ARRIVING · HERTEN, NORTH RHINE-WESTPHALIAGetting here.
Park on the street around Sophienstraße. In the evening there is normally space directly in front of the building; if not, the next side street is thirty seconds away.
We sit on the Herten side of the border with Recklinghausen — ten to twenty minutes from Recklinghausen, Gelsenkirchen, Marl, Gladbeck and Castrop-Rauxel, and well under an hour from Essen, Bochum and Dortmund.
Look for the entrance with the light on. If you cannot find us, call +49 172 4376870 and somebody will come out to the kerb and walk you in.
What happens when you walk in.
Somebody says hello, asks your name once, and shows you where the chairs, the tea and the toilets are. That is it. You will not be introduced to the room, asked to stand up, or handed a form.
If you would rather not talk to anyone at all, say “I’d just like to sit at the back” — it is a completely normal request and it will be respected without a second glance.
