Family and Neighborhood Center (FQZ) Neue Vahr Nord

A place for meeting and communication

The FQZ, as a multi-generational center, is a place for encounters and communication. With a diverse range of intergenerational and intercultural programs, it serves as a resource for people in the neighborhood, addressing a wide variety of life situations and questions. Seven organizations/institutions together form a sponsoring association that supports and manages the center.

The premises (media room and orangery) are not only used for the various services offered by the house, but can also be rented for events and celebrations.

The meeting point Café in the FQZ, with its daily changing lunch menu and other culinary delights, current daily newspaper, board games, a well-stocked book exchange shelf and a children's play corner, is a popular meeting place in the building.

The attractive outdoor area with the café terrace and the multigenerational playground invites you to linger not only in bright sunshine, but also offers a place with real quality of stay and opportunities for exercise for young and old.

Regular counselling, support, education and leisure activities, as well as occasional events, contribute to increasing the quality of life and enjoyment of life for people in the neighborhood, and qualification and employment measures within the facility support participants in their (re)integration into working life.
