Repair Café in Augsburg: Repair together instead of throwing away

On Saturday, October 17, 2026, Habitat by the Glass Palace will become a meeting point for all those who want to give their broken favorite items a second chance. From 12:00 to 17:00, the Repair Café combines practical help, sustainable action, and an open event atmosphere.

Workshop feel, expertise, and collaborative tinkering

Visitors bring their personal items and work together with volunteer repair experts to find out the cause of the problem. Support is available for electronics, wood, small furniture, bicycles, textiles, metal, and various household items. Tools and materials are available on-site.

Help for self-help at Habitat

The Repair Café focuses on learning together instead of quick disposal. Amateurs and experienced tinkerers work side by side at the workbench, sharing knowledge and developing practical solutions. This creates an event experience with visible added value: resources are conserved, items remain usable longer, and repair knowledge is passed on.

Relaxed atmosphere with coffee and cake

Amidst tools, conversations, and concentrated troubleshooting, there is time for coffee and cake. The audience's mood is open, calm, and helpful. The format is suitable for people with practical experience as well as for beginners who want to expand their own repair skills.

Sustainable organization with awards

The event is organized by the non-profit association Das Habitat Augsburg e. V., which operates an open workshop and a makerspace at the Glass Palace. Habitat is a member of the FabCity network and was awarded the ROY in 2026 in the sustainability category. The Repair Café is funded by the Bavarian State Ministry for the Environment and Consumer Protection.

Conclusion: A meaningful Saturday in Augsburg

The Repair Café at Habitat combines practical support, sustainability, and encounters. Those who want to save a broken device, a small piece of furniture, or another personal item will experience repair culture right at the workbench. Just bring the item, look for a solution together, and experience Augsburg's sustainable event live.
