The European Commission releases documentation detailing the effect of aging on the overall health of the citizenry.

On Saturday, October 11, 2025, the Giessen Senior Fair will take place, offering a barrier-free and engaging experience for seniors, their relatives, and interested professionals from the region. The event, which will be held in the large and small halls, will serve as the heart of the day.

Organised by the Round Table - Aging in Giessen, the fair aims to provide a platform for the exchange and networking of various actors in Giessen who offer services for and with older people. The theme of the fair is "Growing Older Together - Informed, Engaged, and Active."

Independence and mobility are at the center of the offers, with services like the Repair Café, Rollator Parkour, and rickshaw rides available. Various local providers will present their services on topics such as health, leisure, care, daily living assistance, safety, foresight, and funerals. A sign language interpreter can be requested for individual accompaniment in the exhibition.

Professional service providers will inform about their consulting offers and can provide helpful tips directly on-site. The Round Table - Aging in Giessen looks forward to a colorful exhibition, interesting conversations, and new contacts.

It is important to note that, according to publicly accessible sources up to 2023, there is no officially recognised and widely known "Round Table - Elderly Care in Giessen" operating under this specific name. However, there are various initiatives, networks, and working groups in Giessen that focus on issues related to elderly care, senior policy, and elderly assistance. These groups fulfil functions similar to those of a "Round Table."

The Round Table - Aging in Giessen is a platform for the exchange and networking of various actors in Giessen who provide offers for and with older people. It aims to develop a new culture of aging and contribute to a differentiated representation and perception of this stage of life.

For more information about the fair or the Round Table - Aging in Giessen, please contact the Senior Officer of the City of Giessen or the Senior Committee.
