market overview

Europe's largest and most decentralised office market

Germany has the largest and most distributed office market in Europe, with flexible workspace supply spread across six major commercial centres rather than concentrated in a single capital.

Berlin is the country’s technology and creative hub, with the deepest coworking market around Mitte and Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg.

Frankfurt is the financial capital and home of the European Central Bank, with premium serviced supply in the Bankenviertel.

Munich carries the weight of advanced manufacturing, insurance and technology, consistently holding the country’s highest office pricing. Hamburg combines port, logistics and media demand. Cologne and Düsseldorf anchor the Rhineland, with strong media, advertising, fashion and telecoms clusters. Product ranges from premium managed suites to an established coworking sector with strong local operators. Occupier demand is driven by industrial HQs, financial services, insurance, technology and a deep Mittelstand base that spreads well beyond the six major cities.

Common questions

Office space in Germany typically costs between €450 and €1,100 per desk per month for flexible workspace, with pricing varying by city and submarket. Frankfurt’s Bankenviertel and Munich’s inner ring command the highest rates, with premium suites exceeding €1,300 per desk. Berlin, Hamburg, Düsseldorf and Cologne sit in a similar mid-range. Smaller markets including Stuttgart, Leipzig and Hanover offer comparable product at 30 to 50 percent below the Frankfurt and Munich peak.
Germany offers three main types of flexible workspace: serviced offices, coworking spaces and managed offices. Serviced offices provide private fitted suites on short-term contracts with reception and meeting rooms included. Coworking delivers hot desks and dedicated desks in shared professional environments. Managed offices deliver a bespoke private floor designed, fitted and run by an operator on a single monthly fee covering furniture, technology and building services.
Germany’s principal office markets are Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Cologne and Stuttgart. Unusually for Europe, the country runs a genuinely distributed office market rather than a single dominant capital. Berlin anchors technology and creative demand in Mitte and Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. Frankfurt’s Bankenviertel hosts the European Central Bank. Munich concentrates advanced manufacturing and technology in the inner ring and along the Isar, with Hamburg leading media and Düsseldorf serving corporate services.
Flexible office space in Germany is available from one month upwards, with most operators offering rolling monthly or 12-month agreements inclusive of furniture, utilities, cleaning and reception. This contrasts with the conventional German Gewerbemietvertrag, which typically runs five years minimum with an occupier responsible for fit-out, Nebenkosten service charges on top of base rent, and significant Kaution security deposits often equivalent to three months’ rent.
Germany’s office demand is led by manufacturing, automotive, financial services, technology, professional services and chemicals. Frankfurt anchors banking and finance through Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank and the ECB. Munich hosts BMW, Allianz and Siemens alongside a deep technology cluster. Stuttgart concentrates automotive through Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, Berlin leads the country’s technology and creative scene, and Ludwigshafen-Mannheim anchors chemicals through BASF.
