Gemeinschaftshospiz Christophorus is a charitable hospice in Berlin that provides compassionate, person-centred care for people approaching the end of life. Its guiding principle, “seeing the whole person,” is reflected in an interdisciplinary approach that responds to the individual needs of patients and those close to them. The hospice supports people with advanced, incurable illnesses when care at home is no longer sufficient and hospital treatment is not required.

Its services include palliative medical care, nursing and therapies, alongside social work and support for family members and other loved ones. The organisation also offers grief support, opportunities to volunteer and a friends’ association. For the wider community, it runs quarterly “Last Aid” courses, sharing basic palliative-care knowledge, practical guidance and information about local support networks.

Stays are generally funded through health and long-term care insurance, with donations covering a portion of hospice costs; guests are not charged for their stay. Gemeinschaftshospiz Christophorus welcomes donations and invites applications from people interested in joining its multidisciplinary team
