Repair Café
Repair cafés: new life for old objects
Repair Cafés offer a unique opportunity to repair broken items instead of throwing them away. Here, Cologne residents can work together with volunteer experts to repair broken household items, clothing, furniture, electrical appliances, bicycles and toys. The aim is to extend the lifespan of everyday objects and thus avoid waste.
