Coworking Leipzig in 2020: A guide for newcomers

Written by Shawn Segundo | 09 January 2020

There is a diverse and vibrant ecosystem of coworking spaces in Leipzig. Coworking spaces are great for the ones looking for affordable and flexible, yet professional workspace options, networking opportunities and good company.

Early-stage founders, young entrepreneurs, startup teams or freelancers can choose from a wide range of leipzig coworking options: ranging from easy-going and alternative atmospheres to functional places with professional business environments.

These coworking spaces here in Leipzig offer different services and packages but all of them rely on the same basic infrastructure consisting of office furniture, high-speed internet, printer and access to a kitchen. Additionally, some of them provide lockers, office supplies, and multimedia tools.

The three most common options for using said coworking spaces are “day ticket”, “flex desk per month” (no own desk) and “fix desk per month” (fixed, own desk). Some coworking spaces just offer the third option: The cheapest deal is 95 € per month for a fix desk. The price for a day ticket is between and 10 € and 15 €, the price for a flex desk starts from 99 € per month.

Side note, unfortunately the SpinLab doesn't make this list itself, since our co-working space is exclusive to our current and alumni Startups that have gone through our startup accelerator program :(

But where are the coworking spaces in Leipzig and who should you contact if you're interested? In the following, fourteen of them are presented to give you a good overview where to look for a space to work in Leipzig and what to expect.
