Oberberg Hospice Weeks 2026 The Oberberg Hospice Weeks will be organized by the Hospice and Palliative Care Network of the Oberberg District on the occasion of World Hospice Day (October 10, 2026).

Oberbergischer Kreis. The Oberberg Hospice Weeks consist of a diverse program. At a total of 18 events across the district, people can learn about hospice and palliative care services, experience art and culture, meet people, and engage in mutual exchange. All events are free of charge.

The motto of this year's World Hospice Day is: „As colorful as life. Hospice.“ With this, the German Hospice and Palliative Care Association aims to highlight „that hospice work is colorful – in the stories of the people being accompanied and in the personalities of those who accompany them, both voluntarily and professionally.“

With the action weeks, the hospice and palliative care network of the Oberberg district aims to draw attention to the diverse care and support services available to seriously ill, dying, and grieving people and encourage conversations about the taboo topics of dying, death, and grief.

The Oberberg Hospice Weeks span 3 weeks, beginning with the opening event on September 28, 2026, and concluding with the closing event on September 16, 2026. Information about the various events can be found at www.obk.de/hospizwochen.
