Intergenerational houses are places where young and old people meet and support each other. The generation houses and centers in Stuttgart differ in their concepts.
They form a community in which all generations are involved in the development of ideas and projects and the accomplishment of tasks. Professionals work together with civically committed people on an equal footing. Partnerships with other facilities and institutions are important factors for the work of the generation houses. Foundations and companies promote the idea of intergenerational cohesion through their commitment.
The following offers are available in Stuttgart:
- The Generation House West (opens in a new tab) of the Rudolf Schmid and Hermann Schmid Foundation houses a day care center for children, apartments for the elderly and the parent-child center under one roof.
- Five fixed pillars currently form the basic framework for the concept of the Heslach Generation House of the Rudolf Schmid and Hermann Schmid Foundation.
