+Today, the Regional Court of Stuttgart issued a judgment against us in the [trademark dispute](/kleines-update-zum-markenrechtsstreit/) brought forward against us by the city of Ulm.
+Unfortunately, the court ruled in favor of the city on all points 😔
+
+We have not yet been able to review the detailed judgment with our lawyer, so we do not yet know how the legal dispute will continue over the next few days.
+
+Overall, however, we believe that the ruling sends a very clear and problematic signal to digital volunteering in Germany. In most cases, communities like ours are interested in clever technical solutions and objectives, and therefore work quickly on different projects instead of directly establishing legal structures (such as an e.V.). The “Stadtlabor” project in Ulm was originally intended for this type of involvement. How should a community like ours behave in the future in order to avoid the risk of its voluntary services being appropriated by (financially or politically) more powerful sponsors?
+
+There will certainly be more opportunities to ask and answer these and similar questions in discussions over the next few days. At the moment, we are a bit exhausted from the day, and if you need to read more, we can only refer you to our [Twitter](hhttps://twitter.com/temporaerhaus/status/1650519601548075012) thread on the topic, as well as [first](hhttps://www.stuttgarter-zeitung.de/inhalt.landgericht-stuttgart-stadt-ulm-siegt-im-verschwoerhaus-streit.aaa5b297-03c6-4b9d-8a42-7a0b1f74df61.html) [articles](https://netzpolitik.org/2023/hackspace-in-ulm-verschwoerhaus-verliert-seinen-namen-an-die-stadt/) on the more detailed reasons for the judgment.
+
+In the short or long term—and depending on what comes out of the consultation with our lawyer—we may have to give up our name and, for example, shut down or rename this website, our social media accounts and our association.
+
+Only one thing is certain so far: as a community, we will continue to work together on digitalization issues and promote and demand the self-determined development of our civil society. Last but not least, your great support so far encourages us to continue in this direction, and we will of course continue to accept donations via [our donation form](/spenden/) as long as it is still possible here 😊
+
+More updates will follow, hopefully very soon!

+title: A new house! We're moving to Neu-Ulm together
+author: Temporärhaus

+
+Now it's public: [„Haus der Nachhaltigkeit“](https://h-d-n.org) and our volunteer group which was formerly active at Weinhof move into [the former Sport-Sohn headquarters in Augsburger Straße in Neu-Ulm.](https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=48.39637&mlon=10.00209#map=19/48.39637/10.00209) On May 3, we received the keys to the premises from the Munk company, and we would like to open the doors to the public as soon as possible. Since last summer, we have been longing to offer our usual, regular program for the interested public again. Through the partnership of our groups, we can expand our offerings beyond what we could do on our own!
+
+### Two groups that go well together
+
+Our two associations had already been loosely connected in the past through personal acquaintances and mutual visits. As we were both looking for a suitable place to stay, Neu-Ulm city councilwoman Christina Richtmann gave us the impulse to give it a try together and put us in touch with local real estate developer Munk. “It's a great match,” we quickly agreed. Our two groups want to make it possible to experience today how we can shape a better future ourselves.
+
+For example, Haus der Nachhaltigkeit will set up a borrowing shop on the premises. Anyone who needs tools, gardening equipment or catering equipment can borrow them there—instead of buying things that are only used a few times a year. Reduced resource consumption and social aspects are also the focus of the repair workshop for large electrical appliances “repair4U”, the winner of the Berblinger Contest 2022. The two initiatives are now also working together on these points. The two groups therefore spent several months developing a usage concept and, following mediation by Richtmann, drew up a rental agreement with the Munk company.
+
+### An open house by civil society for civil society
+
+![](/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/neuhaus-chill.jpg)
+
+After all, it's not far from the repair workshop to our electronics lab equipment. From the open wood workshop to the sensor network meeting, from the sewing café to the Wikipedia beginners' workshop, we see a lot of overlap in our programs. After all, it's always about self-efficacy. Experiencing first-hand how we can work together towards a better future. And for almost a year now, our diverse inventory has been waiting to be used again by as many people as possible. Last year, the city of Ulm asked us volunteers to leave the rooms we had been using at the Weinhof since 2016. The inventory we have built up over the years has been stored since then. In future, 3D printers, laser cutters, sewing machines and tools will once again fill the workshops and the event technology will be used for lectures and livestreams by our two groups.
+
+### Eight weeks of renovation sprint
+![](/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/neuhaus-klo.jpg)
+
+To make this possible, we will first invest a lot of volunteer time for construction and organizational measures. Much of the necessary work will be carried out in a joint volunteer effort, especially over the next eight weeks. We want to fill the rooms as quickly as possible with a wide range of offers for the public—with the program offered voluntarily at the Weinhof until summer 2022, with the offers of Haus der Nachhaltigkeit, and of course we are particularly excited to see what new things will emerge together that we have not yet had on our radar. That is why the first offers are to start in parallel with the ongoing construction and refurbishment work as soon as the city of Neu-Ulm has granted the necessary official approvals.
+
+### Sponsoring memberships and support possible
+
+The rental agreement is initially for two years, with an option to extend—as long as the building is still standing. The Munk company was very accommodating to our two groups with the rent, which and the necessary building materials will be paid for by our associations from donations, sponsorship money and membership fees, and we are looking for further support. Whether [sponsoring memberships, financial donations](/spenden/), tradesmen's services or active support with the renovation—everything will help us in the coming weeks and months to make the building attractive and accessible to the public.
+
+Nevertheless, then as now, no one has to be a member of either association to take part in programs or offer them themselves. Our programs in Neu-Ulm will continue to be as open as they were at the Weinhof.
+
+We look forward to seeing you!

