Stiftung Hamburger Hospiz

The Stiftung Hamburger Hospiz was established in 2022 by the Authority for Justice and Consumer Protection in Hamburg and aims to promote inpatient and outpatient hospice and palliative care within the Hamburg metropolitan area. As a charitable foundation, it supports the operation and expansion of the two inpatient hospices at Helenenstift (Altona) and am Deich (Bergedorf), bereavement support for relatives, as well as creative and medical services for seriously ill and dying individuals. The foundation is largely financed through donations and is actively engaged in public relations, benefit concerts, art auctions, and other fundraising activities.

The Stiftung Hamburger Hospiz is committed to accompanying people with dignity in their final phase of life and to sensitively supporting their relatives in grief. Through the promotion of inpatient hospice facilities, outpatient counseling services, and bereavement programs, as well as through public relations and fundraising, we aim to foster a societal shift towards an open and dignified approach to dying, death, and mourning.

The funding programs of the Stiftung Hamburger Hospiz are aimed at seriously ill and dying people in Hamburg as well as their relatives and close associates. Additionally, bereaved individuals are addressed who wish to make use of psychosocial support, facilitated grief groups, and creative day seminars. As a non-profit foundation, we provide all services free of charge or funded by donations to ensure social participation regardless of financial means.
