From June 1, 2025, Fachhochschule Dortmund will once again be offering its own childcare facilities for under-threes. The new "FrecHdachse" rooms are located at Vogelpothsweg 78, directly on the Emil-Figge-Straße campus. The family service is aimed at both students and employees who need childcare for their children.
"It's wonderful that we've found a place for the FrecHdachse that is easily accessible for many students and employees of Fachhochschule Dortmund," says Sonja Wentzel from Fachhochschule Dortmund's Family Service. The children's group was previously located near the Max-Ophüls-Platz campus. However, the rented rooms there had to be vacated at the end of last year due to structural defects.
With the new opening, students and employees of Fachhochschule Dortmund as well as Dortmund parents can have their children up to the age of three looked after close to home and campus. A total of nine childcare places are available, which are offered according to a special pedagogical concept by the experienced childminders Natascha Marszalek-Rossa and Stephan Gerke in cooperation with the Mütterzentrum Dortmund e.V. (Dortmund Mothers' Center). The new location on Vogelpothsweg is easy to reach by public transport (S-Bahn, H-Bahn, bus) and there are also plenty of parking spaces within walking distance.
One childcare place is already available from June, with further places becoming available from August 2025. Interested parties should contact the FH Family Service. E-mail: familienservicefh-dortmundde
