CO21 Abteiberg
Cooperation instead of competition is the motto of CO21 coworking. Initially, it formed the first classic coworking offer in Mönchengladbach starting in 2016 on Hindenburgstrasse; renowned local founders took their first steps towards self-employment there. Since the end of 2019 it has been located on Rathausstraße (Alter Markt). There, the Social Impact Lab Mönchengladbach is now responsible for supporting companies that primarily have the advantage of the community in mind or want to develop in the direction of social business. On three floors, CO21 offers workplaces, offices, event and seminar rooms and even overnight accommodation.
CO21 Marktstraße
Across the street from the Stadtsparkasse Rheydt, located on Marktstraße and above the Rewe market on the second floor, CO21 maintains a second location with six offices from approx. 14 sqm for quiet working.
hundertelf Coworking
A coworking space by creatives for creatives – that’s something that hadn’t existed before in Mönchengladbach. Until young filmmaker Çağdaş Eren Yüksel was looking for new space for his media production company Cocktailfilms. When he finally found suitable rooms near the Minto shopping mall, he knew right away: I’d like to launch more than just regular offices! And thus, “111 CoWorking” was born. Since the early summer of 2020, at Hindenburgstrasse 111, in the most central location, he has been offering a “sociable working atmosphere with a feel-good factor” – in the form of so-called hot desks (rented by the day), flex desks and fix desks. Around 15 workstations are available in total. Workshops, events and meetups and meeting rooms are also part of the portfolio, as are the popular “free beer Fridays”.
MGMG Coworking-Space
Marketing Gesellschaft Mönchengladbach mbH (MGMG) offers 3 flex-desk and 3 fixed-desk workstations for monthly rental. The price is valid for the rental period, which starts on a desired day and ends on the same day the following month. The rental is not automatically extended – so there are no toggle contracts. Booking and billing are completely digital to ensure maximum flexibility. The workstations are each equipped with a desk and desk chair. WLAN, a printer / scanner / copier (fair use) as well as the kitchen and the open space can also be used. Further inclusive services: Beverage flat rate (water, coffee), locker/lockable cupboard, use of MGMG conference rooms for customer appointments (by arrangement and availability), thinkbox and callbox.
Neuwerker Business Office
The business office which was set up by Volksbank at Dammer Strasse 136 has been in the hands of Duisburger D&D Immobilien und Beteiligungsmanagement GmbH since summer 2018. However, the concept of combining affordable office space with a creative coworking atmosphere has stayed the same. Tenants, especially young tradespeople and other small businesses looking to escape their home office, have access to a professional office infrastructure with shared conference and seminar rooms, a reception and a copying station. The 20 to 25-square meter offices are furnished by the tenants themselves. Storage rooms and self-storage options are also available.
Nobel-Business-Center
Professional office space is also available in the outskirts, such as in Wickrath in this case. The Nobel Business Center is all about lower overall costs while also offering better amenities. The special feature of the business model: The users – whether they are freelancers, run a small business or are looking for business premises for a regional branch – do not have to rent circulation areas, toilets, kitchens or meeting rooms, as is the norm – they only rent an office. The Business Center has been in existence since 2011, short rental periods of three months or more are possible, and office space is available in sizes from 13 to 150 m². The spatial cooperation of more than 50 tenants also results in numerous synergy effects.
Regus
Since summer 2018, Regus, a global provider of office space and business centres, has also been represented in Mönchengladbach. At Bismarckstraße 100, the company offers 44 fully equipped, high-class offices on two floors, ranging from 8-square metre offices to an entire office floor. Their offerings also include two conference rooms, two open meeting spaces and parking. Up to 117 workstations are available.
