An open space for ideas, exchange, and sustainable impulses is being created in the heart of Bochum
The Sustainability Center transforms a retail space at Kortumstraße 93 into a vibrant meeting point for anyone looking to help shape Bochum more sustainably. This format is part of the Sustainability Year 2026 and combines exhibition, discussion, workshop, and participatory action into a compact event experience with a strong audience atmosphere. Admission is free. ([bochum-tourismus.de](https://www.bochum-tourismus.de/was-ist-los/veranstaltungskalender/veranstaltung/nachhaltigkeitszentrale-20.html))
A place that makes sustainability tangible
Upon entering the Sustainability Center, visitors do not encounter a traditional trade fair format, but rather an open city space featuring a workbench, chalkboard, exchange shelf, lecture area, and exhibition spaces. This mixture fosters closeness: visitors discuss, learn, exchange ideas, and contribute their own thoughts. The city of Bochum and Bochum Marketing thus rely on participation, visibility, and a clear targeting for people from all neighborhoods.

Participate instead of just watching
From repair cafes to upcycling offers to discussion formats and small actions in the evening or on weekends, the program is intentionally open-ended. Particularly exciting: the spaces can be flexibly used, and a low-barrier access is also possible through a side entrance. This makes the Sustainability Center a place where event planning, local initiatives, and civic engagement meet practically.
