#Austria: What are #Vienna’s #RepairCafés and how can you find them?

by Amanda Previdelli - 17 Feb, 2025

"Across Vienna, residents are finding ways to extend the life of everyday items rather than throwing them away. One of the most practical initiatives is the Repair Café.

"Hosted at 48er-Tandler Margareten, these events offer people a chance to fix broken appliances and mend clothing for free. More than just a money-saving opportunity, they’re part of a growing effort to reduce waste and promote a culture of repair over replacement.

How to participate

"Advance registration is required for electrical repairs, and spots tend to fill up quickly. However, textile repairs do not require registration; participants can simply show up with their items.

"Registration details and availability can be found on the 48er-Tandler website.

When and where are Repair Cafés held?

"The Repair Cafés take place at 48er-Tandler Margareten, located at Siebenbrunnenfeldgasse 3, 1050 Vienna. In 2025, six events are scheduled, with upcoming dates including:

- Wednesday, 24 April 2025
- Wednesday, 26 June 2025
- Additional dates in August, November, and December

All events run from 14:00 to 18:00."
