On 30 October 2005, the first Show Hamburger ideas in the kitchen workshop Uhlenhorst in place. 12 students had gathered at a Bilderbuchherbsttag to be inspired by ideas and owner Bernd Hückstädt him feedback on his Joytopia giving idea.

The idea for the 1st Show Hamburger ideas we had consciously "big" is selected, to participants as future owners idea to signal that the ideas salon is serious: It is not a non-binding conversation in the pub, but intellectual challenge and critical thinking. Into thinking and think are needed.
uncertainty about whether the concept of ideas salons would rise at all right now but, we were very pleased with the intense debate and concentrated collaboration of all. From 15:30 h to 19h lasted just under presentation and discussion about whether and how help can Joytopia, the oppressive economic and socio-political problems our time to solve.
filled in exemplary fashion ideas and idea holders the requirements of the ideas Salons: Bernd Hückstädt - supported by his partner Margaret Baier - took complex ideas and concepts out of 10 years of research into words that call for action.
The size of the idea of Joytopia presented not only in its radical novelty and a challenge to the participants, but also the format of the ideas salons. Unfortunately, it was found that the time was running out at the end and had important aspects remain unlit. And the spontaneously chosen Form of presentation as developing questioning conversation seems in retrospect complexity of the issues is not appropriate.
Although the common discussion had lasted more than three hours, many participants were blooming at the end of the official part of the Ideas salons once more in personal interviews and used the exchange with the idea of the owner and his partner.
Despite the great interest among the participants and a lively discussion of ideas salon was therefore the first time been unable all its claims. Participants Although the afternoon had given much food for thought - as well as discussions on subsequent days showed - but the feedback to the idea owner was substantially less than desired by us. The scope of the idea had hindered the participants in the development of a deep understanding, so that the criticisms were rather general and suggestions for further development or dissemination in the round could not be discussed.
Nevertheless, not only the participants at the end have been satisfied, but also owner Bernd Hückstädt idea. He has seen the ideas salon as a valuable forum in which he could try out a new view of his subject and gaps was noted in the communication of the concept.
We were pleased that the first Show Hamburger ideas went so well - but we see also a way to go, it even more closer to the actual concept. The evaluation of the end of the participants requested feedback has clearly demonstrated that the presentation of the idea must be shorter and more structured - and should be at the end really a walk together. (Given the lateness of the hour we had to cancel at this time the walk, unfortunately).
particularly pleased that venue, presentation and theme in the feedback he got 1-notes. We throw ourselves therefore very motivated in the preparation of the next hamburger ideas salons.
