Zentrum für Technikkultur Landau e. V. (ZTL) is a non-profit association dedicated to promoting education and technical culture. We have built our community space at Klaus-von-Klitzing-Straße 2. It features workshops for handicrafts & creative printing, electronics, wood & metalworking, and 3D printing, space for hacking and nerding out, and the ZTLwirtschaft with kitchen & lounge, and cold drinks.
At ZTL, people, nerds, and electronic devices of all backgrounds, genders, and ages are warmly welcome.
