Repair instead of throw away: The Bochum Repair Café makes things right again

On Friday, July 10, 2026, the StadtTeilLaden Grumme transforms into a lively workshop. At the Repair Café, neighbors meet experienced tinkerers to repair broken everyday items together in a cozy atmosphere with coffee and cake – free, open, sustainable.

Working together: Workbench instead of garbage can

The event atmosphere is focused and warm: screwdrivers click, solder shines, and the mood among the audience is characterized by curiosity and willingness to help. Under the guidance of volunteer experts, a unique event experience emerges that shares knowledge and conserves resources.

This is how it works on-site

Just drop by; no registration is necessary. Basic rule of the event planning: Everything that can be carried without third-party assistance will be checked. From toaster to floor lamp – it's all about self-help. The organization focuses on sensible target group communication: beginners learn the basics, and skilled participants deepen their know-how.

Sustainability with impact

Repair Cafés stand for lived event management in the neighborhood. In Bochum-Grumme, the association Leben im Stadtteil e.V. has been committed to neighborhood projects for years. Experience from recent events shows: A large part of the devices brought along gets a second chance – a strong signal against throwaway mentality.
