WikiBär, Wikipedia community center in Mitte, Berlin, Germany.
This community workspace at Köpenicker Straße 45 features multiple rooms equipped with projection systems and videoconferencing technology, allowing Wikipedia editors to organize group editing sessions and collaborative documentation projects.
The center opened in April 2017 at Gartenstraße 92 before moving to its current Luisenstadt address in March 2019, providing the Berlin Wikipedia community with expanded facilities for editing events and knowledge documentation workshops.
Thursday evening gatherings bring together Wikipedia contributors for collaborative editing sessions, while monthly beginner workshops introduce newcomers to the platform's editing conventions and community guidelines, fostering knowledge sharing across experience levels.
Bus routes 165, 265, and N65 stop at Köpenicker Straße/Adalbertstraße, 35 feet from the entrance, while Heinrich-Heine-Straße subway station lies 2,000 feet away. Event schedules and access arrangements are posted on Wikipedia community pages.
WomenEdit sessions combine physical attendance with remote participation through video links, addressing gender gaps in encyclopedia content by encouraging more women editors to contribute articles on topics traditionally underrepresented in online reference works.
