the Historical Warehouse invites impulses, discussions, and a podium that combines personal perspectives with professional expertise.

When silent questions suddenly have space

The event addresses precisely where uncertainty, reflection, and hope converge. How do I envision my final phase of life? What is important to me? And who makes decisions if I can no longer do so myself? The format creates a protected space for exchange, orientation, and a conversation atmosphere with depth.

Professional voices, human closeness

Contributors from palliative care, hospital pastoral care, municipal responsibility, and hospice work shape the program. This mix creates an event experience that is not dry in information but provides orientation in a sensitive phase of life. The audience experiences not an abstract debate but a carefully moderated citizens' forum with social relevance.

Historical Warehouse as a dignified setting

The Historical Warehouse at Münsterplatz imparts a special atmosphere to the evening. The central location in Freiburg's old town, the barrier-free accessibility, and the protected indoor atmosphere make the place suitable for an event that demands contemplation and openness. Afterwards, discussions over drinks and a small snack are announced, deliberately extending the exchange into the personal level.

Why this evening is important

At a time when questions surrounding dying, precaution, and accompaniment receive increasing attention, this citizens' forum sends a strong signal for enlightenment and compassion. The event connects event management with social responsibility and simultaneously offers clear added value for people who want to inform themselves, exchange ideas, or simply understand better how palliative work and hospice culture interact in Freiburg.

Conclusion: Those interested in a sensitive, thoughtfully curated conversation format will find here an evening with substance, closeness, and public significance. The citizens' forum invites you to discuss the major questions of life together instead of carrying them alone.
