Benefit concert in Euskirchen: Music for the emergency sleeping place enthusiastic!
Euskirchen, Deutschland - A musical highlight for a good cause Euskirchen experienced: In the Herz-Jesu Church, people flocked in half an hour before the benefit concert began. Four outstanding professional musicians, including the regional cantor Manfred Sistig on the organ and the talented trumpeters Daniel Ackermann and Jürgen Schuster, contributed to supporting the emergency sleep center with their performances. Stephanie Zimmer enchanted the audience on the harp and ensured a unique sound atmosphere that captivated the audience.
The music was gently and quiet, which put the audience into a special prayer. A piece by Gustav Mahler was spontaneously replaced by another, since the harp did not offer enough space for the sound. The trumpeters impressed with expansive phrases, which were kept through without interruption, which impressively demonstrated the professionalism of the musicians. The warm applause of the audience was the reward for impressive performance.
Euskirchen: Alarming numbers for homelessness
Maria Surges-Brilon from the Caritasverband Euskirchen spoke the floor during the concert and drawn attention to the urgent problems of the homeless. Nine burning candles in front of shear cuts reminded of the people who died this year at the emergency sleep center. "The numbers also rise in Euskirchen," emphasized Surges-Brilon and called the terrifying number of 2037 overnight stays last year. In 2023, 91 people already used the emergency sleeping center, which offers twelve sleeping places on 365 days a year.
The situation is tightened by financial bottlenecks, since a position was deleted from urban financing due to austerity measures. A deficit of 50,000 euros must now be covered by other means. The benefit concert was an important step to collect the urgently needed means. The idea for the concert came from Annette Schuster, the wife of the trumpeter Jürgen Schuster, and has developed into a permanent institution in Euskirchen since her first implementation twelve years ago. The emergency sleeping place offers much more than just one bed; It also supports people in dealing with the authorities and the search for accommodation, which is a new hope for many.
