The Club A Portrait of the International Women’s Club of Frankfurt e.V.
The IWC has existed since 1946. It was founded by Elisabeth Norgall whose intention it was to contribute to peace between the people and to promote mutual understanding and cultural exchange. To this day members have remained true to these objectives.
* 10. 3. 1887 - † 31. 8. 1981 The history of the club has its roots in the difficult post-war years in Frankfurt. At that time teacher Elisabeth Norgall was working as a translator for the US forces and at the same time opened her home to German and American women so that they could talk to each other about their mutual problems. From these informal discussions emerged the conviction that differing opinions could be mastered in a tolerant manner through friendship, mutual understanding and the overcoming of language barriers. In monthly meetings, which even today determine the rhythm of club life, they discussed topics of the day. This German-American Ladies Club became the International Women’s Club of Frankfurt e.V. in 1946.
