Staying Mentally Fit in Old Age: An Informative Afternoon in Gilching
The 7th Bavarian Dementia Week invites you on September 24, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM to an understandable and senior-friendly lecture at the Museum SchichtWerk in Gilching. The focus is on the questions: What is dementia, what diagnostic and treatment options are there, and what research activities are helping? The afternoon will be complemented by an information booth on housing advice and the opportunity to participate in a memory test upon registration.

Knowledge that Provides Orientation
The afternoon offers older people and relatives a quiet access to an important health topic. The content is focused on education, health prevention, and social participation. Particularly for seniors, it creates an atmosphere where questions can be raised and information is delivered in an understandable form.

A Place with History and Proximity to Daily Life
The SchichtWerk at Brucker Straße 11 in 82205 Gilching is a cultural venue with local relevance. The association Zeitreise Gilching e.V. operates the house and is known for its educational work surrounding local history and archaeology. The municipality of Gilching describes the district and its surroundings as well connected; additionally, barrier-free offers in public spaces are documented around Gilching.

Barrier-Free Access and Comfort
Important for visitors with mobility restrictions: The SchichtWerk has a barrier-free declaration, while an official information sheet indicates that the Wersonhaus is not barrier-free. Therefore, prior consultation is especially advisable for seniors, particularly if walking aids, companionship, or additional support are needed.

Arrive Well, Participate Well
Participation is only possible after registration via email or phone. The limited capacity for the memory test emphasizes the personal and quiet character of the event. The information booth for housing advice in the foyer is accessible without registration and complements the afternoon with practical support.

A visit is worthwhile for everyone who wants to feel informed, taken seriously, and well supported.
