Sustainability Goals and Initiatives

The Sternenbrücke pursues sustainable goals by stabilizing the family system and raising society's awareness of topics such as death, grief and loss. Financing is mainly through donations, which are collected by both the foundation and the support association. Voluntary commitment and financial support are essential for the continuation of the work.

The Sternenbrücke is an important point of contact for families from Hamburg and the surrounding area who need support in difficult phases of life. Through its transparent public relations work and dialogue with the general public, the hospice helps to promote the discourse on sensitive topics.
