Grief Space in Amberg: A Protected Place for Remembrance and Comfort

When a child dies during pregnancy, at birth, or shortly thereafter, this loss leaves deep marks. The Grief Space in the Paulaner Church Amberg opens a quiet, dignified place where parents of star children, bereaved parents and children, relatives, and sympathizers can give space to their grief. People of all denominations and backgrounds are welcome.

Candlelight, Rituals, and Personal Symbols

In the atmosphere of the Paulaner Church, tranquility, candlelight, and gentle rituals combine to create a special spiritual experience. Visitors can express thoughts, wishes, and memories, take a moment of pause, and give visible form to their own grief. The stations of the exhibition invite personal feelings to be acknowledged and a moment of reflection to be found.

Conversation, Prayer, and Spiritual Community

The Grief Space combines exhibition and pastoral support. Conversation opportunities open space for encounters, while meditative evening liturgies, prayers, and kind words can provide comfort. The religious experience remains open and inclusive: The focus is on respectful listening, the dignity of each loss, and the community with people who know grief or wish to accompany it in solidarity.

The event starts on Thursday, October 15, 2026, with the exhibition opening from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. At 7:00 PM, there will be a service with Pastor Theresa Amberg.