+title: The renovation is progressing—and you can help us!

+We're not even getting around to posting all the numerous construction and furnishing progresses—the renovation work is progressing at lightning speed so that we can open our doors for the first public events as soon as possible. Together with Haus der Nachhaltigkeit, we are installing drywall, painting the existing walls, ensuring the greatest possible accessibility and furnishing the parts that are already ready for occupancy.
+
+The good news is that, in addition to our know-how, we also have a lot of material that will enable us to offer you the basic, familiar program again relatively quickly. So far, we have also been able to cover a good proportion of the renovation costs from our membership fees.
+
+Nevertheless, there are some points where you can help us—and since there have been repeated requests for how you can currently support us, we would like to list them here!
+
+### Supporting membership for long-term planning security
+
+![Three people stand/sit in front of an almost completely set-up soldering laboratory, consisting of large laboratory tables with individual workstations and lots of electronic equipment](/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/lötlabor.png "Electronics workshop in the new Hausi")
+
+The more members and supporters with predictable financial contributions we have, the more solidly we can plan upcoming purchases. [Every single membership gives us a little more leeway and long-term independence.](/verein/#f%C3%B6rdermitgliedschaft) Only with a broad membership base can we bridge phases without external funding, for example. If you don't want to become a sustaining member right away, a [permanent donation via Betterplace](/spenden/) is also an option—with a sustaining membership, however, your contribution ends up with us without any deductions and can be used for our offers.
+
+Of course, memberships and sponsorships from companies and institutions are also welcome—[please contact us,](/verein/#f%C3%B6rdermitgliedschaft) if you have any ideas! We are a non-profit (gemeinnützig) organization, which means that all contributions and donations are tax-deductible.
+
+### Individual donations for missing equipment
+
+![Wood workshop being set up, with workbench and unfinished sliding table saw](/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/holzwerkstatt.jpg "Construction in the new wood workshop")
+
+We also have good news about equipment and facilities: in 2021, before the dispute with the city began, we had [obtained funding from the DSEE](/f%C3%B6rderung-der-deutschen-stiftung-f%C3%BCr-engagement-und-ehrenamt-dsee/) and were able to acquire a lot of equipment that now exclusively belongs to us. Nevertheless, after we were kicked out, we unfortunately had to leave behind some great equipment that we had selected and maintained, but which had been paid for by the city. In particular, a sliding table saw, a jointer and thickness planer and two band saws are now waiting [for 1.5 years](/verschwoerhaus-darf-oeffnen-ohne-holzwerkstatt/) in the former wood workshop at the Weinhof for the reopening promised by the city. Above all, they can no longer be offered by us during our workshop hours.
+
+We have since been able to fill some of these gaps in our range with donations in kind: We now have [another laser cutter that is practically equivalent to the old one](/neues-jahr-neues-hausi/), and our friends from Haus der Nachhaltigkeit have organized a beautiful old workbench and a circular saw, both of which we are currently refurbishing 🫶
+
+![Person stands grinning and with thumbs up in front of the freshly set up makeblock laser cutter](/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/lasercutter.png "New laser cutter")
+
+However, we are still sorely missing some machines: a plunge saw for large wooden panels, an industrial vacuum cleaner for the workshop and a compressor, for example. For the necessary safety and fire protection requirements, we also need CO2 extinguishers for the laser cutter again and need to have the extinguishers still in the new building refurbished and brought up to code. Small items such as first aid kits and fire safety signs also cost money.
+
+### Support
+
+If you would like to support us, there are several ways to do so: For new purchases, we have created [corresponding budgets for individual donations on Betterplace](https://www.betterplace.org/de/projects/85727-das-temporaerhaus-gestaltet-selbstbestimmte-stadtentwicklung-mit). We will cover part of these requirements with donations from our members, for whom this facility is very important, and deposit the amounts paid in this way on Betterplace.
+Donations in kind also help us. The expensive thing about first aid kits is not the material, but the first aid kit with wall bracket—and if you or your company would have thrown something like this out anyway, [feel free to contact us!](/kontakt/)
+
+Last but not least, we would like to thank you once again for all the support and encouragement we have already received from so many of you—even from unexpected quarters. Your support has kept us going throughout the legal dispute and motivates us to now join forces and enjoy our work to turn the former Sport-Sohn building into a great space by civil society for civil society <3

