MobB e.V.

MobB e.V. is a registered voluntary association (eingetragener Verein) based in Jena, Germany. It operates as a community-oriented non-profit organisation rather than a conventional commercial company, and its public-facing activities are grouped around a free shop known as the UmsonstHaus, counselling services, and cultural and educational programmes. According to its official website, the association provides information about its UmsonstHaus, about Bürgergeld counselling (advice relating to the German basic income support scheme), and about the Kulturpass, among other offerings. The site lists office opening hours and notes that, during periods of high temperatures, both the office and the UmsonstHaus are open only in the morning. It also states that counselling on Grundsicherung under SGB II (the German social code governing basic security for jobseekers) continues to take place. The association's programme of activities includes practical and social offerings. A regular "Nähkästchen" sewing session is held every Monday from 10:00 to 12:00, where participants can have buttons sewn on, zips inserted, darning done, and trouser legs, sleeves or skirts altered. In cooperation with the Volkshochschule (VHS, the adult education centre), MobB e.V. also supports German-language learning: a course titled "Deutsch im Alltag: Jena entdecken in 1 Woche" combines language learning with movement, culture and sport, visits to interesting places and conversations, a city walk, and visits to the city library and the UmsonstHaus. In spring 2024 the association launched a new project called ReparierTreff (repair meeting) at the UmsonstHaus, with an opening event on Monday 31 March 2024 from 18:00, to which all were invited. The association has also conducted a survey of users of the UmsonstHaus, asking whether they would like additional offerings, with questionnaires available during opening hours. MobB e.V. is registered in Jena and is described in structured open data as a registered voluntary association in Jena. Its work is local in scope, focused on the city of Jena and its residents, and it combines charitable, educational and environmental aims through reuse, repair, language learning and social counselling.
