For almost 70 years, the Internationales Beratungszentrum (IBZ) has been helping people who have moved to Stuttgart. We are part of the city’s support system for migrants. As well, our team comprises many different experts, and we give advice on a wide range of topics about life in Germany. We are familiar with many local organizations and can refer you to them should you require further assistance.
We also run special projects. Currently, we are helping refugees find jobs through “NIFA plus” and provide support to women and children in need of safe housing via “FamilienMittendrin”. Additionally, we share stories about our work and clients on Instagram with the hashtag #stories.

Our team is comprised of 50 people. Most of them are social workers with experience in migration. Some have other skills such as psychology or healthcare.
Many people in our team speak different languages. Even if your German is not good, we will try to help you.
Yes, you can bring your children if you don’t have anyone else to look after them - there are play areas available. However, children cannot come to counselling alone. Please do not ask your children to translate for you during counselling, particularly if the subject matter is difficult.
We can help you look for housing and explain your options. However, we do not provide housing ourselves.
We need volunteers, especially to help refugees. In Stuttgart, local groups called “Freundeskreise” (friends’ groups) organize volunteering activities. If you would like to help, please contact us by phone or email using the details provided above.
