In diesem dreistündigen Workshop sind alle Interessierten dazu eingeladen, verschiedene Maker Space-Technologien kennenzulernen und auszuprobieren. Wir erklären an unterschiedlichen Terminen (s.u.), wie sich mit Laser Cutter, 3D-Drucker, Schneidplotter, Näh- oder Stickmaschine nützliche Dinge für den Alltag herstellen lassen. Inspiriert von den aktuellen Ausstellungen und Themen des Hauses, können am Laptop mit der Software Inkscape oder Tinkercad eigene Grafiken und Objekte entworfen und gestaltet werden. Wer sich geschickt anstellt, kann am Ende ein fertiges Produkt mit nach Hause nehmen. Bitte beachten Sie die Aufteilung der beiden monatlichen MeetUps in einen Termin für Teilnehmende ohne bzw. mit nur geringen Vorkenntnissen und einen Termin für Fortgeschrittene, die bereits mehrfach am MeetUp teilgenommen haben bzw. mit Geräten und Software vertraut sind.

Egotistical: English Stand Up Comedy with Tera Kilbride!
Fri, Aug 28, 7:00 PMEgo, love, politics… what do they all have in common? Absolutely everything — and somehow, it’s still your family’s fault. Egotistical is a cheeky, sharp-tongued dive into the glorious mess of egos (yes, including mine), the delicate delusions we call love, and the world leaders who treat entire countries like their personal dumping ground. From childhood moments that quietly deflated our sense of self to distorted adult relationships — this show connects the dots between growing up, blowing up, and occasionally ruining everything. It’s about how we learned to love… badly. How we learned to lead… worse. And how, deep down, we’re all just overconfident children with Wi-Fi and unresolved issues. Come for the laughs, stay for the uncomfortable realizations — and maybe call your parents after. Or don’t. Stand up Comedy. Tera looks back at her Not-so-all-american family life (pyramid schemes, school sh\*\*tings, growing up with a jesus-loving-liberal-mother, and a con-artist step father) how that affects her relationships (failures in love) and of course - the downfall of one of the greatest short-lived nations of our times - the USA. NEW JOKES + Classic Jokes. Work in progress. [BOOK HERE ](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/egotistical-english-stand-up-comedy-with-tera-kilbride-tickets-1990683132838) WILL THE SHOW BE ANY GOOD?

Evening Walking Tour: Phones, Telegraphs and Letters around Berlin Mitte
Fri, Sep 4, 4:00 PM**Evening Walking Tour: Phones, Telegraphs and Letters around Berlin Mitte** **Theme:** Walking Tour + Communications + Industrial Heritage + Beer **Meet Time:** 18:00 **Meet Place:** Hackeshermarkt outside starbucks **Suggested Contribution:** €5 Join me on an evening historical walk through Berlin's communications district, exploring how messages, money, news and information moved around the city long before the internet. **The plan:** We'll grab a *Wegbier* and explore one of the most remarkable concentrations of communications infrastructure in Berlin-Mitte. Within just a few streets we'll encounter telegraph offices, telephone exchanges, postal infrastructure, pneumatic tubes, electrical systems and the institutions that helped connect Berlin to the rest of the world. We'll finish with a beer together at the Dieselhaus, surrounded by the remains of Berlin's old communications infrastructure. Berlin's rise as a modern metropolis depended on more than factories and railways. It also needed a way to communicate. Telegraph wires, telephone cables, pneumatic tubes, postal carriages and electrical networks created a new nervous system for the growing city. And remarkably, much of that nervous system is still visible around Oranienburger Straße. The enormous Haupttelegrafenamt was one of Europe's most powerful telecommunications centres. It also housed Berlin's central pneumatic-post facility, which remained in operation until 1977. From here, messages could travel rapidly across Berlin and beyond, while the building was also involved in the development of radio communications. Just around the corner is the extraordinary Postfuhramt. Built in 1875–81, it was far more than a place for horses and postal wagons. It contained a telegraph engineering office, a telephone exchange, a post and telegraph school and machinery for Berlin's pneumatic-post