An open place for ideas, exchange, and co-design in the heart of Bochum

The Sustainability Center brings the Bochum Sustainability Year 2026 directly to the city center. From June to August 2026, a free space for workshops, lectures, discussions, repair cafes, exchange ideas, and creative participatory formats will be created at Kortumstraße 93. Bochum Marketing and the city of Bochum are setting a visible sign for sustainable urban development, social participation, and practical solutions in everyday life.

A storefront becomes a stage for future topics

The Sustainability Center sees itself as an open meeting point for everyone who wants to contribute to making Bochum more sustainable. The concept is intentionally low-threshold: An empty storefront will serve as a workshop for new ideas, a discussion area for the neighborhood, and a showcase for initiatives, startups, and university projects. Planned activities include repair cafes, exchange shelves, upcycling workshops, lectures, speed talking formats, plant exchanges, and information offers on climate protection and climate adaptation.

City center, feeling of participation, and barrier-free access

The location at Kortumstraße 93 is right in the middle of Bochum's city center and promotes short distances, exchange, and visibility. According to the official description, the shop construction is sustainable and implemented with barrier-free access, and there is also a barrier-free access via a side entrance. The use of the spaces is free and flexible, and the opening hours of the center are Tuesday to Friday from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. as well as during additional action times in the evening and on weekends.

The Sustainability Center makes sustainable urban development tangible: with concrete projects, personal exchange, and an audience atmosphere that feels more like participation than a lecture. This is exactly the strength of this format – it combines organization, event planning, and target audience engagement with real everyday benefits.
