The Core Idea

Wandelplatz is not a finished, pre-fabricated concept. It's an open container that 3–4 co-founders fill with their own business concepts. Everyone brings their own business – together something unique emerges.

Corinne's Contribution (Fixed Elements)

Kitchen & Cooking

• Daytime: Lunch & coffee in a relaxed atmosphere – a place to work and enjoy
• Evening: The kitchen becomes a bar with DJ slots, listening sessions, and a long table for shared meals
• Cooking Workshops: Learn to cook together, exchange recipes
• Kitchen Rental: For events, private occasions, or other food projects
• Natural Products: Sale of homemade purees and natural supplements

Health & Wellness

• Yoga Classes: Regular sessions for all levels
• Nutrition and Health Counseling: Individual counseling on healthy eating and natural lifestyle

Culture & Events (depending on possibilities)

• Readings: Literary evenings and book presentations
• Exhibitions: Showcasing works by local artists
• Home Cinema: Film evenings with discussion afterwards

These cultural offerings emerge organically, depending on the location and interests of the co-founders.

Community & Network

• Multigenerational Hub: From children (homework, learning) to seniors (sharing knowledge, companionship)
• The Large "Offers & Requests" Board: Makes the network visible – everyone can offer what they can and find what they need. This is essential to the concept!

Possible Additional Business Concepts

These are examples – you can bring your own concept! The only important thing is that the concepts fit together and the host mentality is shared.
