Fritz-Henßler-Haus, Youth center and architectural monument in Dortmund, Germany

Fritz-Henßler-Haus is a municipal youth and community centre in Dortmund's Nordstadt, built in 1955–56 to a four-wing design in 1950s style, with wings of differing storey heights. Its event hall seats 306; the former library reading room now holds a youth café, and workshops occupy the cellars. It has been a listed monument since 1998.

The building received recognition as an architectural heritage monument in North Rhine-Westphalia, preserving its structural elements. This designation protects the historic fabric of the structure for future generations.

The building is named after Fritz Henßler, Dortmund's first post-war mayor. Its showpiece is the Zirkus Fritzantino, founded in 1977 as a project with children and among Germany's oldest children's and youth circus groups; it took part in all five international children's and youth circus festivals in Cologne.

The center welcomes visitors ranging from children to young adults and operates throughout the week. Check in advance which activities are scheduled for the day you plan to visit.

The Zirkus Fritzantino program teaches circus arts to children and teenagers, combining physical training with stage experience. This unusual offering develops both athletic abilities and confidence through performance.
