The Seniors' Advisory Council deals with all local issues relating to the 60+ population. This includes, among other things:

• It represents the interests and concerns of the 60+ generations.
• It helps to shape the living environment for senior citizens in Erlangen and addresses issues of relevance to older people.
• It works together with institutions, associations and clubs and seeks networking and exchange.
• It forwards the concerns of older people to the city council and the administration.

... and much more!

Since 1974. The current term of office runs from November 2024 to June 2027.

The Advisory Board consists of 28 members, 25 deputies and one honorary member.
The members are made up of representatives of people in residential care facilities and senior housing, representatives of social organizations and associations, representatives of senior citizens' clubs, people with experience in senior citizens' work and one member from each of the city council parliamentary groups and committee groups.

Unfortunately not. The advisory board is not elected, but appointed by the city council for three years.

All citizens can take part in the public meetings of the Senior Citizens' Advisory Council. They are also cordially invited to various events.
