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.

The Importance of Coworking
Coworking literally means “working together” in a collaborative environment with people from different backgrounds and industries. What unites them is a sense of community, the exchange of ideas, mutual inspiration, and the drive to contribute to something bigger. Despite the rise of remote work, personal interaction and a strong community spirit remain essential in everyday work life.
Innovation metropolis and creative hub munich
Coworking is becoming increasingly popular in Munich – and for good reason. The city is not only known for the annual Oktoberfest, FC Bayern Munic or the Isar River but also as one of Europe’s leading economic hubs. Seven of Bavaria’s nine DAX-listed companies are headquartered in the Munich region – more than in any other major German city. The metropolitan area stands out with its growing economic strength, a above-average percentage of academics, and a steadily increasing employment rate.
Munich is also establishing itself as one of Germany’s and Europe’s leading startup hubs. In this dynamic environment, Coworking spaces play a key role as creative hubs. They foster innovation, facilitate networking, and provide an inspiring space for businesses and freelancers alike.

The History of Coworking
The history of Coworking goes further back than the term itself became popular. It began with the rise of the internet in the late 1990s, as more people sought flexible work options.
The term “Coworking” was coined by Bernie DeKoven in 1999, but it wasn’t until 2005 that it became a reality when Brad Neuberg opened the first Coworking Space, the “Hat Factory,” in San Francisco.
As digitalization and changing work models took hold, more Coworking Spaces began to appear. Particularly in the 2010s, as remote work and freelancing became increasingly popular, the number of Coworking Spaces around the world grew. In 2008, the first Coworking Space in Europe, “La Cantine” in Paris, opened, followed by others in London and Berlin.
Now, in 2025, Coworking has become a key part of everyday work life for many freelancers and startups. In Munich, WERK1 has become a popular Coworking hub. As one of the 10 best Coworking Spaces in the city, it supports freelancers and startups by providing an inspiring work environment. It contributes actively to the growth of Munich’s tech startup and entrepreneurial scene. Additionally, important strategic partners and enablers of the startup ecosystem are also represented at WERK1, facilitating exchange, new collaborations, and valuable synergy effects.
WHAT COWORKERS SAY ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE
