Sustainable offering with repairs, 3D printing and social interaction
Under the motto "Repair instead of discard," the Repair Café in the Eberstadt district of Darmstadt is once again inviting people to participate. The initiative will open its doors on Saturday, May 9, 2026, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
The event takes place at Werkhof Darmstadt eV, where volunteer helpers repair defective everyday objects together with the visitors.
Help with repairs and new technology to try out
Whether it's household appliances, clothing, small furniture, or bicycles – experts, tools, and materials are available for numerous repairs. The goal is to conserve resources, avoid waste, and promote sustainable practices in everyday life.
Additionally, 3D printing technology will be presented again this year. Those interested will gain insights into the functionality and practical application of modern printing processes.
Local food and community
The event is supported by the initiative Foodsharing Darmstadt eV, which provides rescued food. Cake, drinks, and open conversation also contribute to a relaxed atmosphere.
The repair café consciously sees itself as a meeting place for people from different backgrounds and strengthens neighborly relations in the district.
Cooperation and commitment
The offer is organized in cooperation with the Eberstadt Senior Network, the City of Science Darmstadt, the Werkhof Darmstadt eV and the Caritas Center Eberstadt South.
Donations to support the project are welcome. Volunteers are also still needed.
