With the Silver Lilies at the Rosenhöhe
On a wonderfully warm and sunny Wednesday afternoon in May, around 25 members of the SilberLilien (Silver Lilies) gathered for a special outing. Their destination was Rosenhöhe: the historic park in eastern Darmstadt that not only tells stories from past centuries but is also home to many small natural wonders. The group was led by the two people without whom the SilberLilien would not exist in this form: Chris and Bernd Hennrich. These two are not only the initiators of the SV Darmstadt 98 over-60s organisation, they are the heart and driving force behind an idea that creates solidarity, shares memories, and carries the spirit of the Lilien family far beyond the stands.
