Bochum's Sustainability Center opens the door to ideas for tomorrow
In the heart of the city, an open space is emerging at Kortumstraße 93 for everyone who wants to not just discuss sustainability but experience it. The Sustainability Center by Bochum Marketing and the City of Bochum combines exhibitions, workshops, discussions, and participatory formats into a lively event experience with a clear focus on ecological, economic, and social sustainability.
A retail space becomes a meeting point for future topics
From June to August 2026, the vacant retail space will transform into a room with a workbench, chalk wall, exchange shelf, and room for interaction. The concept focuses on low-threshold access and an atmosphere where visitors can directly engage. Whether it's education for sustainable development, resource conservation, circular economy, or social justice: the content addresses concrete everyday issues and makes them tangible in an urban environment.
Participate, discuss, try out
The Sustainability Center is designed as a meeting point, workshop, stage, and discussion room. Visitors will experience a mix of lectures, discussion formats, exhibitions, upcycling ideas, repair cafés, and exchange actions. The open structure creates an audience atmosphere that sounds less like a classic event and more like communal designing. This is precisely what makes the appeal of this format: it brings together people who want to think and act more sustainably in Bochum.
Accessible and free of charge
The use of the rooms is free, and a barrier-free access point is available through a side entrance. This sends a clear signal for openness and participation. Anyone wishing to present an idea, project, or their own format will find a platform here that is highly relevant for the city community, clubs, initiatives, education, and engagement.
What visitors can expect
The Sustainability Center does not offer a rigid program but a versatile event experience with space for encounters, exchange, and practice. Anyone wanting to experience sustainable topics in a lively city center setting should visit this place and take home the dynamics of the Sustainability Year 2026 in Bochum.
