On March 19th, 2026, Berlin hosted the Coworking Awards Germany 2025 — and Space Shack walked away with the award for Best Independent Coworking Space in Berlin. It's a moment we won't forget anytime soon.
The evening brought together the most important voices in the German coworking industry at the stunning Mindspace location on Krausenstraße — operators, partners, and visionaries. An evening full of energy, genuine conversations, and real connection. Exactly what this industry stands for.
The Coworking Awards Germany is an annual recognition program organized by Workaround that celebrates the best coworking spaces, teams, and individuals across Germany. Awards are judged by an independent jury of industry experts across categories including Best Coworking Space, Best Independent Coworking Space, Best New Launch, Best Sales Person, and Sustainability Leader.
Winning in the Best Independent Coworking Space category means being recognized not as part of a global chain or corporate network — but as a space that has built something genuinely unique, community-first, and independently operated.
This recognition means a great deal — not because it's a trophy, but because it comes from a jury of experts who understand what it takes to build a coworking space with real character. Independent. Without a corporate safety net. With a genuine community at its core.
When our name was called in the category "Best Independent Coworking Space", there was a brief moment of silence. Then applause. A recognition that what we've built at Akazienstraße 3a has substance — and a name in this industry.
"Coworking is not a desk business. It's a people business — and our community speaks for itself."
Space Shack is a coworking space in Berlin Schöneberg built around one idea: that work is better when people feel genuinely welcome. We host a community of freelancers, startups, developers, coaches, and creatives from over 50 countries — people who might never have crossed paths otherwise.
What sets us apart is not just the space itself, but the culture. Openness and mutual respect are not values on a wall — they are lived every day. No corporate hierarchy. No rigid membership tiers. Just real people doing meaningful work, together.
Behind this award are no algorithms or marketing budgets. It reflects the decision of every single member who chose Space Shack. Every freelancer who wanted a place that feels like home, not an office. Every team that has grown with us.
Congratulations to all other winners and nominees. The standard in Berlin is exceptionally high — and that is precisely what makes this award so meaningful.
