The Frauenzentrum is on the ground floor of the Grandhotel Cosmopolis in the old town, and it is the main point of contact in Augsburg for queer women and nonbinary people.
The counselling service covers coming out, sexuality, questions of identity, conflicts in relationships, separation and divorce, and experiences of discrimination. It is there for lesbian, bisexual and queer women and for nonbinary people, and also for relatives and for professionals who need advice. Appointments are made by phone on a dedicated line.
There is more to the house than the counselling. It runs a women's bar, a reading café and a choir, holds coming out groups, and hosts a regular meet up for queer women over fifty. That last one is unusual enough to be worth naming: very few German cities have anything of the kind.
The building it sits in is a social art project combining a hotel, a café and studios, so the address is easy to find and there is somewhere to sit afterwards.
