The pandemic saw the Railway Mission faced with extraordinary challenges: On peak days, up to 400 people sought assistance. A warm cup of tea, new clothes, a place to stay, or, especially over the holidays, a warming sleeping bag. This year Verein der Freunde des OpernTurms e.V. once again supported this crucial work with donations. © Reinhard / Verein der Freunde des OpernTurms e.V.
