PARK(ing) day 2026 at the auto-culture-workshop: a parking space becomes an open workshop
On Friday, September 18, 2026, the auto-culture-workshop in Bielefeld will transform into a lively place for exchange, creativity, and urban space ideas for three hours. Under the title PARKplatz as an Open Workshop, the akw invites you to rethink the parking lot outside the door as part of PARK(ing) day 2026 and to experience the event firsthand.
A place that sounds, smells, and feels different
Those who pass by will not encounter a usual car area, but rather a small urban experiment. The event focuses on an open atmosphere, community, and culture in public space. The emphasis is on how areas in the city can be used more meaningfully, socially, and creatively. This creates a special audience atmosphere: informal, curious, and engaged.
The auto-culture-workshop as a stage for ideas
The auto-culture-workshop is known as a small cultural venue in Bielefeld, particularly suitable for formats with close proximity to the audience. According to venue information, the space offers around 120 square meters, a small stage, kitchen, Wi-Fi, projector, as well as sound and lighting equipment. There is also a green courtyard with tables and chairs. This creates ideal conditions for an open workshop with exchange, conversations, and spontaneous encounters.
What visitors can expect
The event starts at 5:00 PM and runs until 8:00 PM. The official program announcement mentions a reopening with nettle tea and parking cookies. There is also an invitation to collaboratively consider what can be done with and from a parking space. This makes the event exciting for anyone interested in urban culture, participatory formats, sustainable use of open spaces, and creative event planning.
Travel, access, and practical information
The address of the auto-culture-workshop is Teichstraße 32 in 33615 Bielefeld. The venue recommends arriving without a car or using the parking garage on Jöllenbecker Straße. The public transport connection is good: the city rail stops Siegfriedplatz, Wittekindstraße, and Hauptbahnhof are within walking distance, as well as the bus line 25/26 at Friedrichstraße. According to space data, there are parking options in a garage about two minutes away; the train station is about a ten-minute walk.
Conclusion: A small event with a big impact
PARKplatz as an Open Workshop connects culture, urban development, and encounter in a compact space. Those who want to experience how a seemingly normal area becomes a vibrant place for ideas should not miss this evening. A short event, a strong theme, and a clear invitation: come by, think along, experience.
