Deutsche Bahn closes co-working locations: Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe affected!

shock for commuters and business travelers! Deutsche Bahn has decided to drastically shorten its coworking offers at the train stations-including the Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe station! Since 2020, these innovative jobs have existed, which should offer a useful option for long waiting times. But the hoped -for demand was missing! Where modern office space was once blooming, the focus will soon be on the classic travel operation.

In a surprising turn, a spokesman for the railway announced that the constantly falling demand for the rentable office workplaces at Kasseler Bahnhof and other main train stations in Berlin, Hanover, Mannheim, Düsseldorf, Erfurt, Hamburg, Munich-Ost and Frankfurt meant that these offers are now being set again. Covid-19 pandemic has changed the working models for many people, and the earlier need for a job on trips was hardly served, which led to annual losses in the six-figure area. The train pulls the emergency brake as part of its savings and renovation program "S3"!

Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe station: End of a smart city project

The once highly acclaimed coworking rooms at the Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe were to become part of the "Smart City" project that wanted to expand the use of station infrastructures. But that didn't have the resounding success that the train had hoped for. With the closure of these poorly running business areas, the economically battered group wants to increase efficiency.

Despite these setbacks, the railway assures that the passengers should continue to feel comfortable! The plans for modernizing the train stations are not given up: the DB is currently working on hundreds of train stations and traffic stations, pillars of an improved travel experience in Germany!
