The University of Stuttgart is breathing new life into the rooms of the former Wittwer bookstore on the Vaihingen campus. As part of the project "Let US start!", the start-up cafe "frei[raum]" is making use of the space. The new concept is intended to encourage student start-ups, offering students an innovative working space and a creative working environment. Lots of whiteboards, colorful post-its and the aroma of coffee: in the rooms of the former Wittwer bookstore on the Vaihingen Campus, students are lying on loungers talking to each other, or working together on a laptop. The atmosphere in the newly opened "frei[raum]" is comfortably relaxed. "The name frei[raum] stands for flexible and innovative space", explains Fritz Otlinghaus from stuvus, the University of Stuttgart's student representatives. The University of Stuttgart's start-up initiative "Let US start!" initiated the project and the concept was developed as a close cooperation between stuvus and the university directors.
