What WERK1 Coliver Say
Similar to Coworking, the “Co” stands for community: the community is at the heart of our Coliving. We asked our community how they experience their time in the WERK1 Coliving.
What is Coliving at WERK1?
WERK1 Coliving comprises 63 modern apartments that offer everything you need to live in a small space. Centrally located in the Werksviertel-Mitte, flexibly bookable from one to six months and with direct access to the large WERK1 community and Munich’s startup scene.
Derived from Co-working, where freelancers and startups share workspaces, Co-living transfers the idea of community to the living area. The “Co” stands for community, which is at the heart of this modern form of living. The residents not only share living space, but also interests and an entrepreneurial spirit.
Thanks to the combination of coworking spaces, office space for digital startups, a café, event and meeting spaces and a variety of events, WERK1 offers the residents of Coliving the perfect connection to a large, dynamic community of entrepreneurs, freelancers and visionaries.

Why can only startups and scaleups rent the Coliving apartments?
WERK1 is funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy and is therefore subject to funding conditions. The purpose of the funding is to support digital startups. By offering the Coliving concept, we support the growth of Munich startups and the establishment of national and international startups in Munich. For this reason, only startups and scaleups are allowed to rent our Coliving apartments.
How does the payment work?
Once receiving the booking, the startup gets a one-off request for the payment details (credit card or direct debit). From then on, an invoice will be sent monthly and the rental costs will be debited automatically. Thus, you don’t have to worry about anything. If your startup has several rooms, they will be billed collectively each month.
Cancellation policy
You can cancel free of charge up to 14 days before arrival or postpone the date (depending on availability). After that, 1 month of your planned stay will be charged in any case. If you already have an apartment and want to shorten your stay, the same 14-day period applies.
No-Show policy
In case your reservation runs “no-show”, meaning you do not arrive at the day of your booking, we will charge you 1 month rental fee.
Can I extend my stay in the apartment during my current occupacy?
In this case please just contact the Coliving team. If there are available rooms left and the 6 months of maximum occupancy are not exceeded, it should be possible.
