Encounters at the cemetery
Cemeteries are also places of togetherness: after the pandemic-related break, there will be meetings and events at Offenbach's resting places again in 2023.
The Ecumenical Hospice Movement has been offering a bereavement café again since the beginning of the year: Every 3rd Sunday of the month from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. at the Treffpunkt Friedhof e.V. premises. Trained grief counselors help people to talk in a quiet atmosphere in the café at the New Cemetery.
The hospice movement is organizing a joint walk on Saturday, 14 October: the group will visit several graves and burial plots at the New Cemetery, with details to be decided on the spot. The meeting point is at 3.30 p.m. at the main entrance, Mühlheimer Straße 425. After the approximately one-hour tour, the group will end the day together at Treffpunkt Friedhof e. V..
Registrations are welcome at the office of the hospice movement, telephone 069 / 800 87 998.
Events are also planned at the Old Cemetery: The emergency pastoral care team will report on its activities on Thursday, June 29, from 7 p.m. in the mourning hall. A cemetery whisper is scheduled for Sunday, September 17 at 3 p.m. with a tour on the subject of apparent death entitled "Of rescue bells, mortuaries and tongue pullers". Anja Kretschmer, an art historian with a keen interest in the morbid, will play the role of poet Friederike Kempner and talk about her fear of being buried alive.
