Pater Anselm Grün

Many people today struggle with faith; they no longer feel God’s presence. But they feel a longing for something that transcends them, that gives them a sense of stability, that allows them to go through life with confidence even in the face of vulnerability, uncertainty, powerlessness, fear, or loneliness. Father Anselm Grün is convinced: In the longing for faith, faith is already present. And in the longing for God, God is already present. Longing is a natural capacity of the human soul; everyone carries it within themselves. And it offers hope, even in the most difficult situations. It helps people to work toward positive change, thereby pointing the way to healing, trust, freedom, and connectedness. Father Anselm Grün will speak at the invitation of the Evangelical Education Center Hospitalhof and the Telephone Counseling Service.

Venue
The Hospitalhof in Stuttgart is one of the city’s most important cultural institutions. Cultural highlights take place here at regular intervals in a unique atmosphere. Its diverse program, ample space, and striking architecture have made the Hospitalhof well-known even beyond the city limits.

Tournaments were once held on the grounds of the Hospitalhof. At the end of the 15th century, a Dominican monastery was built on the tournament field. After the Reformation, the monastery was converted into a hospital, and a good four centuries later, the hospital became an educational center. Today, the Hospitalhof presents itself in a modern guise. In addition to the Hospitalkirche, two halls and five event rooms are used for all kinds of events. The heart of the Hospitalhof is the Paul-Lechler-Saal. It impresses with state-of-the-art event technology and a wonderful atmosphere. Slightly smaller, but no less appealing, is the Elisabeth-and-Albrecht-Goes Hall. Here, too, an outstanding program awaits you. With their superb facilities and wonderful atmosphere, the conference rooms leave nothing to be desired.

Here, every event becomes an unforgettable experience. Enjoy first-class entertainment in a setting steeped in history.
