SPACE - a hacker and maker space in Ilmenau

SPACE is a sub-group of Kulturelle Koordinierung e.V. and Chaostreff of the CCC. We offer space for people interested in technology and fixing stuff from Ilmenau, the surrounding area and beyond.

Our premises are located on the grounds of the Schülerfreizeitzentrums (SFZ) in Ilmenau. Here we use a ~10m² room, which we have equipped with tools in a small workbench corner, measuring devices on an electronics craft table, a 3D printer and a large meeting table.

If you need help with repairing something, always wanted to install Linux, or just to meet people to hang out and chat about electronics and stuff feel free to drop by or write us on one of our channels! :)

We meet every Wednesday from 7 pm for -Open SPACE- and once a month for the Orgatreff (for bigger projects). In addition to our regular meetings, we also offer technic afternoons and soldering courses for SFZ student groups.

You are welcome to join in and contribute your own ideas.
