Open Repair Consultation at the bib der dinge: Repairing, Learning, Acting Together
On Tuesday, May 26, 2026, the electronics workshop of the bib der dinge in Bochum will open its doors for everyone who wants to save defective everyday devices. The event experience combines expert guidance with a relaxed workshop atmosphere and emphasizes sharing, circular economy, and practical assistance.
Repair instead of Discard: Turning Defects Back into Everyday Life
Everything with a plug gets a second chance here under guidance – from toasters to speaker boxes. Unlike classic repair cafés, there is enough room in the consultation for repetitions, explanations, and informed discussions. This boosts the audience's mood and makes the event atmosphere tangible: tools hum, it smells like solder, and moments of success bring broad smiles.
Procedure, Organization, and Participation
The open consultation starts at 10:00 AM and ends at 3:00 PM. Registration is recommended for event planning, and mandatory for independent work, as places are limited. Those wanting to work independently will receive an orientation beforehand – safety comes first. Participants should bring consumable and replacement parts themselves if possible; if available, the stock on-site will assist.
Cost Model: Donation Principle with Meaning
Participation is free of charge. Repairs are carried out on a donation basis; this aligns with the target audience's approach to sustainability and resource conservation. There are on-site tariffs or bonus card models for independent repairs. The transparency of these regulations builds trust and makes the event experience manageable.
Location, Access, and Arrival
The workshop is located at Knüwerweg 1 (access via the parking lot, backyard entrance). The location between Ewaldstraße and Knüwerweg is central in southern Bochum. Clear signage and short distances on-site facilitate organization and event management. Information regarding accessibility and capacity will follow from the organizer.
Competence with Attitude
The bib der dinge is a non-profit project from Bochum that promotes lending instead of buying, repairing, and knowledge exchange. Media reports and partner institutions underscore the authority of the format and the professional event planning – from the lending catalog to regularly occurring repair offerings.
Conclusion: Those seeking functional solutions instead of electronic waste will experience a focused, helpful event experience. Come, register, participate – and go home with repaired favorite devices and new know-how.
