A life for the community - Wilhelm Does on Emmaus Cologne and his commitment

Wilhelm Does, chairman and former leader of the Emmaus Community Cologne, will talk about his life and his many years of commitment to the community.

He addresses various topics: The work of the Emmaus Community, the trade in second-hand goods, the community organization and the international projects, such as the Emmaus project in Ukraine.

What is the Emmaus Community?

The worldwide Emmaus movement was founded in France in 1949 by Abbé Pierre to give homeless and disadvantaged people a new perspective through community life and work

The Emmaus Community in Cologne is a living and working community that is open to people regardless of nationality, past and religious or political beliefs. In particular, it offers people in difficult life situations such as homelessness or unemployment an opportunity to live and work together

The community finances itself independently by collecting and selling second-hand goods such as furniture, clothing and household items. These goods are offered for sale in their own second-hand stores, where anyone can shop at a reasonable price. Through this work, the community remains independent of external financial support.

The Emmaus Community Cologne is also involved in helping the homeless, for example by providing hot meals in cooperation with other associations.

The main branch is located at Geestemünder Str. 42, 50735 Cologne, with opening hours from Monday to Friday from 15:00 to 18:00 and on Saturdays from 10:00 to 14:00. Another store, the "Lädchen", is located at Baudriplatz 16 in Cologne-Nippes. Emmaus Cologne

We are happy to receive a small donation for the food.

Come along, bring friends and spend a nice evening full of enjoyment and encounters.

We look forward to seeing you!
