Fachhochschule Dortmund will once again be offering childcare for under-threes from June 1, 2025. The Fachhochschule Dortmund is cooperating with the Dortmund Mothers' Center association and the City of Dortmund's Youth Welfare Office. The new "FrecHdachse" rooms are located at Vogelpothsweg 78, directly on the Emil-Figge-Straße campus. The family service is aimed at students as well as employees and Dortmund families who need childcare for their children.
"It is wonderful that we have found a place for the FrecHdachse that is very easily accessible for many students and employees of Fachhochschule Dortmund," says Sonja Wentzel from the Family Service of Fachhochschule Dortmund. The childcare facility, a so-called large day care center, 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 Sonja Wember-Matthes, specialist advisor at Mütterzentrum Dortmund.
