Who we are
Protecting women and children from violence
We are the Frauenhaus Münster.
The women’s refuge in Münster was founded in 1991 and is part of the Frauenhaus und Beratung e.V. association, which is an autonomous and self-governing association dedicated to the protection of women and children affected by violence.
The way to the women's refuge
Are you looking for a place at a women's refuge?
What is a women’s refuge?
A women’s refuge is a shelter for women and children who are threatened or affected by violence. Here you and your children are given temporary accommodation, protection, advice and support.
Where is the women’s refuge?
The address of the women’s refuge is secret. This means that you and your children are safe with us.
How can you reach us?
If you want to come to us, you can always call us. If we have free places, we will arrange a meeting point nearby, where we will pick you and your children up.
Who can come to us?
Every woman who experiences violence or is affected by violence can move to the women’s refuge. No matter what nationality, religion or how much money she has. Whether with or without children. We are a place for all people who see themselves as women. We are queer-friendly. Just give us a call and we will clarify everything personally. Even if you’re not sure whether we’re the right place for you. You can come to us in the case of any form of violence. No matter who exercises the violence.

Living at the women’s refuge
A safe place.
At the women’s refuge, you and your children are protected.
The women’s refuge is a safe place for you and your children. The address is secret.
You live alone or with your children in your own room. You share the kitchen, bathroom, living room and play area with the other women and children. You organize your everyday life yourself.
Only women who are committed to you and your children work at the women’s refuge. That is what we call partiality. We as employees are available on site at fixed times. We help you with all your concerns and support you. Children have their own contact persons.
Community is important to us. We do great things together, celebrate parties and go on vocation. So we can escape from everyday life and experience wonderful moments.
Don’t be worry about the length of your stay: you can stay as long as necessary.
Children at the women’s refuge
Women’s refuges are always also children protection centres.
Children are always affected by violence themselves. No matter whether they experience violence themselves or witness it.
At the women’s refuge, children find a place where they can feel safe and secure. In an anxiety-free atmosphere, they can calm down, coming to terms with their experiences.
Here each child has their own contact person, who helps the children come to terms with the violence they have experienced and supports them.
There are play and childcare activities for children several times a week.
We can accept boys up to the age of 17.
