Bochum's Sustainability Center becomes a vibrant meeting place for ideas
In the heart of the city, an open space is being created at Kortumstraße 93 for all those who want to not only discuss sustainability but also experience it practically. The Sustainability Center is part of the Sustainability Year 2026 by Bochum Marketing and the City of Bochum and will open its doors from June to the end of August as a space for exchange, participatory formats, and new collaborations.

A store full of movement
Instead of empty spaces, visitors will be treated to a lively event experience with workbenches, chalk walls, exchange shelves, lectures, workshops, and exhibitions. The concept combines ecological, economic, and social sustainability into a place where public atmosphere and participation are at the center.

Participate instead of just watching
The Sustainability Center is deliberately designed to be open: in the foyer, discussions take place; in the Listen area, conversations and lectures are held; the Look Closely area offers space for exhibitions, and in the Do Something area, workbenches, materials, and ideas for upcycling, repair cafés, and workshops are ready. This transforms event planning into an immediate experience for all generations.

A place for exchange in Bochum's city center
Starting from June 16, the center will be accessible from Tuesday to Friday from 12 PM to 4 PM, as well as during additional action times in the evening and on weekends. Even before the opening, initial formats such as crochet courses and language cafés were announced. Participation is free of charge, and barrier-free access is available through a side entrance.

Why a visit is worthwhile
Those who want to experience sustainability as a concrete urban theme, as a meeting and as a participatory moment will find a clear point of contact here. The Sustainability Center makes visible how Bochum envisions the transition as a shared project. A visit is worthwhile for everyone seeking new ideas, good conversations, and practical impulses.
