Repair instead of throwing away: The Repair Cafe brings Bochum together
On July 27, 2026, the Sustainability Center at Kortumstraße 93 will become a meeting point for all who want to give defective items a new life. The Repair Cafe for electronics and textiles focuses on communal repair - practical, sustainable, and right in the heart of Bochum.
An afternoon with tools, knowledge, and good vibes
This is not about casual consumption, but about a real event experience with meaning: Volunteers help to examine portable items, electrical devices, and textiles together. The atmosphere is open, tangible, and approachable - exactly the mix that makes a repair service a lively participatory format.
Sustainability you can touch
The Sustainability Center sees itself as a place for ideas, conversations, and concrete solutions. This fits perfectly with the Repair Cafe: Those who do not immediately replace broken items, but repair them, save resources and experience sustainability directly. The room concept around Kortumstraße 93 is precisely based on this mix of workbench, exchange, and everyday knowledge.
Organization and process
The format is designed to be low-threshold and invites everyone to just drop by. According to Bochum Tourism, the basic rule is that everything that can be carried without help from others will be checked. This service is aimed at people who do not want to solve small and larger everyday problems alone, but rather want to tackle them together with others.
Location with central position and barrier-free access
The Sustainability Center is located in the middle of Bochum's city center. There is a side entrance that allows for barrier-free access. This makes the event accessible for many target groups - from a visit to the city center to a focused stop while traversing the city.
Conclusion: An event for all who want to keep things instead of replacing them
The Repair Cafe for Electronics and Textiles combines sustainability, volunteerism, and practical help into a likable format with added value. Anyone interested in participation, exchange, and tangible solutions should experience this event live.
