Back in 1984, a few courageous women founded the first cultural center for women and lesbians in East Westphalia-Lippe. The Frauenkulturzentrum e. V. (FraZe) Bielefeld has established itself as a meeting place for women* from a wide variety of backgrounds. FraZe offers open communication and exchange for all women* of any age, sexual orientation or origin. Whether it's about questions of equality, experiencing violence, coming out or women's* political discourse, the FraZe meeting place is unique in OWL. We are an integral part of Bielefeld's women's, lesbian, trans and inter-cultural scenes.

As the Frauenkulturzentrum Bielefeld e.V. is a publicly funded shelter for women, male readers are not admitted.
