Hardy Sauer was content manager and trainer at Karlshöhe Ludwigburg until 2013. He then
was responsible for fundraising and grant management at the Karlshöhe Ludwigburg Foundation
until 2022.
The district has been financially supporting the Ecumenical Hospice Initiative since 2017: initially, the
specialist center for child and youth grief was funded with a half-time position, and since 2020 with a full-time position by resolution of the
district council. The services offered by the outpatient children and youth hospice service
include the riding group, the children's bereavement club and the parents' bereavement café, the youth bereavement group, the
family bereavement afternoon, evenings for young adults and photography workshops. The photos from the
workshop were exhibited last year under the title "Encounters" at the Vaihingen district office
. The services offered by the outpatient children's and youth hospice service
are free of charge and independent of religious denomination.
