Pixelbar Hackerspace Rotterdam (@[email protected])

Attached: 2 images At this moment there is a big fire at the Keilewerf. That is the building where the hackerspace pixelbar is located in. The fire department allows the building to burn out in a controlled manner. We are shocked If there are any questions, do not hesitate to ask the board of Pixelbar

@pixelbar there is not really anything left.

Pixelbar was behind this wall.

I went to the space as soon as the fire was considered to be under control by the firefighters.

@pixelbar The fire was burning rather strongly as you can see on various pictures.

This is from a professional protographer if you want to see some flames and want to get an impression of the fire.

Zeer grote uitslaande brand in loods - Flashphoto.nl

In een loods aan de Keileweg in Rotterdam is woensdagochtend een zeer grote uitslaande brand uitgebroken. Een grote vuurzee kwam uit het pand.

The #Keilewerf, that awesome community where we as @pixelbar were allowed to be a part of is gone.

It was a group of enthusiasts, small crafting companies of 1-5 people. There was a used wood store - #Buurman.

You rented an unit within this former hardware store and basically worked crafted, hacked and build in those self build places.

@pixelbar the view from above shows it more. Pixelbar is somewhere on the left wall... nothing is left there.

@mcfly @pixelbar Oh man, that really sucks, I'm so sorry to hear this.

I hope there's a call for community contributions to help rebuild, if that's in the future. I'd be happy to put down towards it.

Much love.

as @pixelbar we have to rebuild.

We're running a donation page with direct donation possibilities as much as a gofundme.

We want to build the hackerspace up again.

Our space has burned down but not our #community of the #hackerspace #pixelbar

There is a lot we cannot replace but there is also a lot that we can replace.

First we'd have to find and build a new space in there. For that we will need quite some moneyunfortunately.

https://pixelbar.nl/donations/

We don't even really know how much we'll need.
We as the space will try to post some further updates on our mastodon @pixelbar. If you want to help - follow them, more information for further help will be posted there.

We will also need a lot of non-financial help where hopefully other hackerspaces can help.

When you move into a new space you bring all of those crates and things into your new space.
We can't do that .... unfortunately.

Because of a fire.

So when we open up @pixelbar we'll throw an opening event and maybe we can get other hackerspaces to come and bring stuff what's actually hard to buy and a #hackerspace is full of.

Those of you from a hackerspace know what i talk about.

@mcfly @pixelbar Seeing these pics really hurts. So many awesome things burnt down in that building :(

So glad that nobody got hurt.

@mcfly @pixelbar does not insurance replace some stuff?
@rugk @mcfly no. The building was on a list of buildings to be demolished and you can't insure that.
@rugk The building is on a takedown list and slated for demolishion since 2015. We got yearly extensions. You can't get insurance for such a building. @mcfly
