## About

CORE Oldenburg isn't just a coworking space — it's a nationally recognised community hub carved out of a converted former Hertie department store right in Oldenburg's city centre. Ranked in Germany's Top 5 coworking spaces for 2025 and awarded 2nd place for Most Innovative Space and Best Community Management, CORE earns those titles through specifics: a ground-floor Markthalle serving regional and international street food open to everyone, regular workshops and networking events, and a resident feel-good dog who keeps the mood honest. The upper coworking floor offers flexible and fixed desks alongside private offices, all accessible by lift. Members on Flex, Fix, and office plans get 24/7 token access and a free VWG public transport combo ticket covering Oldenburg's city zone — a rare perk that actually reduces the cost of your commute. True to its CORE Kodex, the space is explicitly inclusive: gender-neutral bathrooms, step-free access, and a safe-space ethos baked into how the community runs.

## FAQ

### What makes CORE Oldenburg different from other coworking spaces?

CORE Oldenburg is ranked in Germany's Top 5 coworking spaces for 2025 and placed 2nd for Most Innovative Space and Best Community Management — recognition rooted in its award-winning conversion of the former Hertie department store, its ground-floor Markthalle with street food open to all, and a community ethos that is explicitly inclusive. No other coworking space in the city combines a working food hall, regular workshops, and a nationally awarded community under one roof.

### Is CORE Oldenburg accessible for people with disabilities?

Yes. CORE Oldenburg has a step-free entrance, a lift to the upper coworking floor, and an accessible bathroom. The space also features gender-neutral bathrooms and explicitly rejects ableism in its CORE Kodex, positioning itself as a fully inclusive environment.

### What membership options are available, and do members get public transport included?

CORE offers Day Pass, Flex Desk, Fix Desk, and private office memberships. Flex Desk, Fix Desk, and office members receive a free VWG public transport combo ticket covering Oldenburg's city zone 740 — a perk that effectively reduces your monthly commuting costs. Members on these plans also get 24/7 token access to the space.

### Is CORE Oldenburg suitable for students?

Yes — CORE Oldenburg is particularly well suited to students, with a creative atmosphere, community-driven events and workshops, and a central location in Oldenburg's city centre. The University of Oldenburg has hosted lecture series at CORE, and the inclusive, welcoming environment makes it a comfortable place to work and study alongside freelancers and founders.

### Can I eat at CORE, and is the food hall open to non-members?

Yes. The ground-floor Markthalle at CORE serves regional and international street food and is open to everyone — you don't need a coworking membership to eat there. Reviewers have highlighted fresh Arabic food, good coffee, and a range of options to suit different diets and budgets.

### What kinds of events and community activities does CORE organise?

CORE runs regular workshops and networking events as core parts of its community programme. The space is designed for relaxed exchange and new encounters, and its award for Best Community Management reflects how actively these events are curated. The resident feel-good dog is also a regular fixture.
