Enhancing Mobility Options for the Elderly

In the heart of Marburg, the city is expanding its open movement offerings with a new addition specifically tailored for seniors. Starting on the 27th of August, a regular senior movement offering will take place every fourth Wednesday of the month in the city forest.

This initiative, part of the comprehensive concept for movement and health promotion in the city, is not connected to the senior café located at Dietrich-Bonhoeffer-Straße 16, but is an independent initiative by the city of Marburg. The exact location for the senior movement offering in the city forest has not been specified yet.

The senior movement offering is designed for seniors seeking low-impact, non-pressure activities for health. The exercises offered will be tailored to individual abilities and knowledge, focusing on mobilization, strengthening, and balance. The event will take place from 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM.

The responsible person for this new offering is not explicitly named in the provided search results. However, it is known that the senior movement offering is one of the offerings started in connection with the "Kommunale Bewegungsförderung zur Implementierung der Nationalen Empfehlungen" (KOMBINE) project.

This new movement offering in the city forest is a part of the city's commitment to promoting health and well-being among its senior citizens. Participation in the open movement offerings, including the senior movement offering, is free, making it an accessible option for all.

Stay tuned for more updates on the exact location and any further details about the senior movement offering in Marburg's city forest.
