Living Culture in Old Age: Talking Together About Good Living

How do people want to live, be and feel in their homes as they age? The impulse lecture followed by a discussion invites an open exchange at the House of the Church in Bielefeld on Tuesday, October 6, 2026. The focus is on personal living concepts, changes throughout life, and the question of how living spaces support well-being, independence, and social participation.

Impulses for Autonomous Living

Living in old age means much more than the appropriate size of an apartment. Familiar spaces, personal memories, and one's own privacy shape the feeling of safety and quality of life. At the same time, needs can change: accessibility, good reachability, less care effort, and a suitable living environment gain importance.

Discussion about Quality of Life and Community

The conversational nature opens space for personal experiences and different perspectives. Topics such as age-appropriate living, new living forms, the transition to another living situation, and living in a familiar neighborhood connect personal questions with societal developments. The exchange strengthens social contacts and makes visible how diverse living wishes are in old age.

Professional Background

The event ties into gerontological and social scientific questions about aging, living biographies, and spatial sociology. Nicole Zielke scientifically deals with the transition to nursing homes, living forms in old age, privacy, and inclusion. Thus, the offering is aimed at older people, relatives, professionals, and all interested parties who want to engage with good living culture in old age.

A Quiet Afternoon for New Thoughts

The event in the late afternoon offers the opportunity to listen in a relaxed atmosphere, bring in one's own questions, and engage in conversation with others. The House of the Church is centrally located in Bielefeld at Markgrafenstraße 7. This way, the lecture evening connects information, encounters, and personal engagement with an important future topic.

Conclusion

Visitors can expect an inspiring impulse followed by a discussion about self-determination, safety, and quality of life in their own homes. Experience the evening live and contribute your own experiences and questions to the community.
