International Women's Club of Munich 

Who are we?

The International Women's Club of Munich (IWC) is a social club offering opportunities for 'camaraderie, culture and contacts' to English-speaking women of all ages and nationalities living in Munich and the surrounding region.

What do we offer?

Newcomers to Munich will feel at home in Munich faster through membership in the IWC by getting support from women who have been through the initial stages of coming to a foreign country not speaking any German and learning from their invaluable experiences. Women already established in Munich, German or otherwise, will enjoy attending the monthly meetings and participating in this energetic organization's many special interest groups, regular outings and celebrations.

 
Interested in joining us? Then come to our next monthly meeting as a guest! Or click here to register today online and we will be in contact with you over the next day or two with more information. Registration is free and allows you to attend up to three activities of your choice to help you decide whether you'd like to join us.

Although you choose a password during the registration process, this does not allow you full access to our website. This is only possible once your annual fee is paid and received by our Treasurer; this may take up to 2 weeks, so please be patient!.

The annual fee is €40, with the membership year running from 01 February to 31 January the following year. Payment may be made either in cash at a monthly meeting or by bank transfer: Kreditinstitut: Dresdner Bank; Bankleitzahl: 70080000; Konto-Nr.: 0515074700; Begünstiger: Christa Olms & Erika Marx. In the two lines under Kunden-Referenznummer, please print ‘YOUR name’, the ‘year’ e.g.2008, and the word ‘DUES’. This makes it easier for us to avoid confusion if the bank account is in another person’s name.

 
The Club meetings take place the second Wednesday of each month, usually from 10:00am to 12:30pm at the Kolpingsaal Hall at Kirchenstraße 6, near Max Weber Platz (U4/U5). We also have a few evening meetings throughout the year so that those of you working, or wishing to bring partners, have an opportunity to attend.You can also contact Claire Lohmann by e-mail or at: 089 9789 6594 or Margaret Hilditch by e-mail or at: 08167 955 044 to make arrangements or to answer any questions.

Our monthly meetings are a time to socialise and learn something new at the same time. Each month we endeavour to invite experts to speak on topics that we think would interest members. For example, for our July (evening) meeting we’ve invited a local professional astronomer to tell us about his work with the Hubble Space Telescope, which is sure to be an interesting experience. In the coming months we are looking forward to our annual summer picnic, as well as a presentation by our Vice-Chairwoman. Through donations of toiletries and clothing we support the battered women’s shelter (the ‘Frauenhaus’ ), as well as raising money to enable the children to have outings at various times of the year. In May we had our annual “Gardening Day” there to help prepare the vegetable beds.


We offer a variety of activities during the month to keep members busy until the next meeting. Check out the monthly Newsletter to see to see what’s on offer.
