Founding history

The feminist project Frauenbetriebe was developed as a labor market policy initiative in the Frankfurt women's school (1982–2013). The organization Frauenbetriebe - women create their own jobs e. V . The aim was to qualify long-term unemployed women for self-created jobs with needs-based business concepts. The association, initially run as a branch of the women's school and from 1985 independently run by Lu Haas and Gudrun Krieger, developed a socio-economic consulting concept that took into account the economic aspects of a start-up, but also personal factors such as the social environment, personal motivation and industry knowledge of the participants. Business administration, commercial and technical expertise as well as financing and communication strategies for female entrepreneurs were taught in one-and-a-half-year training cycles and weekly courses.

In 1988, the start-up center, the first nationwide, moved into a former factory building on Hamburger Allee in Frankfurt-Bockenheim. The advisory service was initially aimed at women in the trade and girls in commercial professions: the facility on around 1,000 square meters housed metal and wood workshops, a commercial kitchen and in-house childcare with a total of 25 workplaces.

At the same time, the women's businesses opened a shop as a point of sale, initially for the handicraft and design products manufactured in the women's businesses, at its current location on Leipziger Strasse .
