The nationwide supply with the offerings of Palliative Care is a generally acknowledged aim. But it is disputed whether it is a sufficient alternative to death on demand or assisted suicide. This is being discussed on a European level. But what the current discussion is lacking of, are empirical studies regarding the culture of dying. The case study at hand looks into the basic social and cultural conditions in a large city. It also discusses the consequences of religious change and the inter-religious situation on the palliative-movement and their relation to the churches.
