MACHWERK, a coworking loft at Holzmarktstraße 66 in Berlin-Mitte, can be hired for conferences, workshops, network events and company parties with up to 199 guests. Two separate meeting rooms take 10 to 15 people for strategy sessions, trainings and interviews. The building stands one minute on foot from Jannowitzbrücke station.
Seminars and company events
The larger option is Main Space (Full), the whole 300 m² open space, used exclusively by your group for up to 199 guests. Main Space (Studio) is the front event area of the same loft, 200 m² for up to 100 guests. During a Studio booking the coworking area at the back stays visually separated. The Studio is bookable on weekdays from 6 p.m. and all day on weekends, while the Full space can be booked at any time.
Both event spaces come with a sound system with speakers, large mobile screens, a kitchen island with free coffee and tea, office supplies, a printer, a table football and a piano for breaks. A projector, whiteboards and flipcharts are available on request. Seating and layout are arranged to suit your event. A community management service is added to each event booking, and security staff are added from 80 guests.
Rooms and capacities
The two event spaces are Main Space (Studio) and Main Space (Full). The Bright Room measures 30 m² and fits 10 to 15 people. Its large west-facing windows bring in daylight and look onto the historic Pfauenbrunnen fountain, which suits team workshops and brainstorming. The Oval Room measures 27 m² and is built around an oval conference table for up to 12 people, with a calm, closed atmosphere for board meetings and negotiations.
Both meeting rooms have a video conference system, a TV screen, fast WiFi, two whiteboards, free coffee and tea, and access to the kitchen, printer and office supplies. They can be booked online by the hour, from two hours, without a membership. They can also be added to a Full space booking as breakout rooms.
Catering
The kitchen is available to you and your guests, with a fridge, microwave, kettle, crockery and glasses. Water, coffee, tea and milk are free. For events, MACHWERK arranges catering on request and can recommend caterers that fit the occasion. You may also bring your own caterer, in which case a per-person fee applies for kitchen use, tableware and cleaning. The ground floor of the building holds several restaurants, and partner restaurants nearby offer lunch options. Guest chefs also cook on site from time to time.
History and setting
MACHWERK describes itself as a social coworking space for Berlin's impact community, with more than 500 m², over 80 flexible and fixed desks, phone boxes, a lounge and a kitchen. Regular community events and a fortnightly community breakfast run alongside private hires. The loft lies between the Spree and the television tower, in a district of restaurants, cafés and culture.
Getting there
Jannowitzbrücke S-Bahn and U-Bahn station is one minute on foot. Berlin Hauptbahnhof is about 20 minutes by train and BER airport about 40 minutes by train. The television tower and Alexanderplatz are 15 minutes on foot. Bicycle stands are at the building, and public parking and car parks lie around Jannowitzbrücke.
