Of course we hope that you will truly enjoy your stay in Berlin. But sometimes work has to be done too. For those looking to combine their visit to Berlin with remote work, we’ve compiled a list of 11 coworking spaces and laptop-friendly cafés. Each location offers flexible rental options by the hour or day, with no membership required. Of course, networking is still possible.
Tip 1: St. Oberholz - coworking space in Berlin with tradition
Founded in 2005, St. Oberholz is the oldest coworking space in Berlin. Here you can work on the lively Rosenthaler Platz in the middle of Berlin's hip start-up scene. Caffeine and healthy snacks provide energy. In addition to seats directly in the café, St. Oberholz on Rosenthaler Platz has work desks and conference rooms upstairs. Simply come by, and work while sipping your coffee.
Incidentally, the combination of good coffee and beautiful premises works so well that the St. Oberholz concept now exists at eight locations in Berlin and another one in Frankfurt/Oder. In addition to the traditional location at Rosi, you can also use two other locations around Torstrasse in Mitte: at Zehdenicker Str. 1 and at Torstrasse 49, directly at Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz. There you will be served high-speed WiFi and the in-house coffee from the Kreuzberg roastery Bonanza. All other locations are regular Coworking Office Spaces, where you can rent a space on a long-term basis. Next to full membership there are fixed desks, flex memberships (on a monthly basis) as well as event spaces and meetings rooms available.
