Spiekeroog/ah –
Who on the internet after Sterneninsel searches don't just end up at Spiekeroog. Sterneninsel This is also the name of the children's and youth hospice service in Pforzheim and Enzkreis in Baden-Württemberg.

This is how the idea came about to use the same name for a good cause, according to a statement.
Term not protected
The term Sterneninsel is not legally protected and in astronomy describes a collection or accumulation of stars that are close together. Even if the term will continue to be used for the Dark Sky activities on Spiekeroog, the prominent position of the association should not be jeopardized so that the child and youth care associated with the term does not fade into the background in such serious cases over time moves.
Behind Sterneninsel e. V. are the full-time and volunteer staff of the children's and youth hospice service. They support families with children and young people with life-limiting illnesses as well as children from families with parents who have a life-limiting illness.

Nordseebad Spiekeroog GmbH has also agreed to cover the costs of the ship crossing. Participants also receive free entry to the environmental education center from the Wittbülten National Park House. Other local actors are to follow. Sterneninsel e. V. suggests people and/or carers accompanied by the association who are suitable for a stay on Spiekeroog. It is important to the team at the outpatient children's and youth hospice to help Not only to give days to life, but also to give days a life that can be experienced. One or two offers per year are currently planned, with the stay on the island taking place outside of the main travel times in order to enable accommodation. The municipal administration, with the participation of the Dehoga Spiekeroog local group, agrees with the accommodation providers on the scope of the accommodation offered free of charge. The equal distribution of free places should be carried out on a rotating basis for all companies offering them.
