Voices from the Community

WERK1 is for me…

We stay in close contact with our community and do our best to meet their individual needs and preferences. In return, we value and look forward to receiving honest feedback from them.

Jens Thumm Co-Founder and CEO | Predium

WERK1 is a fascinating place with warm-hearted employees and open, innovative founders, with whom you’re happy to meet for a cappuccino at the café. The Predium team enjoys the collaborative atmosphere, where mutual support and cooperation are a given.

Dr. Christina Mauer Founder und CEO | einwert

The access to the countless employee benefits available through WERK1 is a crucial advantage especially for us as a young company in the ‘war for talent’.

Ole Ibbeken Co-Founder | LocalHeroBox

The WERK1 network helped us directly in the first few weeks to find a suitable co-founder as a perfect addition to our team.

Daniel Burns CEO & Co-Founder | Testifi

Testifi has been a member of the WERK1 community since May 2020 and we couldn’t be happier here. WERK1 is by far, ‘the most start-up friendly’ hub in all of Munich! The location is super convenient for the whole team and the WERK1 team are dedicated in their commitment to the startups and entrepreneurs in their care. We consider ourselves lucky to be part of the community here and can whole-heartly and fully endorse the AWESOMENESS of WERK1!

Startup Hub

At the beginning of 2024, WERK1 opened the new WERK1 Startup Hub, where startups can rent affordable offices. The new spaces complement the WERK1.4, which opened in summer 2023. Located in the building of Stadtsparkasse München at Friedenstraße 6 and 6a, WERK1 offers startup offices and meeting rooms on 5 floors with over 3.300 sqm. The distinctive brick building with its pyramid-like recessed facade is within walking distance of WERK1.4 in the Werksviertel-Mitte.
