Frauenstraße 24, Architectural heritage monument in Münster, Germany.

Frauenstraße 24 is an early 20th-century apartment building in Münster with an ornate facade. It survived the Second World War largely unscathed and was rebuilt and renovated in 1949/50 with public housing funds. Its ground floor holds a privately run Kneipe that still hosts a cultural programme.

Built in the early 20th century with an ornate facade, the house survived the Second World War largely unscathed and was rebuilt and renovated in 1949/50 with public housing funds, remaining under social-housing rules until early 1974. In 1971 the landlord Hans Stürmer bought it and sought demolition for new flats; after he let it decay, squatters moved in. On 3 October 1973 over 300 people occupied the building, preventing the demolition planned for the next day.

The ground-floor Kneipe, now privately run, still hosts a broad cultural programme, and since 1976 the regular event "Der heiße Freitag" has made the house known across Münster. The KulturVerein Frauenstraße 24 e.V. supports this programme as well as art and education on site.

The ground-floor Kneipe hosts a broad cultural programme, and the KulturVerein Frauenstraße 24 e.V. supports it. The building is rented by the AStA of the University of Münster to students, so the upper floors are private flats; visitors should keep to the pub and events.

The squatting that began on 3 October 1973, when over 300 people occupied the house, prevented demolition planned for the next day; it lasted until 1981 and counts among the longest occupations in West Germany. In 1976 residents held an open day to show citizens the good condition of the flats.
