Our remodeled Mercedes Citaro 530 offers three fully equipped bathrooms. Each bathroom includes a shower, a toilet, a sink and a waterproof closet with one outlet. One of the bathrooms offers enough space, a ramp and height-adjustable sink and is suitable for wheelchair users.
Outside the bus, we installed an 8 x 2.5 m awning with front and side walls. This provides space to warm up during the winter and allows conversations in privacy from the busy public streets.

Opened on December 24th 2020 in cooperation with the district Hamburg Mitte and the FC St. Pauli in front of the Millerntor stadium, the shower village offers shower and hygiene at 5 days a week. Due to the start of the new season of the FC St. Pauli, the shower village moved to its current location on Glacischaussee in July 2021.
The three bathroom containers are each equipped with a shower, a toilet and a sink. There is an issue for clothing & care products as well as lounge and storage areas. The whole area is fenced for privacy and a custom made roof protects from rain and sun.

We believe that small things can change the world. A shower and a warm-hearted conversation do not make a home to those living on the streets – but overtime it might increase self-esteem and the courage to take the next steps into a self-determined life and finding a home.
We have a dream of making hygiene accessible for everyone, preferably in their own bathroom. Until this becomes reality, we drive our bus to where this access is yet to be established.
VISION «Everyone has dignified access to hygiene and society.»
PURPOSE «Everything starts with dignity. It is directly linked to the appreciation of one’s own life. That’s why we at GoBanyo stand up for the dignity of people who have to live on the streets.»
MISSION: «We are where our effectiveness is greatest – we provide access to hygiene. People who live on the streets are our neighbors. That’s why we’re local, offering support and a sense of belonging. We create a safe space where people can develop their own solutions. In addition, we ensure open exchange, acceptance and concrete improvements within the neighborhoods where GoBanyo is active. We are loud and bring issues from the streets onto the socio-political agenda. We bring about change in our own way: creatively, optimistically and cooperatively.”
