Everything new begins imperfectly. Society should accept that new things can be tried out carefully, thought about and discussed. Please subscribe to our newsletter... THANKS!
4000 sqm, 7 floors
Cafe, restaurant, hotel & maker club

For hours. As a member or as a guest.
And for meetings and celebrations you can use individual rooms
or reserve the whole house.
Great a la carte cafe/restaurant on the ground floor (no entry, public)
Homemade cakes, delicious food, snack buffet until 6 p.m., beer, wine and cocktails.
Foosball, table tennis, board games and much more. are ready.
5 floors above MacherClub (day guests €9* incl. drinks machine flat rate)
On 7 floors, from the basement to the roof terrace and even in front of the house in the pedestrian zone, you can do what you burn for. Or watch. Or join. Don't ask us, ask yourself. We hold back, don't pretend to be know-it-alls and create opportunities. Because everything new begins imperfectly, needs freedom and well-meaning helpers.
Our inner cities are full of opportunities to be served, to buy, to consume. But have you ever tried to become active yourself, to find customers, partners or interested parties for your projects? That's what the MacherClub in the Unperfekthaus is for - an Essen specialty! We are a hospitable community of active people, and we utilize a wealth of resources here that are often not available at home. We have group rooms, stages, workrooms, studios, technology, musical instruments,... and members can also get areas where they can leave things or lock them away.
Your project becomes public, you have the chance to find interested parties and customers (yes, earning money is also ok with us). And no waiter pushes sales when you're there for hours. The 9€* that we expect from day guests for the care of the rooms, technology and the unlimited use of drinks machines are too expensive? Then meet up in our à la carte cafe/restaurant on the ground floor. Or become a member of our MacherClub, contribute something, take on tasks for our club and save yourself the 9€ drinks machine flat rate. More...
*) reduced 8€
"Everything finished, perfect is admired, everything in the making is underestimated"
(Friedrich Nietzsche, who unfortunately never got to know the imperfect house)
To be too good to be true? Correct! ;-) The MacherClub is a project for all of us, and everyone contributes something. We all (guests too!) leave our campsite clean, load the dishwasher, take any rubbish home with us, make sure that doors and windows are closed when it is raining or cold and generally assume responsibility for our club. THANKS!
So that you feel comfortable
There are vending machines on every floor, and any amount of cappuccino, espresso, cola, soda, spritzer, tea, cocoa is included for members and guests. And of course you can also eat à la carte. Supporting members support the house and have free access (more...). Startups and artists can be subsidized (more...).
For your meetings
Groups of all kinds will find large and small rooms in the MacherClub, with and without a stage, roof terraces and much more. - Gladly also with great buffets or with the use of the already available buffets in the house. Unrented rooms are available for spontaneous use - you don't have to pay for the room, but we ask that you leave it tidy and wipe off coffee stains, etc. from time to time. More...
So that you can get to know each other
Another important point in the MacherClub is networking. You can use the links above to find active people from different areas who work in the Unperfekthaus. Get in touch, find out what's on, join in! More...
For your foreign guests

The Unperfekthaus is perfect for YOUR event and YOUR project!
Because it's not a neutral, interchangeable place. It attracts doers, helps, networks, and it helps you to find more participants, because some love the imperfect house or have always wanted to discover it.
Does your company want to hold a big event in a unique environment? Full or part rental...

The imperfect house wants to be on the many MacherClub floors...
...give you and your ideas space and support. Help you try things, even if they don't work out right away (imperfect, alright?). To offer the city of Essen a meeting point that is open to everyone and that offers a bit more than clothes and consumption, to rest, breathe a sigh of relief, get going. The imperfect house wants to be fun. And be there for everyone who is still amazed, who is curious and impatient. Together with you we can achieve things... to infinity and beyond.
We offer you space, technology, materials,...
