Guide for immigrants
Dear new fellow citizens of the District of Schwäbisch Hall,
You will, presumably, have recently arrived in the Federal Republic of Germany from abroad and have settled in the district of Schwäbisch Hall: WELCOME!
You are about to embark on a new phase of your life in unfamiliar surroundings.
No doubt you have many questions, and perhaps you are experiencing some difficulties in coping with everyday life.
You can obtain friendly help and advice from national, regional and local authorities, and charitable, church and ethnic organisations, as well as numerous private initiatives.
With this Guide for Immigrants, we hope to provide you with useful information, answers and guidance so that you can adjust to your new life in our beautiful district as easily as possible.
The Federal Republic of Germany is a liberal society, so please feel at liberty to independently and resolutely take your life into your own hand.
With kindest regards and best wishes for the future,
Gerhard Bauer
Schwäbisch Hall District Chief Executive

Directory of Doctors with Foreign-language Skills
Dear Citizens,
“There are 1,000 diseases, but only one health” Arthur Schopenhauer once said. Nevertheless, it is often very difficult for sick people and their dependants to describe complaints and health needs. This is particularly the case where language barriers and different cultural backgrounds additionally hamper communication with attending doctors.
There are about 40,000 persons with a migration background living in the Schwäbisch Hall district. Many of them have difficulty in obtaining access to good medical treatment even though this should be available to everyone. On the other hand, many people with a migration background are employed in healthcare occupations where their intercultural knowledge is actually an additional qualification.
This directory will help those seeking medical care to find a facility in our district where they can hope to obtain communicative assistance in their native language. Nevertheless, acquisition of the German language is of course still an essential requirement for successful integration. However, we appreciate that during the initial period after immigration, and in often difficult health situations, the ability to communicate in one’s native language is a great relief both for both patients and attending doctors alike.
Best wishes for a healthy future,
Gerhard Bauer
Chief Executive of the District of Schwäbisch Hall
