Sustainable repairs instead of throwing away: The Repair Café at ZAM
At the Repair Café at ZAM, craftsmanship, practical help, and lived sustainability come together. On September 10, 2026, visitors in Erlangen can bring broken everyday items and search for solutions together.
When devices, toys, and household helpers get a second chance
Whether electrical and electronic devices, mechanical helpers, everyday items, household appliances, or toys: The Repair Café welcomes anything that is broken and can still be rescued. The concept thrives on a mix of experience, improvisation, and calm teamwork. This creates an event experience that sounds more like community and less like consumption.
Handwork with meaning and atmosphere
Entering ZAM, one experiences an open workshop atmosphere focused on exchange and practical support. The mood among the audience is characterized by curiosity, patience, and the good feeling of not having to buy everything new right away. This aligns with the idea behind the Repair Café: conserving resources, sharing knowledge, and using items longer.
Why the Repair Café fits so well in Erlangen
Erlangen stands for innovation, education, and an active city society. The Repair Café complements this strength with a very practical approach to event management: low-threshold participation, open access, and clear benefits for visitors. Anyone bringing a technical problem not only receives help but often also gets a glimpse behind the scenes of repairing.
A place with workshop character and good accessibility
The ZAM - Center for Exchange and Making is located centrally on Hauptstraße and is known as a creative place for workshops, projects, and open formats. According to ZAM, the building is currently accessible without barriers, except for the metal workshop; elevators and accessible toilets are available. For transportation, the combination of a downtown location and public transportation is also recommended in Erlangen.
Conclusion: An appointment for all who want to keep things instead of replacing them
The Repair Café promises a practical, friendly, and useful afternoon focused on repair, exchange, and sustainability. Anyone wanting to save a broken favorite piece or simply experience the special workshop feel should attend the event live at ZAM.
