Three young people want to make it easier for Creative to open stores. Your approach: The few places that exist, must be consistently recorded, day and night, during the week and on the weekend.

Munich is cool. The New York Times says, at least. Because Munich has a boat on a railway bridge – so that other cities can’t offer. But the journalists are right with your view. Munich has what, more than just the MS Utting. The signalman Thiel for example. The Container Collective. Or: Soon to open between use in a former commercial complex between Laim and Westend.

Nevertheless, There is a certain degree of cultural pessimism in Munich is feel young Creatives. Because although there are many temporary places for exciting culture, they will disappear quickly again – because Munich needed in almost every fallow area as building land. Nevertheless, it could soon be more spaces for young Creatives. Daniela Weinhold, 26, Nastasia Broda, 33, and Julian at least say, Nitsche, 25. Your Approach: Double Use. The few areas there are, and must be consistently recorded, day and night, during the week and on the weekend.

Julian Nitsche, tall and blond, and Daniela Weinhold, small and dark-haired, are a design student, Nastasia Broda works as a city planner. Your project, you call the shared square. You meet on this day, in the Import/Export. Weinhold sprawled casually on a Sofa, Nitsche finished at a table for a design work on the Computer, Broda brings to the counter a piece of cheese cake. The atmosphere is casual. And while they were telling, it quickly becomes clear: The project is a matter of the heart. “There are fewer and fewer resources and we have not the expense we. Instead, we build higher, further, better,” says Broda.

The idea of shared square is simple and offers in a city like Munich, however, with some ingenuity: what is available, make optimum use of keyword in parallel uses. “We provide an Online platform for restaurateurs with existing infrastructure and land outside of the opening Hours can offer,” explains Nitsche. It was the area, the institution, or the supply paths of the store. “The cafe could be in the evening, for example, to the Bar or the bed of the house to the yoga Studio. There are almost endless combination possibilities,” he says. “We enter the Shop and restaurant owners the opportunity to rent their land to a time when this would have actually closed,” explains Weinhold. So in the evening, in the morning or during holiday periods.

the effect of A Friday evening in the West end: A street is deserted, but two of the Restaurants, all the shops are closed. It begs the question: Why are the closing surfaces to run out of cash? And, although there are in Munich, but Not to free surfaces. Although many of the young and Creative can’t implement your ideas, because you can’t find a affordable place. So why not use the free-standing areas? Exactly this question has been Weinhold in the spring of 2018, as you searched for your first Breakfast-Café Bananaleaf a suitable space. Because they did not want to operate the concept of durability, it was clear that they initially wanted to open a Pop-up Shop.

But the use of land, which were offered, were you to be sterile. “The right infrastructure in place was missing, and I wanted to spend for a temporary use project, no huge amounts of money. Then the idea came to me: Why don’t I take over easy in the morning, a Bar, otherwise only in the evening open?” So you ended up with your proposal to the owner of Nudo in the Amalienstraße: for Three months there was in the morning, their colorful Bowls and in the evening to be Slow Food with Pasta. The idea for the shared square was born. Since Winter is now in place for three months, the Pop-up Restaurant tuber and cabbage in the Westend, they are only open on weekends – you offer your meal in the Café Josefa, open in Winter only during the week.

But this idea is a solution for Munich? “The city may need every advocate for space for Creative,” says Jürgen Enninger, head of the team of cultural and creative industries of the city of Munich. Always a team of people who are looking for spaces for a creative use of sign competence. Again and again, Enninger can also offer real estate for interim use. Very up to date: The former health building at the dachauer Straße can be used for five years, the application period runs. Enninger know: cities are constantly changing, but every city invents always new. Therefore, it comes to find a niche and make it. “This is the most Impressive creative work,” he says.

“I want to solve problems in a creative way and make something that really has an Impact, something that moves me,” says Nitsche. The Designer visited the Weinholds Café once, then twice, then he came more and more often and remained in the end. “The atmosphere was great, the food was just delicious and then Daniela asked me if I wanted to participate in the Design and the concept,” says Nitsche. Broda had started to the time point at Weinhold help out. “I came from Berlin and had the feeling that I want to make something yourself. Something that is my thing,” says Broda. “And then told me Daniela from their idea and I was immediately. Also parallel uses of I didn’t have before.”

The vacancy of commercial space that exists, especially in the morning, in the evening and on Sundays, want to Weinhold, Broda and Nitsche reduce your idea to a Minimum. Throughout the quarter you want to revive again. “Basically, we want to get more colourful concepts for Munich. The people are in our imagination back to the streets and explore your neighborhood,” says Weinhold – after all, there is to make new discoveries. “The rent for an area is then divided among the users. So people can try out. The threshold, in order to make something alone, with the risks usually too big,” she explains. The hurdles are to be taken with shared square. Especially in the case of the implementation of new ideas. “There is a place for subcultures, we need to use it.”

Cool Individual has in Munich is always an expiration date, but the existing space can be used better, there may be a greater offer. Of course, If Bars like the 404 or the Awi disappear, leaving behind a gap. But perhaps what is New to power just around the corner.
