4 Coworking Spaces in Konstanz

About Konstanz

A city sitting on Lake Constance in southern Germany, Konstanz has a stunning medieval district named Niederburg plus a town hall smothered in intricate frescoes with a Renaissance-styled courtyard. Museum buffs will have fun checking out the Rosgarten Museum that gives an insight into the region displaying prehistoric to 20th Century objects. This is a university city with a lot of exuberant and tech savvy youth in its streets, as it is home to the elite University of Konstanz that was established in 1966. There is innovation running through the city's veins, as it was the birthplace of Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, the brains behind the famous Zeppelin airships. Coworking venues have opened their doors in the streets of Konstanz to cater not just to its locals, but also to wandering nomads with laptops in their bags that wish to get some work done as they traipse around the globe.

A popular cross-border shopping town with a generous exchange rate between the Swiss franc and the euro, Konstanz's streets overflow with retail chains such as H & M, much to the local's disgust that believe it is destroying the culture of the town that dates back to the Stone Age. The Rhine River runs through the city with a bridge connecting the 2 parts. The old town cloaked in old buildings and twisting alleyways sits on the south of the river with its southern border connected to the Swiss town of Kreuzlingen. The larger part of the city containing the residential areas, industrial estates plus the university, sit in the north. Konstanz's townscape sits in the shadow of the awesome and majestic "Münster" Cathedral and has several other churches where you can duck in and say a prayer if you feel the need.

Germany's startups have a reputation for doing really unique and cool stuff where once e-commerce dominated the scene. Now there is an emphasis on science and manufacturing that actually fits in with German's historical strengths. Startups are into technologies in the health care, finance and transport fields. Coworking venues have become the support and the gathering enclaves for these out-of-the-box thinkers set on changing the tech scene of Germany.
