The Commission has been actively engaged in the design of the plan spanning the years 2000 to 2006.
The Bavarian State Ministry of Health, Care, and Prevention, in collaboration with the Regensburg District Administration and Catholic Adult Education, is organising the 6th Bavarian Dementia Week from September 19 to 28, 2025. This week-long event aims to foster understanding, break down barriers, and encourage open discussions about dementia.
The events will take place at the Regensburg District Administration, Altmühlstraße 3, 93059 Regensburg, in the Large Conference Room, Room 4.035. All interested parties are cordially invited to attend or seek information about the events.
On September 23, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, there will be a lecture titled "Staying Mentally Fit - Preventing Dementia with 10 Measures", delivered by Gerlinde Weigert.
The following day, on September 24, 2025, from 2:00 PM to 4:30 PM, a workshop titled "Memory Box - Our Treasure Chest" will be held, designed for dementia-affected persons and their relatives.
On September 26, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, Anton Stiglmaier, Specialist Nurse in the Emergency Department at the University Hospital Regensburg, will deliver a lecture on "Dementia in the Hospital". The organiser of this lecture is yet to be announced.
Early support for people with dementia and their families is emphasised by District Administrator Tanja Schweiger. Such support can improve participation opportunities, prevent isolation, and relieve families. It is also crucial in a society where the number of people with dementia is increasing as it ages.
According to recent statistics, approximately 270,000 people in Bavaria are currently affected by a dementia-related illness. In the over-90 age group, more than one in three people show symptoms of dementia today.
For questions or registration for the respective event, contact Frau García Jociles at telephone 0941/4009-531 or at [email protected].
Dementia presents a significant challenge and burden for those affected and their relatives. The Bavarian Dementia Week aims to provide a platform for support, education, and dialogue about this important issue.
