Join the Fellows Ride Hannover on June 27, 2026, for a powerful demonstration supporting mental health awareness, particularly focusing on age-related depression under the motto 'Mit offenem Visier' (With Open Visor). This significant charity motorcycle event aims to break the stigma surrounding mental health issues and raise crucial funds for local projects.
This year's ride emphasizes the often-overlooked challenges of depression in older adults. The event begins with a gathering at Robert-Enke-Platz, a location symbolic of open dialogue about mental health, starting at 10:00 AM. The motorcycle convoy, with police escort, will depart around 11:00 AM, embarking on a route through Hannover that concludes at Stift zum Heiligen Geist. Following the ride, a community festival will take place, offering a space for connection and further engagement. Support for this initiative comes from esteemed organizations including the Robert-Enke-Stiftung, Bündnis gegen Depressionen, Sozialverband Deutschland (SoVD), MTAS-Nord, and the German Red Cross, ensuring broad community backing and accessibility, with the SoVD providing a bus for those who need it.
