The sun is shining, the lilacs are in bloom, the KIOSK is open. A quince-yellow brick building, the so-called “Gelbklinker” at Bullerdeich 6-8 in the Hammerbrook district, stood empty for a long time. On its west side there is a former gatekeeper’s cottage measuring around 50 square meters. This small room connects the entrance gate to the street with the PARKS site. With windows on three sides of the room, it creates direct communication between the interior and exterior of the old recycling center. A perfect place for encounters. After a pilot phase in 2023 and a great summer in 2024, the KIOSK will reopen on 24.05.2025. The candy shelves are put back in place, the fridge is filled with drinks, the dust is wiped away and the play and sports equipment is neatly returned to the rental area. The KIOSK is much more than a classic salesroom. It is a contact point for neighbors, PARKS users and initiatives that want to help shape the east of Hamburg together.
