Werk1 opens Munich's first coliving concept

The Munich startup center celebrated the opening of its new building, Werk1.4, with an official ceremony followed by a summer party. With the new coliving space, Werk1 aims to support startups in bringing employees from all over the world to Munich.

Since June the doors of the Plant1 Coliving is open to its new residents. The living concept includes 63 modern apartments, offering everything you need for life in a compact space. The entire new building, encompassing over 10,000 square meters, includes apartments, additional offices, event and meeting spaces, a new coworking space, and a café. The central location in Werksviertel-Mitte also offers direct access to the entire Werk1 infrastructure.

The ceremonial opening on July 20 was also attended by State Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Hubert Aiwanger as well as many representatives of the state capital Munich and shareholders of Werk1. Robert Richter, Managing Director of Werk1, explained:

"By expanding its coliving concept, Werk1 aims to meet the needs of Munich's rapidly growing tech startup scene and make the city of Munich even more attractive to the regional and international startup scene. In doing so, Werk1 remains true to its claim to be the most startup-friendly place in Munich."

Coliving: Living and working together

Derived from co-working, where freelancers and startups share workspace, co-living brings the community spirit into the living space, designed to appeal to the lifestyle of millennials. Residents not only share living space, but also interests and spirit. Founders can rent the apartments in the Werk1.4 extension building flexibly for one to six months. Residents also have access to numerous services: everything from laundry and cleaning to Wi-Fi is included, as is access to coaching and mentoring at Werk1. In addition to the fully furnished apartments with private balconies, co-living residents also have access to large common areas with a spacious kitchen, dining, and living area.