system. Its surviving boiler and machine house provide a glimpse into the technology that powered the communications network. We'll then explore the Fernsprechamt Berlin Nord, an imposing 1920s expressionist building created as Berlin's telephone network expanded rapidly and moved from human operators towards automatic switching. Alongside it stands the former Institut für Post- und Fernmeldewesen, built in 1958–63 for the East German Deutsche Post—a fascinating reminder that the communications infrastructure of Berlin continued to evolve through the division of the city. Finally, we'll look at the electrical infrastructure that made all of this possible, including the Umspannwerk Koppenplatz, before finishing at the Dieselhaus. If you like history, want to discover more about Berlin beyond the usual stories of the Nazis and the Cold War, and would like to take part in a sociable evening of exploration and discussion, come along. I am an accredited tour guide in Berlin, specialising in telling stories about the city's industrial heritage. I charge a small fee of €5 to organise the tour and share my knowledge. Highlights 📡 Discover the enormous Haupttelegrafenamt and learn how Berlin became one of Europe's great telecommunications centres 📨 Explore the Postfuhramt, where postal transport, telegraphy, telephones and pneumatic post all came together 💨 Discover the extraordinary story of Berlin's Rohrpost, which carried messages through tubes beneath the city ☎️ Visit the former Fernsprechamt Berlin Nord and discover how Berlin's telephone network moved from manual operators to automatic switching 🏛️ See the Institut für Post- und Fernmeldewesen and discover how telecommunications developed in East Germany 📻 Learn how Berlin's telegraph network became connected to the emerging world of radio communication ⚡ Explore the Umspannwerk Koppenplatz and discover why communications networks depended on reliable electricity 🏭 Discover the Dieselhaus, where emergency power helped keep the communications system running 🔌 Learn how electricity and communications became increasingly interconnected 📖 Hear stories of telegraph operators, telephone workers, postal employees, engineers and the people who built Berlin's communications networks 🏙️ Explore how communications infrastructure helped transform Berlin into a modern metropolis 📸 Enjoy fantastic photography opportunities among some of Mitte's most unusual industrial and institutional architecture 🍺 Finish with a relaxed drink together at the Dieselhaus I estimate the walk will take around 2½ hours, including plenty of stops for stories, photographs and discussion. It should make for a fascinating Friday evening exploring a side of Berlin that is hiding in plain sight: the infrastructure that allowed a modern city to talk to itself—and to the rest of the world. Hope to see you there! Simon
Let’s Play Backgammon! - Play, Socialize & Have Fun
Sun, Aug 23, 12:00 PMJoin our Backgammon Meetup to play, socialize, and enjoy this classic game! Everyone’s welcome! Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player. Expect fun, friendly games, laughter, and new friends. With the nice weather and the beautiful lakeside setting, it’s a perfect place to enjoy a few games and spend time together. Hopefully we can make the most of a sunny summer afternoon! ☀️🎲⛲️🍻🌳 👉 Please RSVP only if you plan to attend. 👉 Bring your own set if you have one. **How to Play (Quick Guide):** - Each player has 15 checkers and moves them toward their home board. - Dice rolls decide how many spaces you can move. - Land on an opponent’s single checker to send it to the bar. - Once all your checkers are home, start bearing off (removing them). - First to remove all checkers wins! **Fun Fact:** The Origin of Backgammon: Backgammon is one of the oldest known board games, with roots deeply embedded in the ancient civilisations of Mesopotamia. But it is in Persia, where the game truly flourished and evolved into what we now know as 'Takhte Nard'. Archaeological findings suggest that early forms of backgammon were played in Iran over 5,000 years ago. Artifacts such as game boards and dice have been discovered in sites like 'Shahr-e Sukhteh' (The Burnt City), indicating the game’s ancient origins.
