The FrauenKulturZentrum is Darmstadt's women's centre. It is run by an association that describes itself as made up of autonomous lesbians and other women, together with groups with feminist aims. It opened in 1994 in the Kyritzschule with rooms and funding from the city, stayed there for more than 30 years, and has now moved to new rooms at the Andreas parish on Paul-Wagner-Straße in Bessungen.
Its best known event is the tanzbar, a women's disco with hits from the sixties to the nineties that has been part of the programme for years. Alongside it there is a women's breakfast, Noche Latina, a salsa night for women, film evenings and a bar.
During the week the rooms are used by women's groups and courses, from WenDo self-defence to hula hoop and creative workshops, and the centre offers counselling as well. The events are for women.