 The last few years have been very turbulent. A pandemic, a [lawsuit](/urteil-im-markenrechtsstreit/), the [search for a new house](/das-verschw%C3%B6rhaus-ist-ausgezogen-die-r%C3%A4ume-am-weinhof-sind-nun-leer/) and the [renaming of the community and e.V. to temporärhaus](/stellungnahme-und-ausblick-zum-urteil-im-markenrechtsstreit/) have kept us all on our toes. But now the time has finally come: on Saturday, 16th of September, we will open the doors of our new house in Neu-Ulm for the first time for the Kulturnacht (culture night), a house that we have been preparing together with the [Haus der Nachhaltigkeit](https://www.h-d-n.org) (HdN) since May and which we will now finally open together! 🥳
 
 We have already teased a few first impressions of the renovation phase on social media and our [website](/der-umbau-geht-voran--und-du-kannst-uns-helfen/). Now that the renovation is largely complete, everything looks even more colourful, bigger, and more beautiful! 🤩

+Once again, we are returning to the roots from which we grew: The datalove university group (also known as UlmAPI) was the nucleus officially recognized by the student council in 2011, from which, among other things, the first Jugend hackt in Ulm emerged in 2015—and then the idea for a third place in the city. The rest, as they say, is history.
+
+![Hands-on: A 3D printer and a Pong console built in our workshop that can be operated with a turntable controller.](/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/uniforum_exponate.jpg)
+
+But we have never forgotten the university. That's why we're at the Uniforum today [not just digitally](https://stuve.uni-ulm.de/aktuelles/veranstaltungen/digitales-uniforum/freizeit-unterhaltung-und-netzwerk#c3143), but also to talk to and with exhibits to try out. We are very pleased that we are once again receiving a lot of interest from students, especially in the last few semesters, who are active at temporärhaus and enliven the datalove university group.
+
+In addition to many links, for example to the university group for sustainability through our sewing café, the topic of mobility data naturally remains a popular perennial topic. And so today we are exhibiting a 3D printer, a Pong console made in the workshop and a Matelight as well as a best of the real-time public transport displays created at the university. That's where we came from, among other things—yet another back to the roots ;)

+May we introduce? These cuties are three of six new additions to the university group for sustainability and the sewing café crew. The sewing café started again on October 9th and that's why we need lots of well-functioning machines for everyone who wants to take part!
+
+The Pfaff Hobbymatik 801 is now free of dirt and lint, freshly oiled and purring like a kitten! It can straight stitch and zigzag and is guaranteed to get through many layers of jeans.
+
+![The Kayser sewing machine needed a little more love](/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/naehmaschine-kayser.jpg)
+
+The Kayser 45 (or Janome-1 as it says inside its cast iron case) was unfortunately not so well, something was grinding a lot and the needle hit the metal of the hook at the bottom (the mechanism of the lower thread). A perfect opportunity to learn how to adjust after cleaning. After changing the height of the needle bar, changing when the hook turns—with a lot of trial and error, and lo and behold, it works again! But then the mechanics of the feed dog were misaligned—oops, the Kayser remains a construction site for the time being.
+
+![An Adlerette 420 (no pun intended) from the 1960s, apparently originally purchased from Jehle.)](/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/naehmaschine-adlerette.jpg)
+
+And the Adlerette also got a major overhaul. The nameplate says 420, which according to [sewing machine directory](https://www.naehmaschinenverzeichnis.de/) means it is a good 60 years old. It also says that the old plastic gears are often a source of problems. Fortunately, the gearwheel on our machine was intact. So we had to clean all the lubrication points, re-tension the V-belt, oil everything and reassemble it ([photo story on Mastodon](https://chaos.social/@juka/111281417845989740)).
+
+![For years it was resinous and sick, now it is sewing again, thank goodness!)](/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/naehmaschine-adlerette2.jpg)
+
+And now she is sewing really well again, even through four layers of jeans! So we are now perfectly prepared for the next sewing café on Monday, November 6 :)
