Topping-out ceremony in Prenzlau: New hospice offers worthy support for the sick
On September 15, 2025, the Teltow Diakonissenhaus will celebrate an important event: the topping-out ceremony for the Prenzlau Evangelical Hospice. After just four months of construction, which began with the laying of the foundation stone in May, the shell is already in place. This new hospice will be an important contact point for seriously ill and dying people in the Uckermark region, and the anticipation of its opening in the fourth quarter of 2026 is palpable. Nordkurier reports about the support of the project by the city of Prenzlau, the Uckermark district and the Uckermärkischer Hospice Association, which make a significant contribution to the success of the hospice.
The hospice will offer a total of twelve places designed to provide residents with an atmosphere of peace, security and safety. This is done through professional care, medical care and sensitive support, which the Diakonissenhaus Teltow can guarantee with years of experience in hospice work. Already operating successfully in other cities, such as Potsdam and Luckau, the new hospice will offer a valuable addition to supporting people in the final phase of their lives Deaconess house highlights.
A sustainable approach
The building itself is also a testament to modern architecture: designed by Berlin-based Feddersen Architects, the hospice comprises three individual houses with asymmetrical gable roofs, which are connected by two lower, low-rise buildings. In addition, the building is supplied by district heating from the city of Prenzlau and is equipped with a photovoltaic system including battery storage. Thanks to mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, the additional electricity requirement is covered by green electricity, which represents an important step towards sustainability in times of climate change.
The diaconal work behind the hospice goes far beyond the actual care. Modern hospice work offers not only physical, but also emotional and spiritual support. The support of relatives plays a crucial role in making it possible to die with dignity, as is the case comprehensively Diaconia is explained.
Shared responsibility
The Diakonissenhaus Teltow, as the client, brings over 3,000 employees into the hospice work and ensures that the services are adapted to the individual needs of the patients. There is also the opportunity to support the construction work and operations through donations. Information materials and donation receipts can be requested on the website.
The Evangelical Hospice Prenzlau not only represents a structural investment, but is a sign of social cohesion and responsibility towards the weakest members of our community. It will provide space for those being supported in the final stages of their lives, while also creating a valuable resource for their loved ones.
