Multigenerational house

An open meeting place for young and old

Multigenerational houses (“Mehrgenerationenhäuser”) offer an open meeting place for young and old – a chance to talk and to share experiences across the generations, in the spirit of “young helps old and vice versa”. But it is not only about sharing experience: casual conversations and first contacts happen here, too.

Our activities open up many possibilities

  • Care and support services
  • Learning and creative activities for children and young people
  • Further training for (re-)entering working life
  • Support for people in need of care and their relatives
  • Language courses for migrants
