Seniors' Council

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.

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.
