Business parks & Coworking spaces
Mönchengladbach has a number of high-quality business parks – i.e. interconnected industrial estates which are developed and implemented by private companies based on a uniform concept; the individual plots are then sold or leased to commercial or service companies. The advantage of such business parks is that the infrastructure is used by all businesses, making it more cost-effective.
The city also offers a wide range of work spaces for start-ups, shared office spaces and modern coworking spaces.

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".
