Together repair instead of throwing away: The open repair hour starts in Bochum
Here, tinkering spirit meets sustainability: In the electrical workshop of bib der dinge, you will experience a lively event atmosphere where everyday devices get a second chance. On Tuesday, the repair hour opens its workbenches for anyone who wants to fix broken items with expert support – free of charge, donation-based, and with a genuine event experience.
What's it about exactly?
On Tuesdays, repair expertise is available on site: Everything with a plug is examined, discussed, and – if possible – repaired directly under guidance. Unlike a classic repair café, there is time for thorough explanations, repeated actions, and exchanges about clever solutions. This creates a public atmosphere that oscillates between curiosity, aha moments, and hands-on mentality.
Getting involved – how the organization works
If you want to work independently on projects, you must first get acquainted with the workshop. Afterwards, you can work independently during open workshop hours. For the repair hour, registration is appreciated to keep waiting times short. Consumables and replacement parts should be brought by you – if available; many items can also be found in the local inventory.
Location, access, and equipment
bib der dinge is located on Knüwerweg. Access is via Oskar-Hoffmann-Straße; parking is available at the parking lot Knüwerweg 1. In the spacious halls, structured work areas, tools, and knowledgeable contacts ensure smooth event management and safe event planning.
Why it's worth a visit
bib der dinge is more than a lending facility: It stands for circular economy, resource conservation, and communal learning in Bochum. Collaborations with city institutions and educational actors, a growing community, and media attention underscore the project's authority in repair culture and target group outreach – from beginners to experienced crafters.
Conclusion
Experience a down-to-earth workshop atmosphere instead of a throwaway mentality: Come with your broken device, learn tricks from professionals, share knowledge – and take a functioning item plus good feelings home. Admission is free, donations welcome. Reserve your spot now, register and be there live.
