From 29 September to 3 October, architect and skater Tun Kintzele will host a hands-on workshop at the old slaughterhouse in Hollerich. Together, you’ll pour, shape and finish DIY concrete skate modules, following every step from the first pour to the final touch. By the end of the week, a skatespot will have taken shape, built in the raw spirit of underground skate culture.🛹

On 4 October, the spot opens with a full day of action. Expect a skate jam, skate-for-tricks sessions and DJ sets, with drinks on site. Besides the skateboarding, you can join creative workshops in the form of art, upcycling concepts and photography. Take part in a round-table talk with key figures of the local scene to close the day.
