About us

Since 2017, the Fachstelle Deutschförderung (Competence Center for Support in Learning German) has been committed to improve the visibility and accessibility of open-access services for students of German in Darmstadt. Our main task is to collect and publish the range of courses available and to give advice to students of German and to multipliers.

The “Fachstelle Deutschförderung” belongs to the independent organisation network ROPE (Netzwerk ROPE e.V.). It was originally set up as part of the “QuartiersKlub Kranichstein” project, one of three Darmstadt sub-projects carried out from 2015 to 2018 in the overall project “Engagiert im Quartier – Erfolgreich in Arbeit und Beruf” (Engaged in the Neighbourhood – Successful in Work and Employment), which was funded by the program “Bildung, Wirtschaft, Arbeit im Quartier – BIWAQ” by the Federal Environment Ministry and the European Social Fund as well as by the City of Science Darmstadt.

Since 2019, the Social Department of the City of Darmstadt has taken over the funding of the Competence Centre for Support in Learning German.
