## Enter the Käsewerkstatt
One day earlier this year I woke up and realized I had a space problem.
I was trying to build out a workshop and tackle ever more advanced and dusty plastic and woodworking projects and after another small run in with my girlfriend after I had repeatedly crossed the "No-Sanding-and-Linseed-Oiling-Policy" in our Living Room, it was time to do something about it.
I am based in Berlin right now and the housing market is going completely haywire over here ( quick shoutout in solidarity with [Deutsche Wohnen und Co enteignen](https://dwenteignen.de/)).
End of the song: I won't be able to afford to rent a small workshop anywhere near berlin anytime soon. As you will notice in some other projects, I am quite opposed to the Idea that it should be considered normal to park ones car in the middle of the city on public spaces, for example [Autoimmunitaet](/autoimmunitaet), [Commoning Cars](/commoning-cars) or [Dreams of Cars](/dreams-of-cars).
One morning earlier this year, I woke up and realized I had a space problem.
So, the idea was born, to regain that space as habitable zone, taking back usable space from parked cars.
I was gonna install a mobile workshop within a trailer.
Ideally, the trailer should be lockable and have enough standing and working space.
As it turns out, Food Trailers fulfill these criteria quite nicely. So I got out on a quest, finding the cheapest food trailer available in germany.
I'd been trying to build out a workshop to tackle increasingly complex
woodworking and plastic fabrication projects. After yet another disagreement
with my girlfriend following my repeated violations of the
"No-Sanding-and-Linseed-Oiling-Policy" in our living room, something had
to change.
6 weeks later, I found it near munich, got it and started immediately renovating it.
I'm based in Berlin, where the housing market has gone completely haywire
(quick shoutout in solidarity with
[Deutsche Wohnen und Co enteignen](https://dwenteignen.de/)). The reality:
I won't be able to afford renting even a small workshop anywhere near
Berlin anytime soon.
Due to developments in parallel, I was already invited to sell food and have the ofgficial premiere at the Bergfest, a Weekend Format in Brandenburg an der Havel, initiated and organized by [Zirkus Creativo](https://zirkus-creativo.de). Many thanks for the invitation here again!
As you'll notice in some of my other projects—
[Autoimmunitaet](/autoimmunitaet), [Commoning Cars](/commoning-cars), or
[Dreams of Cars](/dreams-of-cars)—I'm quite opposed to the idea that parking
private cars on public urban spaces should be considered normal.
So on it went, I spent some afternoons renovating and outfitting the trailer, and did my first ever shopping at Metro, a local B2B Foodstuffs Market.
## The Idea: Reclaiming Space
Meanwhile, I got into all the paperwork and did all the necessary instructional courses and certificates.
The first food I wanted to sell was Raclette on fresh bread, a swiss dish that is quite popular in germany.
For the future, the trailer is supposed to tend more towards vegan dishes, as a first tryout I also sold a bruschetta combo. This turned out great, since the weather was quite hot and the bruschetta was a nice and light snack, while I could use the same type of bread for the raclette.
So the concept was born: reclaim that space as habitable zone, take back
usable space from parked cars. I would install a mobile workshop inside a
trailer—lockable, with enough standing and working space.

As it turns out, food trailers fulfill these criteria quite nicely. I set
out on a quest to find the cheapest food trailer available in Germany.
The event itself was great, and, in part at least, started paying off the trailer.
Six weeks later, I found one near Munich, hauled it back to Berlin, and
immediately started renovating it.

Due to parallel developments, I was invited to sell food at the official
premiere during Bergfest—a weekend format in Brandenburg an der Havel,
initiated and organized by [Zirkus Creativo](https://zirkus-creativo.de).
Many thanks again for the invitation!
We encountered lots of positive feedback and I am looking forward to the next event. So, in case you want to have a foodtruck at your event, hit me up!
I spent several afternoons renovating and outfitting the trailer, did my
first-ever shopping at Metro (a local B2B foodstuffs market), navigated all
the paperwork, and completed the necessary food safety courses and
certifications.

## The Menu
For my debut, I chose **raclette on fresh bread**—a Swiss dish that's quite
popular in Germany. Looking ahead, the trailer will tend more toward vegan
offerings, but as a first test, I also sold a bruschetta combo. This turned
out perfectly: the weather was hot, the bruschetta provided a light and
refreshing option, and I could use the same bread for both dishes.
The event was fantastic and started paying off the trailer investment (at
least partially!).

## Looking Forward
We received lots of positive feedback, and I'm looking forward to the next
event. The trailer continues to serve its dual purpose: mobile workshop when
needed, food truck when the opportunity arises.
