Welcome to the website of the Senior Citizens' Council in Aachen. With these pages, we want to supplement the city's pages on ageing from the perspective of citizens who are already older and provide information about our projects. Ideally, these pages should be a portal for a generation that will soon make up 30% of the population and has its own specific needs. You should find suggestions here. And if you are missing something, please contact us. Your editorial team of the Aachen Seniors' Council. seniorenrat.aachen.redaktion@web.de

The Senior Citizens' Council in Aachen
The Senior Citizens' Council (formerly the "Seniors' Council") of the City of Aachen has been in existence for over 40 years. This means that the city recognized very early on that older residents must be given sufficient consideration by the administration, politicians and other institutions and need their own "lobby".
About us
The Senior Citizens' Council represents senior citizens in Aachen as a link to various institutions. Around 30% of senior citizens eligible to vote took part in the 2022 senior citizens' council elections. We would like to report on the work of your senior citizens' councils here.
The Executive Board
Our mission as a municipal body is to represent the group of Aachen residents aged 60 and over. Nevertheless, we also look "beyond the age limit" and focus on the perceived needs of future senior citizens. These needs may differ significantly from those of current senior citizens.
Seniors' Council on the Ratsinfo portal
At this point, we primarily provide information on topics from the committees in which representatives of the Senior Citizens' Council are represented and which affect the 60plus generation. The complete information from the public committee meetings can be found in the City of Aachen's council information system.
events
The range of events for the (prospective) 60-plus generation is diverse, but also confusing. That's why the Senior Citizens' Council has compiled selected dates for you in an online calendar.

App recommendations

Well supplied in Aachen
On the market for several years and now successfully established in almost 60 German cities, the free health and senior citizens' app "Gut versorgt in ..." is now available free of charge to all citizens in Aachen. The app offers a wide range of orientation aids and information from and about Aachen.

Nora - Emergency call app
There are situations that we would prefer not to experience. But if it does happen, we react frantically and sometimes incorrectly. This is where the nora app can help, as it not only addresses the emergency call correctly, but also asks the right questions.

Nina - Warning app
The flood disaster in the Ahr valley, but also in NRW, have shown how important a central app can be for important civil protection alerts - whether weather warnings from the German Weather Service or major fires, this app will keep you informed.
Please note:
In the past, the Nora app was repeatedly misused for fake calls in which an emergency was faked for another person. The technical term for this is swatting, which at times accounted for up to 30% of emergency calls (source: Spiegel). The app is therefore undergoing a technical overhaul and cannot currently be reinstalled. Registration is also not possible. However, registered users can continue to use the app.
