Open Repair Consultation: Tinkering, repairing, sharing knowledge together

The Open Repair Consultation at the bib der dinge invites you to a sustainable event experience on Tuesday. Between the soldering station and the tool wall, a lively event atmosphere is created: Professionals and curious individuals explore the insides of broken everyday devices – and with expert guidance, they get them running again.

Repair instead of throwing away: How the consultation works

On-site repair expertise is available for anything with a plug. Under guidance, devices are inspected, disassembled, and tested – similar to a Repair Café, but with more room for exchange, targeted organization, and repeated work steps. Personal projects are possible after training in the electrical workshop; spots are limited, so registration is recommended.

Audience mood: Hands-on, helpful, solution-oriented

The audience mood thrives on short distances, clear event planning, and visible successes: A power supply hums again, the vacuum cleaner purrs, headphones sound fresh. The communal event experience raises awareness for circular economy – very practically, immediately, and motivating.

Costs, Times, Notes

Participation is free of charge. Repairs are generally done on a donation basis; consumables and spare parts should be brought or organized on-site as needed. Prior knowledge is helpful for independent work; safety-related decisions are made by the guides.

Access and Entrance

The hall is located in the backyard on Knüwerweg with access via the parking lot at Knüwerweg 1. Follow the signage into the courtyard; there is the entrance to the workshop.

Conclusion: Those who want to save devices, expand know-how, and conserve resources will experience lived sustainability here – hands-on, collegial, and with a noticeable Aha effect. Mark the date, register, and bring your own project.
