In just one week, with the help of around 30 dedicated maniacs who were willing to spend their free time working in the scorching heat of Münster, we made it happen. Teams from Cologne, Aachen, Sauerland, Hamburg, and Stuttgart joined us and gave us a huge hand – once again: much love to everyone involved – DIY family showed off big time!

Early in the morning, a group of motivated people in their best winter gear gathered to start work. The snow and frosty temperatures were fought with fire and determination.
The Greifi Pool turned one year old this summer and we celebrated it with a big bash. Stuff for tricks and everyone – doesn’t matter what size, wheels, gender, or skills – was welcome to shred. People showed up and contributed their best.
Our annual event has been transformed into a small festival! Sound system, homemade food, craft beer, fire show, the whole story!
