Creating NEBourhoods Together

January 2024: UnternehmerTUM in Neuperlach: At the beginning of January, we celebrated the official opening of the NEBourhoods Pavilion in the heart of Neuperlach. Following the opening of our UnternehmerTUM MakerSpace GmbH container last summer, this is the second installation in Neuperlach.

The NEBourhoods Pavilion is part of ‘Creating NEBourhoods Together’, the EU lighthouse project for the ‘New European Bauhaus’. The pavilion in Neuperlach at Theodor-Heuss-Platz will be open until the end of January 2025. It will serve as an innovation demonstrator, gallery and workshop space for project activities and beyond.

The opening was characterised by motivation and enthusiasm for change. Numerous citizens and key stakeholders from Neuperlach were present and shared their experiences of working together on the NEBourhoods project over the past year.

Once again, the importance of entrepreneurship for urban development was emphasised. In the spirit of the New European Bauhaus, we should work together to tackle the challenges of our time. This is exactly what we are doing in the NEBourhoods project - by supporting each individual to shape their neighbourhood together.

The NEBourhoods Pavilion is an excellent example of this. With the help of one of our founding partners, the City of Munich, in particular Elisabeth Merk, we were able to build the pavilion and now offer added value to the community in Neuperlach.

The modular timber construction is a flexible and sustainable building system developed by Timo Weil's start-up WEON. The construction is foldable, making it easy to transport and adaptable to different space requirements. The pavilion stands on stilts and individual modules can be changed, extended, combined, dismantled and customised inside and out at any time.
