Invitation to «Music for the Soul» on Good Friday (in German)

It is the privilege of pastoral care to have the time, within the hospital setting, to address the issues and concerns of patients.
Illness and hospital stays are often turning points that provide an opportunity to pause and reflect. Many things lose their significance, whilst new things suddenly become important.
As pastoral carers, we are here for you and your relatives. We are there to listen to you, support you with your questions and try to respond to your needs for spiritual or religious support. Naturally, we respect your personal beliefs and values and are bound by confidentiality. As a Protestant Reformed minister and a Roman Catholic chaplain, we are employed by our respective churches. If you wish to receive pastoral care from a representative of another religion or community, we will be happy to put you in touch.
Our offer at a glance
Visits to patients
We accompany people from an open, Christian basic attitude across denominations and religions and respect their religious convictions. We regularly visit patients of different denominations and religions, as well as people who do not belong to any religious community. We do not have a missionary mandate and do not impose our conversation on anyone.
Church services
On Sick Sunday, Easter, Day of Prayer and Christmas, we celebrate services at Klinik Im Park and, depending on the denomination, support people with religious expressions such as prayer, liturgical signs and sacraments.
Accompanying the relatives
We are also the contact persons for the patients' relatives and accompany them where this makes sense and is desired.
Blessing ceremony for newborns
For the blessing of your newborn we offer a small celebration. The new addition to the family is blessed with gratitude and a look to the future. The celebration can take place according to individual wishes in the room or in a common room of the clinic.
