Repair together instead of throwing away: The Repair Café in Habitat
At Habitat near the Glass Palace, on June 20, 2026, people will come together to screw, check, and fix their items. The Repair Café brings together people who want to give their broken favorite items a second chance - from electronics to textiles to small furniture.
A meeting point for smart repairs and good conversations
The format thrives on a special event atmosphere: those who come with a broken item meet voluntary experts, tools, materials, and an audience mood characterized by curiosity and willingness to help. Between coffee, cakes, and cookies, an event experience is created that feels practical, approachable, and sustainable.
This is how the Repair Café operates in the daily life of the Open Workshop
The Habitat is established as a makerspace and open workshop, combining event management with lived sustainability. During the Repair Café, private objects are jointly examined and, if possible, repaired on the spot. The offerings include wood and small furniture, bicycles, textiles, metal, electronics, and electrical devices. Per visit, the rule is: bring a maximum of two items.
Sustainable, communal, and surprisingly diverse
The Repair Café stands for resource conservation, knowledge exchange, and a clear target audience for all those who prefer to keep rather than replace. Those who participate experience not only practical support but also a piece of lived neighborhood culture. This is what makes the format in Habitat so special: it is not an anonymous repair service but an open participatory offer with real community character.

The event takes place at Habitat near the Glass Palace in Augsburg. Registration is not necessary for regular dates.

Conclusion: The Repair Café in Habitat offers a strong mix of sustainability, craft, and encounters. Anyone wanting to experience repair culture live, avoid waste, and save their favorite item should not miss this date.
