14th German Senior Citizens' Day 2025
The 14th German Senior Citizens' Day 2025 takes place from April 2nd to 4th 2025 in Mannheim. The three-day event will be at the Congress Centre Rosengarten.
The German Senior Citizens’ Day is the platform for exchange, information and networking around ageing in Germany. It is used by policymakers, civil society and the society at large to discuss current questions regarding older age. It is organised by BAGSO, the German National Association of Senior Citizens’ Organisations, together with its member organisations.
For three days, everything will revolve around the question of how to achieve a good life in old age. The programme includes more than 80 individual events and a fair where organisations and companies present their work, including many products and services for people aged 50+.
The German Senior Citizens' Day invites visitors of all generations to
- inform themselves about topics related to ageing and older people
- exchange experiences and network
- discuss current issues in ageing policy
- try out new things at the exhibition and during many events
- and experience celebrities from society and politics live
