Sustainability in everyday life: Help for self-help

The Reparier-Café Jena sends a clear signal against the modern throwaway society. Whether it is striking coffee machines, damaged bicycles, or torn favorite items of clothing – the entire concept is based on the principle of help for self-help. Visitors bring their defective items and actively repair them together with expert volunteer helpers. This not only saves the household budget but also protects the climate by saving valuable resources and avoiding unnecessary waste.

In addition to the manual focus, social interaction is at the forefront. The café offers space to talk to one another, exchange experiences, and pass on practical knowledge.
