The exhibition shows photographs by young people that deal thematically with the grief of young people over the loss of loved ones. In his welcoming speech, District Administrator Dietmar Allgaier, who is also patron of the ecumenical hospice initiative, praised the young people's creative approach to coping with grief.
It was a special event in many respects, and not just for the district administrator. On the one hand, because the exhibition deals with the artists' own experiences of coming to terms with moving and sad moments. On the other hand, the exhibition opening was also a premiere - it was the first to take place in the premises of the branch office in Vaihingen an der Enz.
Particularly impressive were the words of some of the young people themselves, who were on site and took the opportunity to tell the guests first-hand about their experiences, on the one hand about the photo workshop in which the pictures were taken, but above all about their works themselves. Young people aged between 13 and 18 took part in the photo workshop, which was organized by the Outpatient Children's and Youth Hospice Service in the Ludwigsburg district.
Lothar Rücker, 1st Chairman of the Ecumenical Hospice Initiative in the district of Ludwigsburg, thanked everyone involved in the photo workshop and the exhibition for their commitment and emphasized the personal contributions of the young people as well as the hospitality of the district administrator and his staff.
The exhibition will be on display until January 5, 2023 at the Vaihingen branch of the Ludwigsburg District Office (Franckstraße 20, 71665 Vaihingen an der Enz) and can be visited there during normal opening hours (Monday to Friday 8.30 am to 12.00 noon, Monday 1.30 pm to 3.30 pm, Thursday 1.30 pm to 6.00 pm).
