Hospice week in Prenzlau: A place of dignity is created for the dying!

From June 21 to June 28, 2025, the Hospizverein Uckermark made an important contribution to the awareness of topics related to dying. During the hospice week, numerous events took place that put the aspects of care, closeness and dignity in the foreground. A new hospice on Karl-Marx-Straße will also be built in Prenzlau, which should be on hand on their last life on their last life from next year. Markus Kolbe, a speaker for hospice and palliative work, emphasized in his explanations that a hospice is not a place of giving up, but of acceptance. So he made it clear: "Hospices are places that are no longer about 'how long is it?' href = "http://www.nnn.de/regional/uckermark/hospizwochein-uckermark-2025-neues-hospiz-waechst-naehe-lebet-3686057"> nnn.de

The construction work of the new hospice is scheduled for schedule and many orders are awarded to regional companies, which benefits the local economy. Annika Hartwich, a native of Prenzlauer and head of a care facility in Berlin, will take over the management of the new house. Hartwich has the clear goal of creating a place where people can go with dignity and peace.

employee and support wanted

The new hospice urgently needs support. We are looking for nurses, housekeeping, caretaker and volunteers who are willing to work in this sensitive area. In addition, a nursing management and social service are necessary to create a living house in which humans support and feel. "After the hospice week, many new thoughts remain and the impression that an important project is created in Prenzlau," the mood is shared by the organizers.

In order to further promote the hospice work, the German Hospice and Palliative Association (DHPV) offers a variety of free brochures and handouts that deal with various aspects of palliative care. Some of these documents are available for a protective fee, as can be found on dhpv.de . These help both relatives and specialists to better deal with the challenges in hospice supply and offer valuable support for mourning support or special issues such as health planning in the last phase of life.

self -determination in palliative care

special emphasis in its offers for medical care, for dying and the farewell rituals, as shown on awo.org . People should have the opportunity to fully live out their personal freedom rights. The timely determination of your own wishes through precautionary documents plays a central role. The AWO district association Niederrhein e.V. offers support with its pension folder "What is really important", which offers people in inpatient institutions practical help for health care planning.

whether care, voluntary work or the necessary legal protection - it becomes clear that a lot is done in the Uckermark at both regional and national level in order to improve the palliative care and not to leave those affected alone during these difficult hours. Healthy and appropriate support is not only a challenge, but also a matter close to the heart for many committed people.
