The hospice
Find out more about our hospice and what we do through moving images.
According to estimates, there are up to 50,000 children and young people living in Germany suffering from illnesses or disabilities that will shorten their lives to such an extent that they will die while still children or young people. To provide these children and young people and their families with the most support possible during their difficult time, the Sternenbrücke children’s hospice opened in May 2003 as a pilot project for Northern Germany.
