Sustainability in the heart of Bochum: The Sustainability Center as an open meeting place

The Sustainability Center will bring fresh ideas, conversations, and participatory formats directly to the city starting June 23, 2026. An open space for ecological, economic, and social sustainability is being created at Kortumstraße 93 – free of charge, easily accessible, and close to the people.

A place where co-design becomes tangible

Those who enter will not experience a classic exhibition format but a changeable concept with workbenches, chalk walls, exchange shelves, lectures, and workshops. The Sustainability Center sees itself as a meeting point for all who want to not only discuss urban development but also shape it practically. This mix of information, participation, and personal encounters makes the format exciting for different target groups.

From conversation to upcycling impulses

The areas are clearly divided: Discussions take place in the foyer, the listen-here area focuses on lectures and conversations, the look-exactly area creates space for exhibitions, and in the do-something area, workshops, repair cafés, and upcycling ideas arise. Especially attractive for visitors is the open, flexible use – including barrier-free access through a side entrance.

For visitors, this creates a dense, approachable event experience with a local connection and real added value.
