The Begine was founded in 1986 as a coffee shop an cultural center for women. The site: an old house formaly squatted and completely resonstructed by women.

The BEGINE has been existing for over 20 years with a changeful herstory now.

And we still offer a wide cultural program, covering all kinds of categories and aiming at an international approach with multifarious events and performances of music, cabaret, theatre, literature, movie screenings, information meetings and discussions and exhibitions. In addition we make our rooms available for all kinds of events, mostly women related, and we support women, if asked, in their progress of working as artists.

We are strongly commited to offer room and space to women and provide them with a place to meet, to share, to join and to spent time with women in a secure atmosphere. We support female artists of all sorts and kinds.

We are a non-profit association und are happy to write out a tax-deductible contribution receipt on demand.
