About
Hard beds - life without an address
Night café
The morning in Dresden. Commencing rush hour traffic. Traffic flows.
A spirit of optimism in the city - also in some rooms in the Church of Reconciliation. There is tea and bread, last tired exchanges, then those who stayed here leave. Two women are left behind, for whom the cleanup now begins. It is the "Nachtcafé" (Night café) in Dresden - a contact point for non-sedentary people in Dresden, an initiative that was launched 5 years ago by students was launched. At first it was just the Church of the Three Kings, followed a year later by the Church of Reconciliation and has since offered overnight accommodation and food to the homeless.
Helga-Maria U. is one of them who has been there since the beginning - on a voluntary basis. A network of night cafes has now been created. Every evening, a church in the city offers its premises to those in need from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m.
