Jugendhof Vlotho

Jugendhof Vlotho is an educational facility with heritage monument status, built on grounds featuring traditional timber-framed structures and modern conference buildings. The various buildings are arranged around green spaces and contain guest bedrooms for overnight stays along with several event spaces of different sizes.

The facility was established in 1946 following World War II as an institution for professional education. In 1954 it was integrated into the LWL Department for Youth and School, shifting its focus toward specialized training services.

The center brings educators together to exchange knowledge about their work with young people, while hosting programs focused on trauma-informed approaches and child protection. Visitors can experience how this dedication to safeguarding and development shapes daily life at this place.

Visitors will find guest bedrooms, multiple rooms for seminars and events of various sizes, and dining areas with different meal options. The grounds provide space for stays of different lengths, and the room layout allows flexible work with groups of varying sizes.

The grounds show different phases of development, mixing older buildings with contemporary additions that reveal how educational facility needs have shifted over time. This layered architecture visibly tells the story of the institution's evolution in its physical structure.
