In co-working spaces, freelancers, start-ups, journalists and business travellers meet to work and network outside their own four walls. Fast WiFi, coffee and a lively community are part of the deal everywhere, but Berlin's spaces each set their own accents. On 1,400 square metres, the Werkhain in Friedrichshain offers modern facilities and a warm community, while the St. Oberholz at Rosenthaler Platz has long been a legend of Berlin's start-up scene. If you want to combine family and work, the Easy Busy in Prenzlauer Berg even offers childcare. From the anti-cafe Be'kech, where you only pay for the time you stay, to the globally networked WeWork in the Sony Center, there is something for every working style. Which space suits your working day?
