Realizing kick-ass ideas.

Hey! We’re Niko & Max, the two minds behind Ideen-Butze — a small creative garage where ideas don’t just pop up… they actually get built.

Our story started way back in 11th grade, when destiny (and the seating plan) made us bench neighbors in German class. While everyone else was grinding through grammar, we were busy dropping rhymes, sketching little rap concepts, and basically doing everything except what we were supposed to do. That was our first taste of creating things together — even if they were mostly jokes at that point.

After graduation, life did what life does: it sent us in completely different directions. For years, we had zero contact.

Then, out of nowhere, we crossed paths again — one of those random encounters that somehow feels strangely meant to be. We caught up, reconnected, and realized that spark from back in school was still there.

A little later, Max recommended Niko as a developer, and suddenly we were back at the same desk again, this time at bytabo® in Bamberg, building digital products instead of classroom punchlines. Working together again just clicked. And with every project, the list of ideas we wanted to try out grew bigger.

That’s when Ideen-Butze was born.

A place where our “hey, what if…?” moments don’t get lost in voice notes or napkin sketches — they turn into real experiments, real products, real impact. We’re here to test, tinker, and bring ideas to life with curiosity and good vibes.

So yeah… that’s us.
Two old bench neighbors, still creating together — just with slightly better tools.
