At home on the sofa, in a hospital bed, or in a care home: where a death takes place is always recorded on the death certificate. Until now, however, this information has never been collated and evaluated in Germany. For the first time, the place of death records for Germany have now been analyzed; findings suggest that every second person died in a hospital; only one in four died at home.
