Showing Heart

The Lichtwoche Sauerland has stood for many years not only for professional exchange, but also for social commitment. With the initiative “Ein Herz fürs Hospiz” (“A Heart for Hospice”), the event has, since 2015, combined professional encounters with a clear sign of solidarity in the region. As part of the LightNight, the illuminated heart pin will once again be distributed in 2026. It symbolises a small gesture with a meaningful impact. Thanks to the voluntary support of participants, more than €35,000 have already been raised in recent years for hospice care in the Sauerland – supporting institutions that accompany people in the final stage of their lives and rely on additional donations.

Especially in a market currently characterised by restraint and carefully considered decisions, it becomes clear that responsibility does not end at the exhibition stand. The Lichtwoche Sauerland sees itself as a platform for orientation – and at the same time as part of a region that stands together. With “Ein Herz fürs Hospiz”, the LightNight thus remains not only an evening of exchange, but also a visible sign of shared commitment.
