Leben und Tod Bremen

The fair "Leben und Tod", which means life and death in German, is an important event that combines a specialist congress and a trade fair, covering topics related to life, death, grief, and provision. It is held annually at the Bremen Exhibition Center, a modern exhibition and event center located in the heart of the Hanseatic city of Bremen. The center is known for its central location and good transport links, providing a pleasant environment for exhibitors and visitors. It takes place annually and includes sectors such as funeral services, hospice and palliative care, bereavement care, and prevention.

The fair focuses on providing information and exchanging ideas on dying, death, and grief, as well as discussing the value of one's life. The highlights include lectures, workshops, and panel discussions with experts from various fields. The “Leben und Tod” fair is one of the largest events of its kind in Germany, attracting thousands of trade visitors and interested laypeople every year. It is becoming increasingly important in the context of an aging society. With demographic changes and increasing life expectancy, issues such as shaping the end of life, caring for and supporting older people, and planning for pensions and estates are becoming more prominent. The fair addresses and discusses these aspects by offering a platform for exchange between professionals in geriatric care, hospice and palliative care, funeral services, bereavement care, and prevention. In addition, the fair provides information about various options for old-age provision, living wills, and legal aspects of estate planning. It thus contributes to raising awareness of the challenges and opportunities of an aging society, and highlighting possible solutions and support offers for a self-determined and dignified life in old age.

The Leben und Tod will take place on 2 days from Friday, 16. May to Saturday, 17. May 2025 in Bremen.
