About Cowork Nord

Modern workplaces in Schleswig-Holstein – flexible, professional and close by.


Cowork Nord brings coworking to rural areas: with six locations in Kiel, Neumünster, Eckernförde, Schwentinental, Hohenwestedt and Niebüll. The workplaces are located in regional start-up centres and are open to freelancers, commuters, project teams and companies. Ideal for anyone who wants to work in a focused environment – without long commutes, but with access to a community.

Our history

Cowork Nord was founded in 2018 as a joint initiative between KielRegion GmbH and the economic development agencies of the districts of Plön and Rendsburg-Eckernförde. The idea was to create flexible workspaces in rural areas – places where many people live but where there is little infrastructure for mobile working.

In December 2018, the first coworking spaces opened in Schwentinental, Eckernförde and Hohenwestedt. Under the umbrella brand Cowork Nord, the offering grew rapidly, with additional locations in Kiel, Neumünster and Niebüll.

At the time, the project was funded by the regional budget of KielRegion GmbH, with funds from the state economic programme and the Joint Task for the Improvement of Regional Economic Structures (GRW). Since October 2022, Cowork Nord has been continued by the Wirtschaftsförderung Rendsburg-Eckernförde (Economic Development Agency) – in close cooperation with its partners.

What drives us

Cowork Nord is more than just a workplace – it is part of regional economic development.
Our coworking spaces are exclusively located in start-up centres that are not profit-oriented but rather support-oriented. The aim is to support start-ups, self-employment and modern forms of work – from the first project step to company development.

Our spaces are part of a larger change: coworking is an element of New Work – a working world in which flexibility, personal responsibility and quality of life play a central role. We create the necessary infrastructure for this: affordable, reliable and close to people's everyday lives.

Why Cowork Nord?

  • Because not every good idea needs its own office.
  • Because flexible working should be possible everywhere.
  • Because rural areas deserve modern facilities.
  • Because economic development is linked to quality of life.

Cowork Nord offers affordable workspaces, good facilities, short distances and a genuine network.
