Jan Rodenwald Founder | Agorai
The Coworking is great! It offers just the right mix of focus and exchange. I hardly ever do home office anymore. …and Stefano’s coffee is simply the best! ☕️😊
Niklas Linss Co-Founder | CLAY
The community at WERK1 is absolutely great. You always meet interesting and helpful people and especially in the coworking area there is a very open atmosphere. The Café is perfect for getting into conversation with others and the table tennis tournament with the community was an absolute highlight for me.
Shohel Rahman Freelancer Web & Graphic Design
The good thing about Coworking is that you quickly lose the feeling of being a lone fighter and expand your circle of friends over time.
Jörg Hermann Data Protection Officer
WERK1 is much more than just a cheap place to work. Here I’m not just offered a desk, but an entire network.
COWORKING – What is that?
Coworking is a global trend. It is called a new form of work and stands for innovation and community. In addition, it takes place at the pulse of time.
THE IMPORTANCE OF COWORKING
In the end, Coworking means nothing more than “working together”. People from different fields as well as with different backgrounds meet in a collaborative environment to work together. They are all connected by community, networking and the desire to contribute to something big. This spirit is incomparable. Coworking offers so many opportunities, not only in terms of networking.
- Meeting new people
- Learning from each other
- Creating something great
- Thinking big
- Discovering new workspaces
It is true that working from home has replaced the usual working in the employer’s office, especially in recent times. However, a creative environment and the spirit of a community are essential in everyday work.
Munich: City of innovations
Of course, Coworking is becoming increasingly popular. But why should you work in a Coworking Space in Munich? The city at the river “Isar“ is well known by companies and employees. We all associate Munich with the Oktoberfest, FC Bayern Munich and the proximity to the Alps, Austria and Italy.
But Munich not only has a lot to offer in terms of leisure and tradition. The Munich metropolitan region is considered one of the leading European economic areas. The direct vicinity of the six DAX companies headquartered in Munich also plays a role here. With a variety of industries and a great deal of dynamism, Munich boasts a high level of economic performance. Not only the Munich graduate rate of 37.1% in occupations subject to social insurance contributions exceeds the Bavarian (18.2%) and German-wide value (17.4%) in 2020. The employment trend also continues to show a positive upward trend. In addition, Munich is establishing itself as Germany’s second startup hotspot.
Coworking Spaces also contribute as a hub of creativity in these circles. In Munich in particular, they stand for innovation and inspiration.
5 REASONS for COWORKING
Not convinced yet? We have five reasons for you why coworking is definitely worth it!
FLEXIBILITY
Adjust your membership specifically to your needs. You decide whether you want to use the service every day or just once or twice a week. Plus, there are no long hidden cancellation periods.
Community
This is especially important at WERK1. But you can still generally say that networking comes first in coworking. Getting to know new people, working together and being creative together. It all offers so many opportunities and possibilities for the future.
FUN
After a busy day, you can’t miss an after-work beer, of course. This way, you get to know a wide variety of people from different fields of work and can also make new friends at the same time.
PRODUCTIVITY AND MOTIVATION
“We’re all in the same boat.” This feeling is conveyed in Coworking. Although everyone is working on their own projects, it’s the collective idea that counts. The motivation of others is contagious and spills over onto you.
SUPPORT
Forgot your charger? Need help with your design? Your Wifi isn’t working? In Coworking, people help each other out. Skills are exchanged in a give-and-take culture.

History of Coworking
Actually, the concept existed long before the term became established. The first beginnings of the now universally known Coworking came with the spread of the Internet. The first Coworking Space, “c-base Hackerspace,” was established in Berlin in the fall of 1995. At that time, it was not yet called a Coworking Space. Nevertheless, the focus was still on community and exchange.
In 1999, this innovation also spilled over to the US. “42 West 42” opened in New York. Here, software companies could rent flexible desks that could be booked by both freelancers and startups. The “hot desk” model was born. Little by little, more and more Coworking Spaces opened in different cities. In addition, the first centers for founders and entrepreneurs were established.
Finally, the first official coworking space opened in August 2005 in the “Spiral Muse” in San Francisco. Brad Neuberg, who opened this space, pursued a specific goal. The structure and community of a company should be combined with the freedom and autonomy of a freelancer.
In the following years, the first official Coworking Space in Germany was also established in Berlin. In 2009, the “betahaus” was founded with 400 square meters. This was followed by further openings in Hamburg, Cologne and even Lisbon.
Nevertheless, another foundation in New York in 2010 influences coworking until today. WeWork was founded in 2010 and quickly became a big player. Then, in 2016, they opened their first Coworking Space in Germany.
By 2018, there were over 500 Coworking Spaces in Germany. Worldwide, there are an estimated 18,700 spaces – and the number is growing. In 2020, the number of Coworking Spaces was estimated at 26,300.
