Berlin International Women’s Club
We’ve been here in Berlin since 1992, exploring all the city has to offer and bringing our perspectives, skills and talents together to create a warm and welcoming community. If you are internationally-minded and you speak and understand English, we would like to get to know you. We are 200+ members strong from over 25 different countries.

Open Door
The BIWC is a member of Open Door, a network of International Women’s Associations. Open Door exists to foster inter-club contact and communication among non-political, non-religious, and non-commercial women’s associations that are open to all nationalities.
Today more than eighty clubs in forty countries belong, opening their doors to each other.
The BIWC actively coordinates visits of our members with sister clubs in Open Door, sometimes where we are guests visiting other cities, sometimes hosting guests from sister clubs here in Berlin.
