Amt für multikulturelle Angelegenheiten

What Amt für multikulturelle Angelegenheiten does

The Amt für multikulturelle Angelegenheiten (AmkA) is a municipal department of the City of Frankfurt am Main, established in 1989 and operating under Dezernat II, which is led by Mayor Dr. Nargess Eskandari-Grünberg. The department is headed by Dr. Armin von Ungern-Sternberg and operates from Mainzer Landstraße 293 within the stadtRAUMfrankfurt intercultural center, an 8-floor facility that also houses the city's Welcome Center. Its functional mandate covers integration counseling, anti-discrimination casework, LSBTIQ coordination, and support for migrant self-organizations serving Frankfurt's diverse population — individual immigrants, the LSBTIQ community, and approximately 350 registered migrant associations.

AmkA delivers a portfolio of free public services: multilingual counseling in 15+ languages; an independent Ombudsstelle for anti-discrimination complaints; LSBTIQ coordination; project funding of up to 5,000 EUR per project; an IHK-certified language mediator qualification launched in 2022 in partnership with IHK Frankfurt; free room allocation for ~350 migrant self-organizations; cultural programming including CSD Frankfurt, Intercultural Week, and Day of Religions; school-based antisemitism education introduced after October 2023; and the annual Diversitäts- und Integrationspreis. The office also leads the regional AdiNet Rhein-Main anti-discrimination network and partners with museums via the Kultüröffner initiative for multilingual cultural access. Its technology platform is a multilingual information portal (amka.de) with accessibility tooling (Eye-Able), used for event listings, counseling intake, and downloadable multilingual guides.

AmkA is not a commercial entity; it is fully funded through the City of Frankfurt's municipal budget, and all services are provided free of charge to residents. Revenue and cost data are not publicly itemized in the available material. Operational scale is small — 14 employees — and growth in recent years has been expressed through broadened mandate and infrastructure consolidation (most notably the 2019 stadtRAUMfrankfurt relocation) rather than headcount expansion.
