  In English and German, the concept of Spiritual Care is increasingly becoming the focus of attention. The aim of this paper is to explore this concept and to outline how it can be linked to the idea of active ageing. In the first part of this article, we will look at how Spiritual Care fits into health care. We will approach this question from two perspectives: first, we will define the concept of Spiritual Care and spirituality and, in this context, illustrate the applicability of the concept by briefly presenting two examples from clinical practice: Breitbart's meaning-centred group psychotherapy and spiritual pain. In this theoretical framework, the logotherapeutic approach plays a prominent role. The ways in which Spiritual Care can be understood and implemented at the organisational level will be discussed in detail. In this context, the main features of the Spiritual Needs Questionnaire developed by Büssing will be briefly described. We highlight elderly care as an important field of application of Spiritual Care, justified by demographic changes. The second major content unit of our article introduces the concept of active ageing, the role of spirituality in old age and the areas of spiritual care in old age.
