Viertel vor Acht – auf dem Weg zur Arbeit – Hausflur.

Frau Müller fragt dich beim Vorbeigehen, wie deine Prüfung letzte Woche lief und verspricht dir ein Stück Kuchen vom Geburtstag ihres Neffen. Auf dem Teller, auf dem du ihr vorgestern ein Stück Quiche vor die Tür gestellt hast. Das gibt’s nur in süddeutschen Käffern mit 60 Einwohnern? Stimmt nicht.

Nachbarschaftlichkeit geht überall. Und weil wir es lieben, Menschen kennenzulernen und zusammenzubringen, haben wir kurzerhand eine Aktion zum bundesweiten Tag der Nachbarn am 25. Mai in unserem Kiez gestartet.

In unserer Interviewreihe “Im netzWERK” stellen wir euch talentierte Menschen vor, die uns mit ihren Arbeiten begeistern und inspirieren. Heute: Grafikdesignerin Mareen Feuerriegel.

Somehow that notion of a weekly review really is silly. I mean, let’s face it: our last blog post was published towards the beginning of autumn. Autumn! Colorful leaves and so on. Today – after multiple cases of the flu, scarlet fever, frost bite and countless lemon ginger teas – the first signs of spring are beckoning. So here comes our quarterly juggle-report!

Stop! Don’t go anywhere! I promise to keep it brief. And besides, really great things are happening – but fine, if you don’t want to read on…

Oh, you’re still here – time-tested mommy strategy (Ok, then Mommy will do it all alone…) works every time!

New team offices at juggleHUB

Speaking of alone. Being alone at juggleHUB is becoming more difficult every day. Since the beginning of the year our space has noticably filled up. We have lots of new faces – some are still on their trial month, others dove right into a membership. Like Lydia and her two colleagues who booked three fixed desks.

And in early January we also welcomed our first start-up team – the boys and girls from Oolipo.

Yes, it still exists, our written week-in-review. For the past few weeks we switched to the spoken version, since that just seemed more appropriate. We stood in constant exchange with supporters and new people that were interested in the juggleHUB and were happy to explain and inform: „How long have you been open now?”, „How did the idea come about?” or just „What’s new at juggleHUB?“ In the future we’ll just say: Read the blog, man! No, of course not, but for those of you that have not (yet) come by we want to share a brief retrospect.

The soft opening

So, back to the question “How long have you been open now?” Exactly one month! On Monday, June 13, we opened our doors to the public for the first time and waited to see what would happen. And something happened – how exciting!
